Los Angeles area record stores
What are some good record stores in LA and surrounding areas? So far I've been to Ameoba which kinda sucks for vinyl, and I've heard about Phusion Records. What else is good?
I think the best place in L.A. is Ameoba on Sunset near Cauhenga. Sometimes you can nab great tunes in the used section, otherwise new titles are spotty, but not bad.
Happy Hunting!

If your looking for big names, check virgin mega store and tower records, might able to pick up popular tunes.
I also know of Astro records in glendale and Backside in burbank, not too much EDM in general, but I have found some decent stuff while searching through the masses of hip-hop.

Eh, they do have a lot of stuff, but there's so much it's hard to find what you're looking for. I'd rather go to a smaller store with knowledgable staff and turntables to sample the tracks on. Quality over quantity...
Wow Montie, nice link...looks like im going for a quest now
