Was cool to visit this place again! I knew of FOS back when their location was off a back alley near Milton and SoCo in Austin (probably 8 years ago?) Thought they had bit the dust to Austin rent but turns out they moved to SA! Can be a bit pricey for your average collector, but they do have lots of collectible stuff (as they did back at their Austin location) if you're looking for deep cuts or rarer pressings.

They really do have a good selection. Had my eye on some records to purchase on Amazon, but thought I would come here first - instead of repressings, got originals in good condition for much cheaper than Amazon prices. I'll be back!

Do you carry any used audio equipment? Specifically vintage receivers?

Danny Bruen | Jan 2, 2022
Friends Of Sound Records | Jan 2, 2022

Hi Danny! Thanks for writing. We get audio equipment from time to time, all of it is used/vintage and refurbished/tuned up for resale. We are looking at carrying new turntables, but do not at this time. I would call the store, before heading down there, to ask what is currently in stock. We definitely have vintage receivers when we have equipment.

Everyone is required to be masked up before entry and use provided hand sanitizer before browsing we also check your temperature and I am currently waiting on a sneeze guard for the front desk (the last one broke)

Do you know if you have any Slipknot, Korn, or System of a Down vinyl in your catalogue?

MadT.Sax22 7 | Oct 29, 2021
Friends Of Sound Records | Oct 29, 2021

not at the moment

Do you sell band merch? And I'm not talking about Metallica, ACDC, etc. I'm looking for death metal and metalcore shirts. Hot Topic doesn't have them and neither does Box Lunch and other record stores in the area. And I'm NOT looking for CD's/Funko

Unfortunately we do not. Hogwild might be a good look, you would have to give them a call as I believe they are closed.

My parents were classical music lovers. Sadly they are both gone now. Are you guys interested in me bringing them in? Have no idea of the value.

Rowland Harris | Oct 29, 2020
Sophia Perez | Oct 29, 2021

I would buy every single one of those CD's plus the very few death metal, indie, soundtrack, and Latin CD's they have in a HEARTBEAT.

Will you come to my residence to do appraisals?

Riverrat “Riverrat” | Oct 30, 2019
Friends Of Sound Records | Oct 29, 2020

We will come to your house if the collection is large

Do you buy vinyl records? I have Opera, show tunes and tons of classical. TIA

Mark | Oct 30, 2019
Gabriel Dominguez | Oct 30, 2019
