Super chill, easy to talk to, and clearly has amazing taste in music. We chopped it up for a bit, and he even gave me a free Moonshine Records shirt because it was my birthday- didn't have to, but it meant a lot. Now let's talk vinyl... no matter what you're into, you'll find something. The Latin section is fire, the 80s selection is solid, and there's a perfect mix of new and old. Everything is clean, organized, and easy to dig through. I walked out with some amazing finds at great prices and had to seriously stop myself from buying more. Parking was easy, and the shop was super easy to find. I didn't want to gatekeep... but this spot is too good not to share. I'll definitely be back.

It's the kind of place you stumble into and immediately realize you're about to lose track of time. Crate after crate, it's packed with deep cuts that you just don't see anywhere else. I was honestly blown away when I found an Ethiopian jazz record I've been listening to on Spotify for over a decade just sitting there. That moment alone made the entire visit worth it. There's a real sense that whoever curates this place actually cares about music beyond the obvious. It's not curated for trends--it's curated for discovery. Every section feels like a rabbit hole waiting to pull you in deeper. I walked in curious and walked out absolutely so effin stoked. If you're even remotely into digging for records, this place is a must. Staff was so tight!! Prices were reflective of the a1 quality and had so much variety I could have spent so much longer in it.

We loved that the attendance was small so it wasn't as crowded inside and we were able to move around. Prior to starting our decorations, we did a little ice breaker to break the awkwardness. I really appreciated that the food was vegan so I was able to eat something. Penny and Celeste are the owners and they did such a great job with this event. They were very personable and took the time to get to know their clients. I checked their next event and its vision boards. You click their link on their instagram bio. You pay to reserve a spot. When they are not doing events, they also do haircuts, facials, waxes, body scrubs, and more! They have a cute little store inside with their brand where they sell different things such as face masks, clothing, cards, and tote bags. We will definitely be back to do their other events. There is one bathroom. It's located on a small Plaza with parking.

I love buying from local stores and shops in Fullerton there is so much history and so many places to check out. Black Hole should be considered a local institution for heavy punk, new wave, Brit pop and alternative music lovers. When I was looking for the obscure bands that the radio and Hollywood would not play or give love to I could always count on Black Hole records to fill that void of artistic need for the different and not the mundane. Bill is very knowledgeable when it comes to music and you can easily spend hours talking to him about music. He also has a band called naughty women check them out. It beats waiting for albums to come in the mail from Amazon crime.

I collect mostly Transformers figures/comics and it's kinda hard for me to find a shop that gives me a little bit of everything about my favorite franchise.

All the staff is super nice and genuinely super kind! I've had no bad experiences here and they're all super knowledgeable about the things I'm interested in buying.

Similarly, when I went to checkout one hour later, I was quickly and warmly attended to. You read that right. One! Hour! There were a lot of people, but it honestly felt nice. The air buzzed with literary excitement. There were plenty of books for all tastes. I personally love literary fiction, and I was very excited to find Mark Salzman. I overheard other people gushing over their hidden gem finds, too. In the end, I got 8 books, 2 postcards, and 1 tote for less than $26. On a normal day, would I have left with all 8 books? No, but I definitely would have left with 4 of them for almost the same price. Great finds with great prices. Will definitely come back on a regular day, too.

Radiation Records in Anaheim is an absolute nightmare. The owner is a sad, miserable, annoying…read morelittle man with a huge attitude problem, and he runs this shop like a scam. The records are overpriced, often damaged or low-quality, and he couldn't care less about customers. It's one thing to be unpleasant, everyone has off days (though by the looks of previous reviews on here; that's everyday at Radiation), but it's another to knowingly rip people off and sell junk at inflated prices. Save yourself the headache and go literally anywhere else; there are countless record stores in Anaheim with actual inventory, quality control, and staff who don't treat customers like garbage. This place is a joke, and giving them a single dollar is a mistake you won't forget.
