Vinal Edge celebrates 40 years spinning records in Houston

HOUSTON, Texas -- An iconic record store is celebrating 40 years spinning vinyl in Houston.

Vinal Edge Records has been a go-to spot for music collectors since 1985, with one of the most diverse inventories of music in the city.

The beloved record shop on 19th Street in the Heights carries everything from new to vintage vinyl, CDs, cassettes, stereo equipment and more.

Owner Chuck Roast is a former radio DJ who first started selling records at punk rock shows in the 1980s, and eventually opened his own store. His love of music started at a young age.

"I was lucky enough to have parents that had music around. We each had our own little suitcase record players and so we each immediately had our own record collections from the time I was a little kid," said Roast. "And I discovered so many things, so many things that to this day I know carved my path musically."
