Best L.A. Record Store
Award Winner 2008

2008 | Best L.A. Record Store

It's a music retail ghost town, yes. We don't need to be reminded. Those were our jobs, and our expense accounts, and our backstage passes, that vanished along with the neighborhood record stores.

The largest selection of music in Los Angeles on whatever format you're looking for. Records are starting to make a come back according to blogs and shit, but this is the real deal spot. Since they opened this spot in Los Angeles, it's been the place to go get your vinyl. It's a good place for DJs to go take in.
