Rolling Stone Records

Rolling Stone Records was a pioneering music retail chain founded in California in 1969, tied to the famous magazine Rolling Stone. It combined a retail store with a music magazine, offering a curated selection of vinyl records, CDs, and music-related merchandise. Known for its cutting-edge music selection and cultural influence, it served as a hub for music enthusiasts during its years of operation. The stores became iconic for their association with the counterculture movement and music industry. Although it eventually closed in the early 2000s, Rolling Stone Records remains a notable part of music retail history, symbolizing the fusion of music publication and commerce.
