What customers say

I've been coming here since it opened back in 98. It's a real vibe. Who knows how much I've spent at this place. And everyone that works there is so nice especially the dudes working in the back. And recently they've been getting a lot of really cool classic House and Trance anthems.

Perfection. The metal selection isn't huge but makes up for it in pure quality. Only record shop I've ever seen with archspire and atheist lp's. Also great funk, rap, and rock section as well. Great AFFORDABLE prices make it a go to spot for when ever im in the Santa Cruz area

This marvellous shop stocks 45s and that’s all I’m interested in. A friendly chap at the till took me to their selection personally where I found some great Elvis , girl group and doo wop 45s in very good shape at fair prices. I added The Cookies’ last Dimension 45 to my collection who are one of my favourites.

Best record, cd, dvd, posters, movies,TV shows, everything you could want, find really great deals in the bargain bins, incredible vinyl selection. Street lights been my favorite record and CD store forever. You can't go wrong here. Really knowledgeable staff. They seem to know the most obscure facts about music.
