Awesome store. Nostalgic vibe with a wide variety of vinyl and vintage music and art to choose from. Plus its right on Laguna Beach. Surrounded by a bunch of cool little shops and food places. Will definitely be going back

I went in thinking they wouldnt have any of the artists I listen to but they did and it made me so excited to see! They have records from Car Seat Headrest, Glass Animals, King Gizzard, Cage the Elephant and many more. I got so excited when I saw they had what I listen to the guy there told me he would give me a discount just for my enthusiasm. He also let me and my friend have a free button. Highly recommend this place the owner is super cool dude.

A great way to lose an hour. I stopped in looking for a gift and quickly found myself looking through albums and shirts forgetting what Id stopped in for. They have a great selection and a fun location. Its definitely worth your time to stop in. Their prices are great too. I look forward to dropping in again the next time I get through. Whether your looking for a gift, or just a fan of music this is a must stop shop.

Wave is the man! So much fun to learn about music from a true legend of Laguna Beach. I love the shirt selection, so much so I buy strangers their favorite bands shirt. They have an amazing record collection, now all I need is a record player. Love you guys ️ and I hope you keep this Laguna Beach staple around of generations to come. Grateful for your knowledgeable staff and keeping music alive and well! Until we meet again.

Great guys run this place. They have the BEST vinyl in the area, in my opinion. Youll definitely find what youre looking for here. And on top of going through endless amounts of records! Its across the street from the beach!!! What more can you want?!

Its nice there is a separate section for used and new vinyls, but most of the used are overpriced and not in good condition. There are some really awesome band shirts in the back though.

Met the owner a couple years ago, one of the coolest hippies Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. He turned me yto some awesome reggae, The Easy Star All Stars, Dub side of the moon. Just great. All kinds of hard to find memorabilia. Small place with lots of great stuff.

Cool little record shop. A little bit of everything. I wondered in and found a record I needed for my collection at a fair price. I priced some of the other ones there and they were also a good deal. Staff was very friendly and I will definitely be back next time we are at Laguna.

Wave/wade (couldn’t catch his name I think it’s wave) is such a sweetheart! He talked to me on the phone for 30 mins helping me figure out how to use my turntable cause it’s my first one! So happy to start listening to some good tunes, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out how to use it without him. Thanks!

Awesome store- its one of the few unique gems of Laguna Beach that brings back the old school psychedelic vibe of how the town used to be. Definitely stop by this spot.

We had so much fun here. This shop is a must see. If you are into vinyl records, this is the place to come. We found some really awesome things to buy for gifts and ourselves. Thank you Wave for a great time. Remember us? We told you about the Steve Allen show when Frank Zappa was a guest. Hope you catch it. See you next time we are in Laguna!

Both gentlemen working were friendly, funny and very helpful. They know their inventory very well! If they dont have what you want, they can get it in two days! Greg, helped me and held my CDs, so I could go meet a friend for dinner.

Good selection, but expect to over pay. When I went, they had doubles of vinyl below, so I looked there first expecting lower prices. But and album I expected to be around $5 or less came out to be $14, the same as one in mint condition. And this was worth around $3. Cover ripped, scratches on record. Kind of killed the fun of finding a record you really like. And not to mention this was on record store day, no deals... This place sucks
