History

Top Ten Records opened in 1956 as a community record shop and concert ticket outlet (selling the most tickets to the Elvis Presley show at the Cotton Bowl that year). The shop became famous seven years later as the place where Dallas Police officer J.D. Tippit was last seen making a phone call, shortly before he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald at 10th and Patton in Oak Cliff.

Specialties

The project: To save a historic record store in the heart of Oak Cliff and convert it to a sustainable, non-profit, shop and media library; with videos, records and other physical media for sale and loan, as well as community events. Our mission: To develop and sustain a piece of Oak Cliff history as a resource for media literacy and cultural study, while preserving, restoring, and making available to the public an archive of music and film.
