What customers say

Great store for vinyl and Everything in between. And they have a sign in front that indicates that they are not fond of racists and fascists.

Pretty amazing seeing Laguna Beach piece of history! Wave and Travis were super helpful and kind. Fascinating learning about the history. Eclectic genres to choose from (from CDs to vinyls) and plenty of memorabilia to sift through. Parking in the back! Keep Laguna's history in tact! This place is a gem!

I went in thinking they wouldnt have any of the artists I listen to but they did and it made me so excited to see! They have records from Car Seat Headrest, Glass Animals, King Gizzard, Cage the Elephant and many more.

Hole in the wall used record shop. Large assortment of quality band t-shirts. I always buy one when I'm in the area. Owner is super nice and friendly.
