    Hanging out at Skoolyard 2nd anniversary party!

    This is an AWESOME record store! Ridiculously good selection of hip hop/rap/funk/soul and waaaaaay more. I found old records/cassettes (yes,cassettes, yay) I can't find many other places. I don't know how many people know of this place but it is for sure one of my new favorite haunts and places to shop for hard to find music. Oh, the owner (Riz) and staff are super chill, no pretense here!!! I cannot say enough good things about this joint!

    See all

    Pretty much one of the worst record stores I've ever been in. Overpriced and under stocked sums it up. Don't bother, it's a waste of time.

    If you just want to browse, this place is probably fine. But if you want to interact with business people, go somewhere else.

    You spin me right round, baby, right round Like a record,…read morebaby, right round, round, round by Dead or Alive Spin Records is one of our better record shops in North County San Diego. Old school, but old and new music is available and if you are looking for something, they may hold it or order it for you. For those of us who grew up in the 80's and 90's, we saw vinyl die and come alive again. It is still my preference for music at home and it is an extra plus if the lp also had the downloadable device option. Every year I attempt to head out to Record Store Day (RSD). My goal is to pick up unique items that have never been released, but more than anything, those 80's and 90's albums that were only made on CD. After a three hour wait in line this year, with only 380 different releases and only 3000 stores in the country with offerings, I came home with everything on my list, but one item out of stock. A total win. Five stars for variety and good set up outside to make shopping effiient. My only suggestion is to get a couple food trucks and dj or live music in the parking lot, playing something chill. #SpinRecords #Carlsbad #RSD #FortheWin

    There are quite a few indie records stores in OC, but Moldy Toes is easily my favorite! I've been…read moregoing there for years, and since day one it has always been a pleasant experience. Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful. And just like any great record store, the staff always has amazing recommendations for new music to check out. The store is just the right size to not be overwhelming, everything is well organized, and there is enough room in the bins to make it easy to flip through the records. 10 out 0f 10 for shoppability. In addition to a great new and used vinyl selection, they also carry cd's, cassettes, turntables, speakers, stickers, action figures, t-shirts and more. If you're into music, then you'll definitely find something you need at Moldy Toes. And on the off chance that you don't find something you want, there are lots of other cool little shops to check out in the neighborhood.

Inside, they have a good amount of records to dig through with all different genres. The records are organized nicely and prices are fair. All of the staff here are also very friendly and helpful. I ended up leaving with the newest Not For Radio and KPop Demon Hunters vinyls to add to my collection. Definitely stop by and support their shop if you are ever in the area!

    First time purchasing a few Records from Vinyl Junkies…read more. Had them shipped to Iowa, Great price & they shipped them in a mighty mailer for extra protection and they arrived in great condition within a reasonable timeframe.. However incurred a minor issue at no fault to the store, inner sleeves were missing, this was a known issue from the record producer on this particular release, worked with Jules at Vinyl Junkies and she worked diligently with their supplier to make things right, took a bit but she got it done and shipped them right away free of charge and in perfect condition.. If you're looking for great service on your next vinyl purchase look no further, these guys and gals are great and they stand by what they sell.. Thanks Vinyl Junkies! & Thank you Jules for completing my album's.. ~ Jason

    This is a small and funky vinyl shop with a fair amount of used CDs. In fact, they have more used…read moreCDs here than just about anywhere else I have ever seen, other than at Amoeba in Los Angeles. They also have old cassette tapes, too, if you are a weirdo and a masochist. There are three rooms to explore and a little courtyard in between them all. I have to believe this space was a coffee house or something like that in a different life. The vinyl record collection is the emphasis, as it should be, and it is well-organized. There is some organization to some of the CDs but many of them are just stacked here and there. That is ok. If you are a musical dinosaur like some of us, some of the fun is in the hunt itself. The only drag is parking. Street parking is your only option and it is rough. The good news is there are some cool other shops in this area to explore, like books, beer, food, etc. Well worth a visit for music fans.

    When I enter a record store I look for two things right away. One is engagement from the owner or…read moreemployee that happens to be working that day. Second is organization. I have been crate digging for over 15 years and I am starting to appreciate organization more and more! Feelit Records was suggested to me from a DJ homie in Chicago as "A MUST" to visit! When the day came for me to visit, Owner Mark was working that day and immediately introduced himself and offered up suggestions and how to navigate the layout of the store. Mark is SUPER knowledgeable about music and has a passion to serve his customers. His store is cozy, warm and welcoming. I have got to experience some cool events hosted at his store. A local skratch crew hosts cutting sessions outside the store on the sidewalk!! No matter your skill, you can come up meet new people and start scratching! MIND-BLOWN!! Second cool experience is Record Store Day 2019. I was first in line because i was THIRSTY to get my hands on a copy of The Crow Soundtrack. This album has been a Holy Grail of mine and I now have a chance to score a copy. As the line grew longer and longer, and Mark was getting close to open up. Instead of a stampede of people trying to rush the store, he came outside and asked everyone in line what they are looking for. MIND-BLOWN #2 Genius idea and what a way to serve your customers with a unique experience. If you are ever in San Diego, or a local you need to visit Mark and Feelit Records!! You will not be dissapointed.

    The moment I walked in here I was mesmerized, this place is covered in all kinds of music. Although…read morethe place is small, it has everything a vinyl lover can ask for. The selection is very good and the man working there was very nice and helpful, the price range is really depending on what record you want, but from what I found, it was an excellent price. There are cheaper bins of records so that is convenient too. Would definitely recommend for any music fan in all kinds of genres
