Ohhhh, Temeculaaaaaa (and surrounding cities)!!!! Did you know that this awesome vinyl record shop has been here for over a year now? I knew it was in Temecula, but this entire time, I never thought to stop in since I don't have a set up to play these old school records. Well... there is a first time for everything, and I bought my first 3 records today! I still can't play them, but that's about to change real soon!!
If you know where Bastard's Canteen is on Jefferson Ave., you'll find Discovery Records over yonder, just walk over the little green bridge to the right, lol. The shop shares a parking lot with neighboring establishments, so there's plenty for everyone.
Although the place isn't huge, you're sure to find some good stuff. Owner SB is super cool, down to earth, and very friendly. The vinyl is separated into clearly labeled categories, so just find your genre and search away! The newest finds are on the right when you walk in, and the discounted ones are on the left. There's even a little bin that's marked 4 for $1! Like... WHAT?! If you're a collector, a DJ, or just starting out your collection like me, you should follow their Instagram account to keep up with sales, promos, and current events. One of their recent sales had me doing a double take because SB was selling 10 records for a buck!!! That is INSANE, but awesome at the same time, lol!
I picked up some R&B singles while I was there. The nostalgia of my parents playing their favorite records back in the days brought back so many fond memories. If you're looking for something that's not in the shop, you can send a message to their IG account or call in to inquire. SB can help you track down what you want/need as he travels often to buy and sell vinyl. You can also bring in your old unwanted records, and they'll buy it if it's in demand.
Overall, this is a cool place to pick up records for your growing (or starting) collection. If you're not local but happen to be passing through, I urge you to check it out! Be aware that hours are limited, so be mindful of that! Have fun on your treasure hunt, and be sure to spread the word, ya heard?! ;)
