oh the rec col. schmuck!
rhino is moving things around, so call before flying.
record surplusYESSSSSSSS! plenty of categorized, and alphsbetized reg priced LPs ($2-40-$50 and up). then theres the upstairs!! a buck a disc. categorized not alphabetized.
a week after your visiit , the stock will be different in the $1 racks. amazing.
arons- a big disappointment for one who has traded there for a long time. much fewer vinyl, tho there are new releases that youre either willing to pay for or not (widely varying prices).
eastside records on hillhurst in the los feliz area is a good resource, used to have MUCH MORE vinyl. what you see illl be in good cond, bill doesnt buy crap.
rockaway is still there in silver lake. interior is MUCH smaller due to subdividing into rentable spaces. still a good asource for LP. reg price stuff is overpriced. there ar $1 records worth fingering thru. used cd prices are pretty good as is the selection. ive gotten some important CDs here, and im a vinyl fan!
hope ive been a help.
never bought anything there, id have to really need it. he sits there in the unorganized place and if you shows interest in anything, you can hear the cash register wheels in his head and mouth. as i remeber, the prices were ludicrous at low end and i didnt bother to ask about the wantables.
record surplus is THE store to hit, it changes often enuf to go more than once a week. my doubtful friend was a convert in two visits!

gordy, rockaway is still there and they have vinyl. their 'priced' vinyl is too pricey and i stopped looking in it. they have $1 vinyl that has gems but a lot of chaff. their used cd pile is worth going thru, prices are right and it is dynamic, that is it turns over fairly frequently. ive gotten some good really good titles out of that pile.
