Shopping in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California…read more.. Somehow, I found free street parking on Hollywood Boulevard, almost right in front of Amoeba Music... It's an iconic place. I thought that I should look around inside... Wow... It has everything... jazz, top 40, soul, hip hop, ethnic music, CDs, vinyl, movies, used, new, merchandise, and more! I was truthfully overwhelmed. I will be back when I'm more focused and have more time! Note: Amoeba Music is also in San Francisco and Berkeley.

This place has great energy and if you are very articulate, they can also order items for me it was a specific 1994 Bedtime Stories Album with the image right side up. ( many were issued with an upside down front cover image back then ). They fully understood my obsession with this too and thats really cool. Some vinyl stores there is such a hierarchy of snobbery that I avoid them. Not Super Vinyl. They cool. Collaborate with both Gracie and/or Emily to get you exactly what you want for your vinyl collection.

All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Their records are priced fairly and they have a good selection to pick through. I did not end up getting anything today, but will definitely be back next time I am in the area to check them out again.

This is the friendliest place on earth! Especially for the novice collector. I would encourage…read moreanyone who is just starting their collection to go in and ask lots of questions. The owner seems interested in helping people learn about Jazz. He'll be more than happy to recommend some basic albums and engage in a loooooong conversation about music. What a guy! He let me know that he loved visiting with young out-of-towners. I felt nothing but respect emanating from this wonderful human being. I see lots of negative reviews going on and on about how he has dementia! Wow! That couldn't be further from the truth. This guy is a stellar human and needs to have his store full to the brim with people just starting their collections. Well done, sir. You're really something!

Much like most of these reviews, as a music lover, I was walking by and thought I'd try this shop!…read moreThe owner sitting at the front was so rude and pushy the second I walked in. This man ranted for 30 minutes about how my generation is directionless and went out of his way to point out things about ME (my clothes, hair, headphones) that he believed aligned with his opinions? He wouldn't let me get a word in, which he claimed was my fault, too. Incredibly bitter and insulting off the bat, I actually had to laugh. When I didn't buy anything, he told me to "Go f*ck yourself!" and "don't ever come back!"--which isn't a problem, considering his store will surely go under soon due to the lack of customers within the span of time I was there. Not sure why the owner takes his anger towards the new world out on young people, but it was the worst record store experience I have ever had. Shame, cause the skinny old man in the back was very kind and interesting. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!

Came here with my cousin looking for some classicl vinyl from back in the day. This place is the…read moreepitome of cool. And while we didn't find the particular albums that we were looking for, we were blown away by the sheer ambiance and amount of product they do possess. Being a child of the 70's and '80s, we could have looked through their collection for four or five hours easy since I think those were the greatest decades of music with artist who not only achieved legendary status, but even one hit wonders that what have you going back into time. In fact, we were joking with the staff that we easily could have opened and closed the place down by doing an entire day shift right alongside them! The place really blows you away from a 5 senses standpoint as well. The sights, sounds, and smells all hit you at once-and in here and on this occasion, that was a great thing. If you follow a little hallway it leads you into a completely different section into what seems like a another small universe or at least galaxy. Once on the other side of this hallway which leads you to another portion of the building entirely, your met with even more records and additional musical and odd treasures. To top it off, a bar with alcohol awaits you! Lol You can't make this place up! Bottom line here folks is this is a really cool, cool place-especially for those who love classic music, a good beer, and the idea of hunting for what you want. I'd highly recommend this place....just be prepared to put in some serious time for research and for your senses to be able to take it all in.

I walk in and it's such a cool vibe! This is a bookstore that carries all the Hollywood legends memoirs.

The place felt very inviting and well lit. Although it's a small boutique type, it's still was very full with amazing content and a large variety. The prices are about the same as any other book store as well. I will definitely be back!
