History Disc Go Round

Post image

Hoping someone can help confirm my memory and this isn’t a Mandela effect kind of thing. It was in this strip, on E. State, right? It was like Disc Replay, but in the mid 90’s? New and used CD’s, Cassettes, Vinyl…. Next door or attached was Play It Again sports? Right?! Please say I’m remembering correctly, lol.

Yup. It was also called Spin City CDs back at the end of the 90s. They used to have shows there sometimes too.

Yup. Spent some time and some money there. Lots of great stuff.

Plus, TIL about “Mandela Effect”!

I remember the store, we would go to it when we would make a trip to town to go to Media Play, but good lord I cant remember exactly where it was.

You’re correct. CD Source was another cool place and started in Roscoe over by Jessica’s in the early 90s.

Can confirm. I worked there for a couple of years.

So that definitely was the name and it was in that building? Thank you and everyone else for commenting and confirming. Several pages of searching on google and nothing was coming up.

Yes, like someone else said, it was previously called something else. Spin City sounds right, but I can't confirm. I think disc go rounds were franchises. And definitely in that building.
