Breakaway Records

By moving from the Eastside to new North Loop digs this year, the vinyl-only Breakaway Records may have found its niche. Owner Gabe Vaughn, master of ceremonies for many a Second Sunday Sock Hop, knows his soul and R&B, and the 45s and LPs are organized with the care of a real record obsessive. If you've got a few hours to dig, you can come away with something rare or get turned on to something new. There's also a healthy dose of punk, psych, and blues, all at realistic prices.
