Cactus Records & Gifts — Local services in Bozeman

Wasn’t able to snag the Killers and Bruce Springsteen RSD vinyl on record store day so I’ve been on the hunt for it for a little bit. And I did not want to pay a scalper. Lo and behold, I found it at cactus records and placed the order. It shipped SUPER fast and got here much earlier than expected. Packaged well too.

Excellent communication too. I couldn’t find the confirmation email of the order (my bad, in the spam folder). And I reached out to them twice: once to let them know I couldn’t find the order email and a second email to tell them I found the email and that they didn’t need to responded. They still responded and they answered quick and were extremely friendly! They even provided the shipping info just to be safe. Which I appreciated, it’s the thought that counts!

This is definitely going to be a record store I’ll look to for my future...

The most overpriced record store I've ever frequented.

They have as much or more merch in store as they do actual music.

Generally a great selection, but only if you're looking for new releases and reissues/represses that you could find anywhere else, or have shipped to your door.

I never questioned that we should support record stores until I moved to MT and started paying twice retail cost of a record-so that other people can pay the rent on a shop that mainly sells things completely...

If you walk into Cactus Records looking for just one record, good luck, you’ll walk out with an armful, an empty wallet, and no regrets. This place is like Willy Wonka’s factory for music lovers, except instead of Oompa Loompas you get the coolest staff who somehow know exactly what obscure pressing you’ve been hunting for. The vibe is so good I half expect a house band to start playing whenever I walk in. 10/10 would recommend though my bank account...
