I just got back yesterday from a week in LA. Aided by Lazlo's Guide to LA
Record Shopping and Tamara Palmer, I found my way to just about all of
the major shops. My personal findings: Arons was the place to go for new
music. I bought plenty of new vinyl there including a couple of LP's on
Rather Interesting, the Funkjazztical Tricknology comp on Ninja Tune and an
EP on Skam (though my prize find was Coldcut's "Whats That Noise?" in one of
the used bins for 99cents). The other place I thought was definately worth a
visit was Record Surplus in West LA - tons and tons of used vinyl all priced
at 97c. Interesting finds there included the Switched-On Bach record and
Wildplanet's Electron EP on Warp. The specialty shops (Beat Non Stop,
Streetsound, etc) were all very dissapointing.
