Size Records is a series of locally-owned record stores in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The store specializes in new and used vinyl, but also carries CDs, cassettes, VHS tapes and more.

History

In 2002, Dustin Wallace, a show promoter, and Jim Paddack, who ran the small record store Music Dimensions from the mid-1990s until the early 2000s, started Size Records. Located next to the Green Door, the record store became a popular record shop, especially between band sets at the Green Door.

After the Green Door moved to Bricktown in 2003, Wallace and Little Mafia Records owner Gianni Santillie took over the building and started a new venue, The Conservatory.

After frequenting Tulsa on the weekends with temporary pop-up shops, Size Records opened a permanent pop-up shop inside Bubble Boutique & Gifts on December 15, 2012.

Roughly four months later, on April 12, 2013, Size Records opened their third location, this time inside the Velvet Monkey Salon’s Plaza District location.

The Vinyl Countdown is a locally-owned record store in Tulsa.

Opened in January 2012, the store specializes in new and used vinyl records. The store, owned by Chris Hyde, Dave Bynum and Heather Bynum, also has a stage for live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Guestroom Records is a series of locally-owned record stores in Oklahoma City and Norman.

History

Owners Justin Sowers and Travis Searle met while living in the University of Oklahoma dorms and worked on a business plan while delivering pizzas for Pizza Shuttle in Norman.

For eighteen months prior to its opening, Sowers and Searle ran a small distribution / door-to-door record shop, collecting names and phone numbers and delivering monthly orders to the homes of customers.

Guestroom opened their first store in July 2003 in downtown Norman. When the shop was ready to open, they put their entire personal music collections (Sowers had about 1200 LPs and 400 CDs and Searle had about 1500 CDs and 400 LPs) into the shop to bolster their used stock.

In 2005, Guestroom moved from its original location (119 N. Crawford) to 125 E. Main Street in Norman. Two years later, in May 2007, Guestroom opened its first Oklahoma City location at 3701 N. Western Avenue. Guestroom opened its third location in the Oklahoma Hardware Building in Bricktown in November 2011.
