Record Safari — Local services in Los Angeles

I have been going to new/used record stores since i was a little kid, since I first stepped into one, record stores have been a 2nd home. When I discovered Record Safari, I found an amazing gem tucked into L.A., the perfect record store. The name of of the store fits the lives of die hard collectors, a literal safari to find those ultimate wants and i have never left the store empty handed. From finding those releases to complete a bands discog to that unreal find that has eluded me for decades. And from the owner to the staff behind the counter, you will not find a more dedicated and knowledgeable group of people, if you have a question or want to talk music for a moment, they know what they are talking about. The store itself is a total dig, deep bins filled with rarities to the most common record across most of the genres. The owner is constantly buying collections so the store is never in a rut. So many stores today are sterile, do not possess the feel of a real record store but Record Safari is the total find for the ultimate dig. I gave 5 stars because I keep coming back and the store...

I’ve been to a lot of record stores around the country and overseas these past 45 years and I don’t know if I’ve ever spent as much money at one shop in such a short time as I have here. Always find something great here and just when I think I’m ready to cut my losses and pay up another great find catches my eye. The nicest people too, staff and customers. I’ve been handed off cool records other customers thought I should check out more than once. Staff is super helpful, always seem to know where that record I was trying to find is stashed in the bins. I also love that they have a listening station. Prices are very fair in my opinion. They are savvy, not many sleepers will get past them, but they price usually just below average prices elsewhere and usually everything is in great condition here. Another bonus is that they have some parking available too. I wish I lived closer but also maybe...

I LOVE records and Record Safari has PLENTY! Good finds at good prices... every used record I've bought here has been in great, near mint condition, I'm curious where they find them all in such great shape! Even if you just want to browse, go check out Record Safari. The staff is cool too, I had a lot to carry out, plus push my girl who's in a wheelchair, so one of the guys offered to help carry out my box of records, awesome dude! My girl found some great priced used cd's as well, she loves it as much as i do! If you're looking for a record you haven't found elsewhere, chances are pretty good that you'll find it here. And unlike other places, they have a restroom for customers as well... classy, Record Safari, thank you SO much! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You may not walk out empty-handed! Looking forward to going back...
