After taking the month of March off to allow our humble podcast host, JD Reager, the opportunity to move back home to Memphis with his lovely bride, we’re back in the saddle for April! This month’s podcast carries the distinction of being our first to be recorded in person (shoutout to Graham Burks for use […]
Coming to you on 2/22/22, we’re excited to offer the latest edition of the Shangri-La Podcast. After surviving the regional ice storm and seeing a reduction in the number of local Covid cases, optimism is in the air and music events are starting to pick up. To that end, we’re excited to announce that we […]
If you are like us, surviving 2021 seemed like a long slog and 2022 seems to be offering that same energy so far. Fear not though, fair music aficionados. We at Shangri-La HQ are prepared to meet brutality with some force of our own. This month’s episode of the Shangri-La Records podcast offers as much […]
Happy holidays everyone! It’s been another wild year, but we’ve made it through together. We’ve enjoyed a ton of great releases this year by artists from Memphis and beyond, and for that we can all be thankful.

We’re on the cusp of Turkey Day and another upcoming Record Store Day, and that means the arrival of an extra special edition of the Shangri-La Records podcast! We’re swimming in great collections of used LPs and 45s lately, so John and JD discuss incoming Memphis rarities, as well as some local flavor that will […]
July arrived in Memphis, as the heat and humidity settled in and provided a swampy atmosphere even in the shade. Luckily, we doubled down on heat and got a blistering solo set from Blvck Hippie frontman Josh Shaw for this month’s podcast (shoutout to friend of the store Harry Koniditsiotis for hosting Josh at his […]
This month’s podcast is coming in hot! We’ve got a preview of another RSD drop for next month, some general shop updates, but then we’ve got a super cool set from one of our long time favorites, Paul Taylor.

This means no appointments for shopping anymore, though we encourage you to make an appointment if you want to bring in records for sale or trade. Masks […]
Spring done sprung in Memphis y’all. While the pollen settles us on like a fine mist of Gonerfest PBR, we’re starting to see the beginning of outdoor shows returning and cautious optimism that there’s more opportunities up ahead. With all that being the case, we couldn’t be more excited about this month’s podcast, wherein we […]
Memphis finally unthawed from our winter siege, so we figured it would be a good time to drop another podcast. This time around JD and John talk about facelifts at the shop and a few killer new Shangri-La paintings for sale courtesy of the great Alex Warble (who designed our world famous logo). We also […]
With the general consensus among Shelby County Health Dept. (see the most recent Health Directive HERE) officials being that we need to continue to limit contact among customers, we’re extending our appointment only in store shopping policy. We are going to expand our Monday through Saturday hours though, opening at 11 am and closing at […]
We’re stuck inside of our houses, with the Shangri-La winter weather blues again. Luckily, that doesn’t affect our podcast, with a new episode dropping today.

The holidaze are upon us! We hope yours continue to be happy, merry, and feliz despite how difficult this year has been for everyone.

Hey all, As you probably know by now, our store has been closed to the public for a few weeks and will remain so until our local health experts suggest it’s safe to have customers back in the shop. Until then we’re moving more of our physical stock online, both to this site as well […]
To all our friends and customers: Due to the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus and the advisement of health experts, we will be closing our doors for at least one week, effective Sunday, March 15th. This decision did not come easily, but we are exercising an abundance of caution. The health and safety of our […]

At this time we are going to postpone Fool Fest 4 indefinitely, with an eye towards later this spring. You […]
