This organization made groove inspection really easy and I am a huge fan of the attention to detail and consistency throughout the shop. The alphabetical sorting was accurate and the soul section was well-stocked. Most of the records were priced fairly and I found a lot of records I have been searching for a long time. I bought out all the Blue Magic albums they had at the time and was able to find several ones that are not available on Spotify or Apple Music. My only comment is that I wish the used hip-hop section had less singles and more complete albums at reasonable prices. I will definitely return next time I'm in LA. Still searching for Stylistics and Delfonics records.

That's an actual review here, and I've seen similar rants on multiple record stores' pages. Are you people serious? How did you make it this far in life? How bout you just go out into the world and have a look yourself? Why do you need everything to be done for you? Jesus man, buy a clue. Anyway, this place is great. Fair prices, wide selection, really nice staff. (My only complaint is that they wouldn't leave the line of people at the register and tie my shoes for me. I lost my mommy and now my shoesies are untied and I don't know how to feed myself.)

One other great aspect to the store is the location: there's parking, it's near the highway (I-5), and it's in Atwater, central to most of LA and full of great food and other destinations worth your time, too. Highest recommendation!

For some reason the person on the phone was frustrated pretty quick. Once inside, the space was clean and spacious, but no music playing. Unfortunately, the selection felt pretty limited and not fully stocked, so there wasn't much to dig through this time. Cool shop overall, just not the vibe for me on this day.

I used to frequent this store on a regular basis to sell CD's and pick up something cool. It was such a great store with lots of vinyl, CDs, cassette tapes, and music memorabilia. I was surprised to see that it moved from its large store front to a small space around the corner and entrance is by appointment only. However, you can shop online and browse the diverse collection of rare and mint condition pieces at your leisure. No doubt you'll find some coveted pieces like an autographed Nine Inch Nails guitar for $1,750.00.

UPDATE OF MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: After what started out to be a positive experience, I'm left with a…read morevery negative feeling about this place. IN A LARGE NUTSHELL: I originally called to see if ATRT carried a specific pressing of an artist/album and they did. I purchased that album plus four others. Played all of the albums BUT the specific album I needed - which was the most expensive - was literally unplayable. Contacted owner Kevin and he started making up store policies: claimed the invoice states it allows for only a 50% refund (it doesn't); then stated while he wouldn't refund me, he would try to locate another copy of the album which would probably have a later pressing/label & that I needed to be okay with that since it contained all of the same songs as the original pressing. (I wanted the original release, I paid for the original release, I expected the original release - not a later reissue on a different label - this shouldn't be difficult for any collector to comprehend.) Kevin attempted to bully me by repeatedly cutting me off with his confrontational, condescending, argumentative and arrogant tone which, honestly, was shocking, to say the least. Eventually he admitted he doesn't listen to the albums while simultaneously claiming them to be in great condition - after much back and forth, he finally agreed to reimburse me for the defective album. (It's as though he's great to talk to if you agree with everything he says but if he feels challenged, he takes it as a threat?????) I understand not being able to listen to thousands of albums to check their usability but if they don't work & he doesn't want to provide an in-store opportunity for customers to test them, do the honest thing. Also, post your lack-of-return-policy-of-the-moment so customers know in advance what they're settling for - NOTE: they have you sign the receipt after paying AND keep talking to you while signing so you simply think you're signing for receipt of merchandise - if there's a no-return clause or a partial refund clause, you won't know that. As I stated to Kevin over the phone, I'm not mad or angry about the hostile way he treated me, I'm actually sad - what could have been a pretty darn good experience with a local small business turned out to be a pretty awful one. MY MISTAKE - I should have read other reviews BEFORE visiting because there are wildly differing opinions on this place and all seem legit - the good and the bad. My first review was great and as you can see, that soured pretty frickin' quickly. It doesn't take much to be decent and honest - especially if you'd like to keep customers who are happy to share their experiences with others.
