What the map tells us about record stores in Los Angeles
23 of the 53 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.
22 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.
2 of the shops are tagged as selling used vinyl — the dollar bins and used wall are where the real digging happens.
The Los Angeles record crawl
Making a day of it in Los Angeles? Work this order: K-Pop Republic on 708 West Las Tunas Drive, Sibylline Records on 15 South El Molino Avenue, Canterbury Records on 805 East Colorado Boulevard, Santa Monica Music Center, Johnny Thompson Music, LB Woodwinds on 4420 Village Road, Rockaway Records on 2395 Glendale Boulevard, and Family Affair Music of Monrovia on 510 South Myrtle Avenue. That's the record crawl in one sensible loop, no backtracking. 45 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Los Angeles
Digging in Los Angeles? A few habits pay off:
- Learn to spot reissues at K-Pop Republic. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
- Ask about the return policy at Sibylline Records. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
- Genre-hop. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
- Sleeves matter for value. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Los Angeles — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Los Angeles can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 53 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 53 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Record store listings for Los Angeles: 53 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
