    A couple of fun finds!
    Steph H.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Fun little neighborhood record store. Happened to be walking by and decided to drop in for a quick peek. Had fun browsing through the vinyl selection and picked up a couple of Jean-Michel Jarre records on a whim. I noticed they had some apparel and books as well. Friendly young man working behind the counter. If you like browsing through used records looking for that certain something you didn't know you wanted, you've come to the right place.

    Very cool record store on Retro Row on the corner of 4th and Junipero. The employees are super friendly and knowledgeable especially if you're new to the vinyl life. They have a pretty good collection of music but if you're into Rnb, Soul, Funk.. there's not many options but I was able to find some cool deals. The prices are pretty average for a record store but it's understandable as many of their records are not new. There are $1 bins in the front of the store as well.

    The guy at the checkout was pretty nice. The items in the store are pretty well priced. Some CDs were hard to find and were cheaper than you would find at other specialty stores. A brand new cd was 5 dollars and on Amazon it is 19.91.

    Miss this place so much during COVID-19 quarantine... so I ordered shirts on 5/17/20 & received them 5/23/20 :)

    This is by far one of my favorite vinyl record shops across all of Los Angeles County. They are very careful about their record selections. The guys that I have seen working here are super friendly... it's always fun to pick their brains and learn about new (and by new I mean old ones that never came across my radar) records. During COVID-19 cabin fever quarantine, I had the desire to buy from my favorite shops. While Third Eye Records has a few items like memorabilia and t-shirts, they did not have any online record sales. So I purchased some shirts on May 18. Got a text from a staff member that there were out of one item. They offered a different colored shirt or a refund. I declined the refund. They shipped the shirts out along with a cool sticker. Can't wait to visit them again. PS - why is there not a vinyl record emoji for iPhone?

    So glad that I randomly stumbled upon this place. There was parking directly outside of the shops, it's metered parking. A great thing to note is if you're just doing a quick pop in the meter will give you 15 mins complimentary to park. I was greeted as I walked in. I love that this place is small and not overwhelming with the amount of records. Their music selection is super easy to navigate and very intentional. It was so easy for me to find what I was looking for and also this Frank Ocean unreleased gem that I bought! I'll be back

    I nice and well organized collection with reasonable prices and bargain bins for hunting for lost or new treasures. Always appreciate the new arrivals rack to quickly go through anything that has come in since the last visit.

    "Oh but now it's like electricity Every time our eyes meet Your resistance is weakening And pretty soon you will be My sweet baby" -The Parliaments I sang the above lyrics to every pretty record I spotted at Third Eye. I loved every bit of this well organized storefront. Gary did himself proud. This spot boasts just as many new releases as it does throwbacks. The band merchandise haul for sale wound up being sizable too. The bargain section of the store should not be underestimated either. I found a few sleeper hits there. Not going to share which ones, but I did find a disco record going for about $12 on discogs that Gary let me have for $1. The funk gems were comparable too. Plenty of Ohio Players and old James Brown King 45s up for grabs. I enjoyed my trip to and from the register too. Gary presents as an affable and thoughtful music store manager. We talked quite a bit about about oldies, dance hits, and the vinyl record industry. He listened to a few of my anecdotes, and he threw a few Third Eye stickers in my bag. I believe I affixed one or two to a mysterious location in the LBC area. Others will discover them and end up at The Third Eye!
