Opened November 24, 2014

Founded by Wade Ogle.

Block Street Records is Wade Ogle’s love letter to music, community, and the feeling of finding something real. Since opening the Fayetteville shop on November 24, 2014, Wade has built more than a record store — he has built a place where people come to dig, talk, discover, remember, and leave with something they did not know they needed.

From Fayetteville to Bentonville, Block Street Records still feels personal: full shelves, loud walls, strange finds, staff picks, local character, and the kind of shop energy you cannot fake.

From The Stage

Before the bins, there was the stage.

Wade Ogle came from the live-music world — playing in bands like The Faith Healers, standing inside the same Fayetteville music culture that would eventually shape the soul of Block Street Records.

Before Block Street Records became one of the most loved record shops in Arkansas, Wade Ogle was already part of Fayetteville’s underground music scene — playing loud rooms, hauling gear through back doors, chasing songs deep into the night, and building community around live music long before streaming flattened discovery into algorithms.

The spirit of those years still lives inside these walls. The shop carries the same energy that once filled places like JR’s Lightbulb Club: obsessive music conversations, unexpected finds, stacks that reward curiosity, and the feeling that music culture should still feel personal, weird, human, and alive.

Block Street Records was never built to feel corporate or polished. It feels lived in. Every aisle, handwritten divider, poster, turntable, and record bin reflects decades of music history, collecting, touring, listening, and genuine love for the culture surrounding vinyl.

What started on stage eventually found a new form in the stacks — a place where old records, new discoveries, local music history, and the people who care about it all still gather together.

The Dig

Some records have to be found in person.

Block Street Records is built for the part of music discovery that cannot be searched, filtered, or recommended by an algorithm. The good stuff happens in the room — flipping through bins, asking what’s playing, spotting a cover you forgot existed, and finding something you did not know you came for.

The full record inventory lives in the shop, where the digging still matters. Looking for something specific? Send a request and the shop can check the bins. If it is available, shipping can be handled directly.
