Finally, if you haven't already done so, please read the Vinyl Tourist's Caveat . In Wax 4741 North Central Ave. This unpretentious store, with the dancing mice painted on the window, is a record collector's dream. Filled almost entirely with vintage vinyl, this is the place to go for just about every category. The store is especially strong in soundtracks, comedy, Jazz, pop vocalists, and older rock.
Condition varies, but the price is usually right.
Very strong in 45's, too. Stinkweeds is a roomy store with rows of new LP's and 45's as well as CD's and cassettes. With the exception of re-issues of classical and other vintage albums, they appear to stock virtually every new LP and 45 currently in print. Of course, this means their strength is in techno, house, new wave, etc. We picked-up new wax by El Vez, the Trashwomen, and Dick Dale plus a CD of the Shallow Grave soundtrack, featuring Leftfield.
