The rock section proved an eclectic affair... with pop artists like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter tucked in among the records and no dedicated Pop section in sight. When we inquired about used vintage players, one staff member simply pointed us toward Best Buy down the street, ending the conversation there. Despite these quirks, I did find a vinyl I'd been hoping for, and my friend also made a purchase. It's a three-star experience.

When we went to check the movie section a store employee was sweeping around customers in that area. My husband went to look at movies and he called him out, insulting him as "oblivious". The employee was too concerned about some in store concert, moved things around. But not about getting business from customers. Rude customer service! Well, that's why folks shop online. Who needs this crap? You go through difficulties to come and support a local record store and that's what you get. No respect! On top, not enough merchandise, poor selection. Dusty. We left what merchandise we were planning on getting and left. To never return! Stay away!

I went down there on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, and right in front was a homeless man and a pile of what was very likely human shit smeared on the sidewalk lol. Now, I know this isn't necessarily a fault of the comic shop itself, and I do sympathize for the city's unhoused population, but having that being my first impression of their new location was kind of jarring. Never encountered this issue at the old location. I do plan to visit again though, and maybe next time can have a more pleasant experience and give the full five stars.

My friends and I were in the area for lunch and were strolling to a crepe place when we crossed paths with We Share Records. It's in a quaint shop with a ton of amazing records categorized and easy to navigate. I left my husband momentarily and the next time I saw him he was holding 3 new records for add to our collection. He mentioned the shop clerk (or owner) was very helpful when he inquired about different records and asked for recommendations.

The Bottom Line: 4.5 stars: A nice eclectic used record store specializing in Japanese vinyl. Wish…read morethey had a larger collection! Location 4 stars: In the busy Sawtelle area. It fits right in with the many great Asian restaurants and Japanese novelty shops. Parking can be a challenge. There are limited metered parking spots on the streets and many paid parking garages nearby which I would recommend. Parking on residential streets is at your risk only as they have complex rules about when the parking is allowed and when it requires a resident permit. You may get a ticket worth several trips to paid parking garage :D Venue 4.5 stars: Small store. Very clean and organized, Mostly used vinyl from Japan, in good clean condition. $1 bin at the front. Service 5 stars: Polite and friendly staff. Selection 4 stars: Wish they had a bigger collection! Prices 4.5 stars: Reasonable in this world of inflated used vinyl prices.
