One other great aspect to the store is the location: there's parking, it's near the highway (I-5), and it's in Atwater, central to most of LA and full of great food and other destinations worth your time, too. Highest recommendation!

I used to frequent this store on a regular basis to sell CD's and pick up something cool. It was such a great store with lots of vinyl, CDs, cassette tapes, and music memorabilia. I was surprised to see that it moved from its large store front to a small space around the corner and entrance is by appointment only. However, you can shop online and browse the diverse collection of rare and mint condition pieces at your leisure. No doubt you'll find some coveted pieces like an autographed Nine Inch Nails guitar for $1,750.00.

They called me to let me know that they would ship my order out with no trouble and I received it the next day, instead of me having to wait 3 days to go back in-store for a late pick up. Amazing customer service and well-appreciated. In general, very great environment and I always walk out with more than I need and that's because the place is a treasure cove - if I could I would spend hours there. All the staff work really hard to make sure I am able to get what I need when available or make great suggestions that always appeal to what I'm looking for. Always a joy to visit! Thanks Cobraside!

That analog sound is so warm & cozy to the soul. I remember interviewing a band called Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I think of them every time I pass this store.

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.

I've barely begun to dip my toe into deep appreciation of physical music mediums, and accompanied my wife here on her birthday search for a few specific vinyls and CDs. My search was narrow, hoping for a Odesza vinyl. I found two vinyls from the A Moment Apart album I was in search for with one being a used copy in a deep sea foam color while the other was a clear vinyl. Because I knew nothing about vinyls, I went to the front desk where Kelly took the time to show me how; 1) properly remove vinyls from their sleeve, 2) the direction to clean vinyls using a microfiber cloth, 3) check downs to go through when inspecting a used vinyl, and 4) in why's behind inspecting vinyls the way she recommended. In taking the time to show me how to check 3 separate clearance vinyls, I felt even more stoked about my Odesza used vinyl find as it was fun colored vinyl not yet in our collection and in beautiful condition. Kelly - thank you for not being a gatekeeper. You rock!

It's located right across the street from the Metro B Line, so take the transit for super convenience! Walking in, there is security staff that's there that will do a bag check. They also do this when you're leaving the store. The store itself is a nice warehouse of everything you're looking for: music, movies, and merchandise like t-shirts, buttons, even some CD players (not top of the line, but they have them!). Everything is organized at this location - with lots of staff on the floor, restocking and organizing the racks. They have a good selection of everything, but also they don't have everything. I didn't find what I was looking for at my last visit, but it was still nice to browse through the store. They also seem to carry a lot of brand new CDs here. Amoeba's a cool shop if you've never been to one before. It's one of the remaining larger physical music shops left that have tons of music CDs, records, and other awesomeness.

This organization made groove inspection really easy and I am a huge fan of the attention to detail and consistency throughout the shop.

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.
