    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!

This place has loads and I mean loads of fun hidden jewels. There's so much items in stock that you literally have to spend some time here. You will literally want everything that you see. The selection of clothing from all sorts of era. You have fun theme items which theres loads. Of course they can be a daily wear item. The vintage collection is top notch. All the decors throughout the stores are fun. Vintage mannequin heads, the dressing rooms doors made of old vintage refrigerator doors, they were great. There's a huge selection of vintage jewelry on displays as well as loads of fun sunglasses. Beside the clothes, the vintage signs which I assume are display were fun. Now that'll be great for home decor. Not sure if they're for sale though. Basically this is another gem along the art district that worth a wander. So much amazing and fun pieces.

The minus is that it is hard to…read moreshop because the racks are jam packed too tight and I hate that because when you try to pull one thing out five other things come jumping off the rack. The other negative is that they are a bit over priced for what they have so I ended up not purchasing anything here. The decor is cool and I do suggest people stop in to see if there is something they might like.

It's so much bigger inside and filled with epic treasures from vintage dishes to beautiful furniture pieces.

My quick "I'll just check it out," turned into an hour of thrifter heaven and a few beautiful pieces that now grace the walls and shelves of my home. Prices are fair, depending on vendor; their merchandise is good to high quality. They also played awesome 80's music to enhance your shopping pleasure :) I forgot to snap pics because I was too overwhelmed with excitement, but added a shot of my favorite piece on my wall.

I find it very difficult to even compare this business with its previous location, as they are such vastly different establishments. The previous location, house just off of PCH in Long Beach, was this vast warehouse style structure with an outdoor area that also had tons and tons of stuff for sale. It was a true destination. A new experienced every time you went inside. A couple of months ago, they let all of their customers know that they were going to be moving pretty soon. Thus, this move was fully expected. I was truly happy to hear when they opened up this new location. And, of course, I went for their opening weekend. The store, is vastly different from their original location. Located in a strip mall, it's simply a retail structure. There's no great feeling of arrival when you walk inside. It's just there. Don't get me wrong, this store is filled with tons and tons of great items, just like the previous location offered. It's just that it doesn't have the vibe that this store once possessed. Meaning, when you come shopping here, it's a completely different experience. Basically, they have a lot of stuff in cabinets, hanging up, literally all over the place. And, many of their previous sellers have relocated to this new location. So, in terms of shopping, what you will find is similar, though not exact to the previous location. Missing, however, is their whole outdoor industrial area filled with all kinds of stuff, including gigantic business signs and memorabilia. Please be aware, this review is geared towards both the fans of the previous location, and those who have just discovered this shop. Once here, you're gonna find all kinds of stuff. The prices are reasonable. And ,it's one of those location that you truly never know what you will encounter. Making shopping here a great experience. In terms of parking, they have a central lot to the strip mall. So, it shouldn't be too hard to find a spot. In terms of where they're currently located, this is a little bit off the beaten path of Long Beach. As stated, they used to be located just off of PCH, so it was super easy to get to and find. For this new location, you may have to GPS it. This being said, it still remains a great location to find that something you never knew you needed and/or that perfect gift for that person who loves the unusual.
