Super helpful staff and great selection of new and gently used records.Local made skateboards and lil smoke shop too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Small, but very good selection of records from independent artists. Staff is courteous. Ask if you need something because they dont lurk on you during this epidemic.
I love the staff. They are always so nice. I go to get their large incense stocks6. The staff knows me and know exactly what I am coming for. They always keep me informed of when they will get a new shipment of incense in. They are AWESOME.
I love this shop. Been coming here for years, they always have what I need. Even when I dont know exactly what I need, they are always helpful, and I always leave happy. Thanks guys
Bought wrong item in store employees didn’t explain to me what I needed exactly even after telling them I wasn’t sure of what I needed for the vape pen that I was purchasing for. Instead they let me purchase a $50 oil that I didn’t need at all. Never leaving out of the store and item still on the counter. I was told that I had to keep why I had no refund. Mind you I never touched the item or picked it up from counter. You guys gained $50 and I lost $50 for your poor employees. I will never return there and I will make sure that any of the people that I know will never spend money there ever again. You guys are considered to be crooks and theives!!!!!
Iconic place to go. I visit several times a month for my smoking needs. Must see collection of music. Gear for skateboards and fun stuff for date night
Amazing little head shop. Crazy thing was I didnt know it when I called looking for fender guitar pics for my Grandsons funeral. Gotta say they were very helpful and the most sympathetic of all the places I had to go.
Would give them 5 but needs to lower prices and start staying open longer I grew up on this place but it looks like the Baytown smoke shop is going to take the number 1 spot for Baytown headshops and thats really sad tbh ps if youre ever in Baytown stop here and check out their music they have everything from mainstream to local artist ✌🏼
As obsolete as tapes and records might be, theres nothing quite like walking into evolutions tapes and records. Maybe its the blast from the past. Perhaps is the large selection of adult entertainment that once was secondary to The missions of my youth. Now it is the sole purpose for my trip and I Usually find exactly what I need Without getting lost in excess. Whatever the case may be, The steady Rhythm of music combined with incense and debauchery Is usually the precursor to a dam good night.
Great smoking accessories
Small, local, affordable (they recently partnered with Baytown Smoke and brought down their prices a bit). Bound to see someone you know when you step into that shop. Unlike most smoke shops they also sell merch AND music, so if youre not there for glass or papers there could still be something there for you, and the mural out front is just b-e-a-utiful. They do close pretty early (and will even close the store early if its not busy or temperarily for their lunches) so do keep that in mind.
I love the CDs there though back like a mofo
This is an awesome place to shop. They have a lot of cool stuff and they go out of their way to help you find what your looking for.
My brother used to work at Evolution Tapes and Records a long, long time ago. Great staff, well stocked and good memories.
This store is still amazing... Its a landmark thats been here since 1970s they have skate vinyl CDs smoke adult t-shirts and more still going strong and great prices! Long Live Evolution!

2022-07-27Really nice people! They will help you and explains all the products.I have neen using Evolution since 1972. Bought alot of 8 track tapes.
Review №2
2022-04-08I’ve been a follower since the other store opened across from San Jacinto college. Speaking of which it is time to revisit that store and see it is still in operation. I left with the usual arm full of vinyl, old and new. And still I had another five I put back on the shelves. At least they are making room for additional vinyl. You can never have enough and finding it is simply impossible. Next they’ll need crates on the floor and place a few long rubber mats for the bending knees for relief. The number one reason people today don’t crate dig is some pain involved. I would like to see some arty store stickers for sale, with that logo on the store art drawing on the wall.p next to the front door.

2021-07-17Fairly decent selection of used vinyl, did not look at the new stuff as have very little interest in new vinyl. Owner was friendly and willing to swing a deal so highly recommend this place if in Town.
