To find out that Cosmic Vinyl reopened in Eagle Rock brought us joy! This is one of our favorite…read morerecords stores in LA that we talk about to this day. I'm so glad they came back! I love the 70s retro look of the store! I need to digress about the Echo Park store and how we found it by accident. One of our first pre-covid trips to LA, we had to find a vegan restaurant for our daughter. By then we all were kind of hangry and stressed. While we were walking to the restaurant, we passed Cosmic Vinyl in Echo Park. I told my husband to check it out (that got him out of the car and his stress went away). Finding Cosmic Vinyl in Echo Park was one of our favorite shopping adventures. Because I found every album my husband was looking for (LOL), but there is a sense of community and a vibe to this store that we haven't experienced in some stores we have visited. It was sad when their Echo Park location closed, but it was nice to hear they are back.

This organization made groove inspection really easy and I am a huge fan of the attention to detail and consistency throughout the shop. The alphabetical sorting was accurate and the soul section was well-stocked. Most of the records were priced fairly and I found a lot of records I have been searching for a long time. I bought out all the Blue Magic albums they had at the time and was able to find several ones that are not available on Spotify or Apple Music. My only comment is that I wish the used hip-hop section had less singles and more complete albums at reasonable prices. I will definitely return next time I'm in LA. Still searching for Stylistics and Delfonics records.

They carry a nice variety of different genres and rarities up on display. Ok some of the prices are a little steep but you've got to remember as well as me about checking and asking about when it was pressed. Since I was only here to check out the shop and do a little browsing I'm going to say definitely load up your credit card or Apple Pay or whatever it is you use because you could come out of here spending some serious cash. The atmosphere is what you expect at a record shop with plenty of different music genres rolling through the background. The service is great and they're always happy to assist. That's my take, Peace.

6 out of 5. I just found this review by Nick M - and I could not have said it better myself:…read more Nearly impossible to say enough good things about Jen, Oscar, and Rewind Audio! Not only do they consistently have an amazing inventory of diverse, unique, high-quality vintage hifi components (speakers, amps, turntables, cassette decks, etc), but they are also extremely knowledgable, kind, and earnest people who value their customers deeply, and strive to deliver the best possible gear and customer service. Their energy and passion is infectious! Aside from being great people - they offer very fair and competitive pricing on all of their equipment and you can be certain that everything in stock has been inspected, tested, and held to the highest standard - which makes the value nearly priceless. A rare gem in LA! A 'must visit' for vintage audio nerds.

From what I thought it was going to be a goodnight vibe going out to support the line up/headliners. We arrived at the exact time the venue advertised the artist will perform.

I would figure venues would notify their customers about the time changes but not even an email sent. Definitely not coming back for another events to this location.

To be honest, I'm sorry it took me so long because it is the coolest record store! The curated vinyl collection is extensive and eclectic - ranging from Latin American, Reggae, Jazz, Soul, Disco/House & Hip Hop. They also offer a monthly subscription membership with records being delivered to your home. There are multiple seating areas, which makes it a great gathering place for music aficionados to converge & converse about their love of music. On the day of my visit a special event was going on. Apparently, there is something almost every weekend. The DJ was spinning some great tunes, there was a food vendor, tattoo artist, a bar serving n/a beverages, and a gal selling vintage clothing. The music was fantastic and kept me there longer than I had anticipated. I enjoyed browsing through the records and checking out the cool gift items. They also carry a nice selection of non-alcoholic spirits, cold beverages, snacks, candles, & plants. *Metered parking lot in the back or street parking (metered & non.)

The place is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of vinyls to sort through. They had a neat provisions area. The event requested an RSVP for headcount. The staff were really friendly and answered my question about the event. There is a parking lot next door which was convenient. It was around $1.50 for 3 hours. I'll definitely be back and will be bringing my husband!

The place is split up into sections - the first includes the bar (with two bathrooms it should be noted!) There's bar seating but there's also booth seating on the side. And then there's ample room for what looks to be if any musicans want to perform so that was pretty cool. You make your way outside to a outside patio of sorts and then you can go down to see the record store and maybe an occassional food vendor if you're there on the right there. Its pretty sick! The drink menu is cut and dry but I'm not one to complain too much. The service was great and I loved the music they were playing. Huge bonus that because its such a hidden gem the parking is really not an issue (at least when I went). If I'm in the area again I'd come back!
