I particularly like this record store more than Redwood because of the large variety of music genres. I saw how they had some of my dad's favorite bands like REM and carried older albums of my favorite artists. My boyfriend and I were able to score an old Lil Wayne album as well. Love the charm this place has and they are able to cater to everyone's kind of music. Still giving niche, but up to date as well!

What a great experience. I remember the days of vinyl records and I remember the CD store on 41st…read moreAve in Capitola. And I remember Tower Records elsewhere. Pretty good selection there and then. Tower had great selection too. Customer service: so so. Knowledge of staff there and then so so. But I don't think I've ever seen a selection of vinyl and CDs like the one at Streetlight on Pacific. And what a great crew! I was there to trade in my lifetime of Vinyl records and a few CDs as I downsize into old age, but when I got there, I was just astounded by the Customer Service and selection. Hats off to Mike. Highly recommended across the board.

Rare to see so many new-to-me international, jazz, prog and reggae records in one place. City pop, Afropop, Brazil, dub, ambient... killer 7 inch and cassette sections. Dozens of records for sale (that took me years to find scouring Bay Area and L.A. stores) and at some of the lowest prices. Easy to make a fine day trip of record shopping, with Redwood Records and Streetlight Records a few blocks away. Highly recommended.

Cool spot! Came here with a friend on Thursday morning. There is a huge selection of used vinyls…read moreand equipment. They also offer cassettes and some books. The vinyls were grouped by music genre. They were in better shape than the $2 piles. The $2 vinyls weren't sorted, so it was fun to see what was available. As we were paying, the owner said that he regularly rotates what's out. Would come back to browse again! I found out about this place when I had purchased a few vinyls over at Minasan in Japantown and was told they were sourced from here. There is a small parking lot in the front, which was empty at the time, otherwise there is street parking nearby. There is a middle school nearby so the streets might be busier when school gets out.

Another rewarding experience at Streetlight Records. My daughter said she gets the best deals here…read more Walked away with 2 vinyls and a bonus was she spotted some cool little button pins with her favorite artist. I think the records were only about $5 each. (The button was $2.98 lol). Don't be thrown off by the worn down strip mall it's located in. Another bonus is the Community Center and Bascom library is situated just next door (on the other side).

I initially came here excited and ready to spend money today with my family. I have a love for…read morerecords and have collected them for years. I came across this place on my visit to Monterey and decided I would go and check out the store. I went with my wife and three kids ages 7, 5 and 8 months old. I was carrying my 8 month old in her baby carrier. As I opened the door to the business, an older bearded man with long hair who worked behind the counter prevented my family from entering the store saying that the business was full and he did not want children in the store. He went on to say there was also water damage which is not my problem and completely unprofessional to tell a first time customer. The man was extremely rude and appeared bothered by me and my family. I responded by saying that I would take my business elsewhere and he slammed the door shut behind me like a child! Never have I experienced such a rude and disrespectful attitude from a business. My children asked why the man was so angry and I told them that it wasn't their fault and we would not support a business who treats people that way. I will never go here and will make sure all of my friends and family stay clear of this place. I come from a family with military and law enforcement backgrounds and this man made me and my family feel less than and unwelcome as first time customers! This was a bizarre and wild experience as a proud American to endure.
