This review is long overdue, but Deadly Wax is a 5 star shop. If you're looking for a mom and pop shop that cares about its neighborhood and its customers then look no further because the owner, Todd, might actually be one of the most welcoming record store owners in the biz. I usually come in to shop for hip-hop vinyl and 12's and I've been surprised by their offerings more than a few times. From Mos Def singles, to the Foreign Exchange, Lily Allen, Living Legends, Amy Winehouse, and NxWorries, this shop has a great selection of vinyl across different genres including hip-hop, jazz, and soul. If you're shopping for used vinyl you can test out the vinyl before you buy it too. read more

Super friendly and informative staff, a great selection of records and some hidden gems! Would definitely recommend this place! :)

Great time looking through all of the LP's, we took a few home with us. Store owner was in and he was terrific! read more

Love this local family owned record shop! The couple who owns it are wonderful and their record selection is amazing! Plus, they offer a great value selection! We're so happy to have them here in Granada Hills and love supporting this local gem. read more

Been going to various Deadly Wax locations since their inception and have not been disappointed. They carry a great range of records, all genres, but a focus on the classics, with some new stuff thrown in there for good measure. Prices are fair and you can find some great stuff on random days (looking at you original pressing of Murmur by REM in pristine condition) Really friendly owner and buys records for fair prices. Small shop, but really pleasant visits and stocked shelves. A definite favorite. read more

A cool little shop with some awesome records. Staff was kind and knowledgeable. I gave it one star less because the place seemed a little stuffy. A fan or the Ac on would have been great. Also I felt it was a little pricey. Mon the less a neat place. read more

Deadly is by far my favorite place to shop for used and new vinyl!! I always leave with something i'm super happy with and they have supplied some true grails for my collection. Great conversation and music always going around the whole store the energy is unmatched. They are always willing to help make a trade or point you in the right direction of your next dream find :) I will definitely be back for years to come. read more

Deadly Wax - Vinyl Records Near Me - Granada Hills, California

This is a super chill laidback vinyl store in a really nice location. They had a great selection of vinyls, the prices were a bit steep in my opinion. I wish they the option to preview a vinyl before you buy. I found the cashier to be somewhat stand off ish but nice once you spoke to him, which for a storefront should be the other way around imo lol. Cool little spot though. read more

First time visitor last week, no great expectations but hoping to find an interesting record or two. After about three minutes I'd found 3-4 records that I knew I'd be buying. Kept on looking, kept on finding treasures! I had to stop myself and begin prioritizing. Not because of the prices - which are excellent! - but just to leave some (hopefully) for another day. I couldn't be happier with the vinyl I found and the prices paid. A used but excellent quality Tales From Topographic Oceans for $6.99? Hard to beat that. Thanks Todd! Hope to visit you again soon. read more

Fantastic shop! The owner is incredibly cool and friendly, always playing great music and offering excellent prices. Every time I visit, I find exactly what I'm looking for, thanks to the owner's helpfulness and knowledge. They have a pretty nice selection too! What I truly appreciate about this place is that, despite its small size, the owner allows you to browse at your leisure without feeling awkward or pressured to make a purchase, even if you're the only customer in the store. While street parking is limited, I've never had an issue finding a spot. Love it here! read more

Today was opening day with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and wow Deadly Wax is amazing! This new record store will definitely become a top spot in the Valley for music lovers. The store has a wide selection that has something for everyone, whether you're an audiophile or a casual listener. There were about 5-6 rows of bins that were well organized and had everything from classic rock, jazz, experimental, electronic, soundtracks, and classical music. There was even a small section for Three Lobed Records and some casettes. The family that runs the store is also very kind. Wishing them all the best in this venture! There is plentiful street parking in the area too, so the whole visit was a breeze. I definitely recommend coming to Deadly Wax for your records! read more

No skinny chefs here! These owners are the same kind of nerds that frequent record shops like I do. I was able to have several conversations about their records and was surprised that I couldn't stump the husband wife team. They probably talk shop at home. Who cares? The customers. The record selection reflects relevant new product and used collections of people who might not sell their prized records to just anyone. I was thoroughly impressed by the shop which packed a punch for its size. I mean, remember the Wherehouse? This shop has 3 times as much cool stuff as that place ever had even though it was 10 times bigger. Anyway, kudos to these vals for making going home fun. Can't wait to get home and crank my latest records and to come back and report. read more

Came with a friend who's really into records. It's a cool spot with a lot of rare finds as well as some more popular picks. They sell records and a smaller collection of CDs and cassette tapes. The staff is SO FRIENDLY!!! They introduced themselves and asked our names. Really kind people and such an awesome find in Chatsworth. Highly recommend. read more

l drove far out of my way to check this place out, only to find out that they don't carry CDs. not a bad little store, just of no use to me.

Walking into Deadly Wax is like walking into your friend's basement and marveling at their awesome collection of vintage vinyl. The selection is great, the owners treat everyone like a friend and there is no hint of snobbishness that permeates other collectible stores. If you're new to vinyl, come on in. If you've been collecting for decades, you're likely to find something you've had your eye on for years. I'm so glad we now have this wonderful spot that the Valley has needed for so long. read more

Deadly Wax - My copy of Blonde on Blonde I acquired in trade! - Vinyl Records Near Me - Granada Hills, California

Cannot recommend this shop more! Family owned by real music lovers. Totally enhances the West End arts district! Great spot for gifts.

I visited this record shop for my first time and was very impressed! The selection ranged from brand new and sealed records, to limited edition pressings, and used records. I was extremely surprised by how many indie artists I found while browsing through the selection! The owner, Todd, was super friendly and such a welcoming guy! I would definitely go back to this shop for its great selection and reasonable pricing. read more

Deadly Wax - Vinyl Records Near Me - Granada Hills, California

I just had such a terrific experience at Deadly Wax, where I sold my vinyl collection. This place is an absolute gem. It was bustling with vinyl enthusiasts, and there was so much great energy there, and the selection was wonderful. Also, the co-owners (a husband-and-wife team) are phenomenal. They were so nice and knowledgeable and cool and just exuded what is too often lacking in commercial ventures today--humanity, passion, charisma, and warmth. I'm thrilled that my collection found a home with Deadly Wax. If you're looking for vinyl, make this your first stop. Thank you, Todd! read more

The selection here is focused yet diverse enough to cater to most music lovers. Overall condition of inventory is solid. Prices are reasonable. The owner is personable and knowledgeable. This place is highly recommended. read more

This place is great! Todd is very helpful. Excellent selection of Music. I definitely recommend going here for new and used Records. All genres. Sincerely, Mike. read more

We love Deadly Wax! Great selection, wonderful people... and unique finds all for amazing prices. My husband and I love it here- and they have a section for kids records too! Support your local Vinyl store! And no one deserves it more!! read more

This review is way overdue. I was in LA last summer with record shopping as a major (if not only) priority. Amoeba Hollywood has long been considered one of the meccas for record collectors and I was excited to spend hours there leafing through their bins. But I have to say, my best store experience was at Deadly Wax. What an incredible selection! Well-organized, reasonably priced, and filled to the brim with excellent stock. After less than an hour there, I walked out with at least 7-8 killer records. Todd, the owner, is just an all-around swell guy. He was welcoming, always smiling, willing to help you in any way to explore what his shop had to offer. Happy to have had the experience of digging there, can't wait for my next trip out to LA. My only two regrets was not having enough money for EVERYTHING I wanted, and also not buying one of their caps. Highly recommend! read more

Great shop in the Valley with awesome owners. Lots of cool finds here. Glad to have you in the neighborhood!

Deadly Wax is the best record store in the valley and beyond! This is a store where you can truly find some grails. I found a copy of the hand painted edition of Animal Collective's Hollinndagain, Oh Sees Songs About Death And Dying, and many more incredibly records here. Have seen even rarer stuff on the wall. And the best part is everything is priced fairly! The owner is an awesome dude and his staff are all cool. If you are into records you owe it to yourself to make a trip to this amazing record store! read more

Love the shop, dig the owners. Very cool peeps. My only complaint is that it's often very hot and stuffy inside. It's a small shop and when you get more than like 6 customers at once, the atmosphere becomes extremely uncomfortable. Feels like an incubus for viral plague, especially now with all the sickness around. Please get some fans, open the exterior door, turn on the A/C! Keep the air moving! Otherwise, excellent selection of top notch vinyl! read more

Reasonably priced, clean vinyl records, friendly guys behind the counter, and it's the only RS on that side of town.

I just started collecting vinyls and this place was awesome! They have a lot of every genre and it's a nice cozy vibe.

The best record store in the valley, with the best affordable prices. My wife and I always find something when we come here. The owners are also the nicest in town and love what they do! And love blessing the masses with little record babies in the form of vinyl to make our days that much better. The vinyls at home sound that much better because of the love poured into them. THANK YOU for giving this part of the valley what it has been missing. read more

Great little vinyl shop located in the west San Fernando Valley call Service knowledgeable for any decent selection across-the-board from rock jazz and everything in between would love to have seen more of a selection with SKA but overall great shop. read more
