Solo Records & Tapes

Solo Records & Tapes has been buying and selling music since 1982 in Detroit, operating from Royal Oak on Woodward Avenue. The store carries vinyl records, cassettes, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, books, and merchandise. They actively purchase vinyl records and a wide range of other media formats. The inventory shifts frequently, so regular visits reveal rare and out-of-print items. Open Monday through Friday from 11am to 8pm, Saturday 11am to 6pm, and Sunday 12pm to 5pm.

Founded by Lorna Provonsha and her father Dan Levitt, a jazz drummer, Solo Records built its reputation as a neighborhood favorite. The business moved to Royal Oak in 2001 and changed hands in 2022 under new ownership committed to maintaining its welcoming atmosphere. Solo Records & Tapes is an LGBTQIA+ owned business offering rotating promotions, including discounted CDs, DVDs, and vinyl sections. For large collections of more than 800 pieces, they offer pickup service.
