About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

A wide selection of the best in music on vinyl, compact disc and dvd. If it's new and it's good, we've got it. If it's old and it's good, we've got it. We sell concert tickets too. We hope we are, and try to be, the Best Music Shop in South Florida. We were voted Best of in New Times, Best of in SunPost, Best of in CityLink.
We were previously known as the 'CD Collector'. We updated the store's name to Radio-Active Records, since it's a better reflection of what we have on offer... we're more than CDs, we're about good music. We have expanded the store to include space for art shows, live bands (check our bulletins and blogs regularly for upcoming shows), and a seating area with couches and magazines!
If you haven't visited recently you're in for a very pleasant surprise. Come by soon to see for yourself.

We support the people that support you

We keep you in touch with your local 'scene'. We bring you great music, concerts, toys, promotions, social events and even book clubs. Especially don't forget to support those stores who contribute and bring you so much entertainment, among them:
Sweat Records located in Miami next to Churchill's Pub, and
Backbone Records located in Delray.
Kelly's Klassics located in Pompano Beach.
