History

April 1982. Birmingham, Michigan. Lorna Provonsha and her father Dan Levitt, a popular local jazz drummer and business owner, opened the doors to Solo Records armed only with their extensive collections of records and fueled by a deep passion for music. They soon became a local favorite in what customers dubbed "The Little Green Building." 

2001, they move their location to Royal Oak, Michigan.

2022, after many years of building a legacy, Lorna made the decision to move two doors down to the other end of the little strip mall with ownership being turned over to Heath Craig who strives to keep Solo Records the same fun place to find great deals and be treated like family.
