What customers say

Sick record shop, the workers were hella chill and we're playing some dope records while we browsed. Found a Skrillex cd I've been thinking about getting for a while now. Idk if I'll be back since I'm from long beach and was just visiting on the way back from San Fran, but I definitely recommend this shop.

I absolutely love this vinyl shop. It's probably the best in the South Bay. Great selection of records from every genre and country imaginable, organized impeccably according to year, etc. A collectibles section is particularly rewarding to browse.

While this is my favorite place to go and purchase records and everything has been perfect, there is one small problem that you do have to look out for. Sometimes the album covers are ripped or have damaged corners from being dropped despite being stated new.

★★★★☆ — Legoman, 2024-06

Great record shop. I had a little time while visiting San Jose before a flight and I stopped by because, well, records. The selection was great - different from what I see in Southern California as it should be. All genres were represented. The jazz collection was strong as well as Rock.
