By far the best record store in LA. The owner is lovely. The one star reviews were created by angry teenage bots.

Owners were rude to me and my friend, told us to leave his store because we asked about Vinyl pricing. There’s a lot of vinyl shops in LA, I recommend that people never waste their time visiting this one.

Literally all the bad reviews are true. This was easily the single worst shopping experience of my entire life, nightmarish stuff. I don’t need to get into too many specifics because a lot of other reviews pretty much cover it. I will highlight that I was locked in the store while I heard the owner berate his clerk with racial slurs over the phone. It was surreal how uncomfortable this experience was.

Loved the place. A lot of records, most packed very tightly, so tricky to browse. The owner is a great character, but I can see how you can get offended (as per some other reviews). I enjoyed the bants, but then I come from London ;) Bought a three-piece set, at a slightly high cost. Worth a visit, at least for the experience. One thing I’ll say to the owner - please be nicer to your assistant guy. He’s older than you and is a kind hearted fellow, and don’t need rude bossing around.
