In the documentary about Jay Reatard Better Than Something, there is footage of a young Jimmy Lee Lindsey, Jr. (real name) performing at this record store.

Shangri-La Records store owner Shermon Wilmot remarks that "he was almost an Elvis-like figure, but angrier."

Jay Reatard brought in his first demo tapes to this record store. Eric Oblivian (of the Oblivians) was working there, heard the tape, and decided to release it.
