About This Store
Sig's Lagoon Record Shop is a beloved vinyl destination in downtown Houston, celebrated for its expertly curated selection spanning punk, metal, rock, hip hop, R&B, country, jazz, post-punk, psyche-garage, and electronica. Housed in a compact space that feels far larger, the shop offers two adjoining rooms plus a charming upstairs "attic" filled with bins of used vinyl, CDs, and collectibles. Walls and ceilings are adorned with pop culture memorabilia, artist shrines, and one of the best poster selections around, creating a nostalgic, immersive experience. The staff — including the owner Tomas Escalante and his son — are consistently praised for their deep knowledge, genuine passion for music, and willingness to help customers track down specific titles. Whether you're a seasoned collector hunting for rare pressings or a newcomer building your first vinyl library, there's something for everyone. Prices are fair, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the selection is impressively deep. Though parking can be challenging (paid lots nearby run about $8), the treasure hunt is absolutely worth it. Sig's Lagoon is a true hidden gem and a proud cornerstone of Houston's local music scene.
