    Dear You - Jawbreaker- 1995. I been looking for this for about 2 years and found it at Streetlight. :^)

    I have been shopping in store since I was a teenager, I am stoked they're open for business! I usually browse 12' new and used currently found 2 records I had been looking for and found them on the same day! Helpful staff and overall give yourself some time to browse and enjoy the time! Thank you very much! Enso forever. Good deals on used vinyl. Friendly. Small parking lot.

    After my great first experience here, I've been coming to Streetlight more often. They have a great range of new and used vinyl,cd, cassettes, and movies. At awesome prices that go to a small business :) All the staff are so knowledgeable, and have awesome recommendations!! Their Harry Styles, KATTDO listening party was amazing!! So glad I was able to go and get a button! Love love love Streetlight Records, can't recommend this place enough!

    Good selection of vinyls inside! My partner and I always come here to expand our ever-growing vinyl collection :)

    I honestly feel bad that I completely forget that Streetlight is literally less than a mile from my house but it is 100% a hidden gem! I came here to sell some cds,dvds and vinyl. While I waited I browsed around and they have a lot of really good stuff. Majority of it is CDs but they also have some Vinyl, DVDs/BluRay and even stickers! I saw A LOT of things I had to walk away from because I had come to take home some money not spend it. Now I normally take item to Rasputin to sell and they always take everything but a small take home. Here is the opposite, they pay more but take a lot less so it's a give and take so to speak but the associates were super nice and I'll definitely be back again but this time to shop!

    Revisited Streetlight recently for their listening party of the new Pinhead Gunpowder album, "Unt." It was my first time going to a listening party and I really enjoyed it! On top of buying the new Unt record, I also ended up buying another vinyl I found. They gave everyone a free album poster with some aunt freebies as well. At the end, they also raffled away Pinhead Gunpowder signed merch/records (sadly I did not win haha). Hope to come back for another listening party in the future!

    Customer service was decent, but if you're hoping to make a lot of money from your items, this isn't the place. I received less than a dollar per DVD, even though they sell large volumes of DVDs, CDs, and vinyl.

    My son recently got into vinyl records. This is the first place I thought of to check out now my son can't wait to come back they have reasonable prices Great selections. Place is clean and organized. Staff was kind and helpful told us about upcoming events. Definitely plan on making this our go to place.

    Wow! I never knew this place existed. My friend introduced me to this place as he wanted to look at their vinyl records. It's in the middle of the industrial era on Bascom, and it's not hard to miss! They have convenient parking next to the venue. The moment you walk in- it's bright lit store with aisles and aisles of music merchandise from CDs, albums, DVDs, and more. I'm definitely returning since they buy used DVDs and CDs. It was fun to explore the store from seeing different music genres from jazz to kpop, movie classics, and anime as well. Awesome hidden gem in the San Jose area that's keeping music culture alive and well.

    Justin S.

    Pretty cool hidden gem place if you want to feel vintage all over again! They literally have everything media from old video games, dvd movies, vhs movies , blu ray movies, cassette tapes , vinyl records and more. Definitely better pricing than your Barnes and nobles or Best Buy Forsure.. This place also buy exchange, never tried but maybe I will one day!

He said it would be ready in a few weeks, after the new year, and took my contact into. Never heard back. Called the store after the first month came and went. No answer. Months go by and my kid keeps asking about it. I keep calling the location but then I read on their instagram that the shop is permanently closed. But they they're still doing business online. So I reach out to their instagram and email the address on their Shopify, where in fact they are now selling a metallic blue DS, just like the one I bought in December! Still no reply. Hope to hear back now that I'm posting about this problem.

    This bookstore is awesome!! I can't believe I've never been here until now, though I have visited…read morethe Campbell location. First off, I love the political signs posted on the windows, like the "everyone is welcome here except ICE". When I walked in, the store looked exactly like what I've always envisioned a cozy community bookstore to be like--filled to the brim with books and with a lot of character. I came here to sell some books and it was pretty quick--I had probably 20-25 books and the employee finished in less than 10 minutes. As I was waiting for my books, I walked around exploring. I was very impressed with the selection of fiction. There were actually quite a bit of new releases, but also older books and editions that I would likely not find at a corporate bookstore. If I had the time, I'd love to spend 1-2 hours here just browsing. I didn't expect to get much money for my books; I was actually going to donate them and didn't realize that they still buy books, so their offer was ok. I was moreso pleasantly surprised that the employee was so nice lol, and also a little chatty. Honestly the last time I sold books was probably 15-20+ years ago at Half Price Books and I remember they were always pretty rude/standoffish lol. In addition to the service, the atmosphere, and the book selection, the cherry on top for me was that they have a special shelf where you can buy a book there for 50% off for them to donate to the library at Elmwood Correctional Facility at a bit of a loss for the store. I used most of my credit from the books to get a Stephen King book for the library.

    I've been visiting this bookstore for over 20 years and I definitely have a love/hate relationship…read morewith this bookstore lol. The Bad: The staff can occasionally come across as a bit unwelcoming, and I personally wish the storefront atmosphere stayed more focused on books and less on outside messaging. They sometimes price popular or trending used books higher than what you'd pay for a brand-new copy elsewhere. The Good: I absolutely love the character of this bookstore. Shelves packed floor to ceiling, creaky wooden floors, stacks of books everywhere, and even a cat roaming around the store it feels like something straight out of a fantasy novel. I've visited countless bookstores, and nothing beats the old vintage feel of this place. They have a great selection of beautiful leather-bound books, plus an excellent fantasy and sci-fi section. I especially love when they put books out in under $6! The prices at this location are better, and this store feels much more like a classic old bookstore. The Campbell location feels more like a modern bookstore, and the prices there can sometimes be higher. At the end of the day, this place is a San Jose landmark and everyone should visit it at least once. Even when I disagree with certain aspects of it, I still keep coming back because it's nostalgic.
