“This was the record store of my late teens, early 20s until I moved to Hollywood. My bus stop from my job at the Santa Monica Place stopped here and I would always go in and check out the imports. I bought so many incredible used Beck and Radiohead singles. They also had a lot of used Minidiscs from Sony artists and I had a minidisc player. Lots of Jamiroquai.”

“I have memories of going there after school on the regular with friends. We could listen to music with headphones on record players before we purchased—that I do remember! 1977-82? Pre-CDs, late 70s and early-80s record stock; Nu-wave, punk rock, jazz, alt and the like.”

“Loved that place. Bought so much rare vinyl as-is from them. They slowly winded down between 2022 and 2024, then closed a couple months ago for good.
It was a true independent record store."
