B-Side formerly 436 State Street, Madison Wisconsin 53703 presently 514 State St, Madison, WI 53703 Open
The pictures below are from my 2012 visit to B-Side, when the store was at its long time home at 436 State Street. Opened in 1982 by two University of Michigan grads, the store was eventuallly sold to its present owner Steve Manley, and was a long standing fixture on Madison’s State Street.
The store featured mostly new records in its smallish store front, together with cds, dvds and a small offering of used vinyl.
Redevelopment of State Street caused the store to relocate to its present digs, just down the street. On the plus side, the new space is twice as large as the old, and many customers reportedly helped move the store’s stock to its new home down the block.
