What a great selection! I walked in while waiting for a friend and found an album I didn't anticipate finding. A little pricey but I don't mind considering its condition and the small business. These presses were replicated heavily and I can appreciate a good authentic! It's always a good time in this little shop. read more

Hidden just off El Cajon Blvd in La Mesa is East County Vinyl; another local shop that proves you don't need to keep going west in order to find good records in San Diego. It shares a home with the Consignment Shack, which is fun to pop into and browse once you've finished shopping around for music. The inside of ECV is somewhat unconventional, yet welcoming. Once you walk through the door, there are couches and chairs set up for relaxing. You will also find various pieces of living room furniture for sale. It feels like going over to a friend's house, especially when you are greeted by the store's owner and main employee, Kelly. Her customer service is top-notch, and she will talk to you like she's known you for years. One of the coolest things about this shop is its vintage record shelves. They used to belong to an old Tower Records store, but are now used for Kelly's ever-changing inventory of classic, used vinyl. She also has a distributor for new vinyl, just in case you're in the market for a high-quality repressing. With the rise of corporate vinyl taking over the music section of big box retailers, it's nice to see small business record stores in your own backyard. Drop in and pay a visit to East County Vinyl. Their prices are more than fair, and they have a guaranteed return policy. Be sure to follow them on Instagram for daily videos of new arrivals and restocks. read more
