Studio Records @studioantiques - El Segundo, California

This place could be the library of congress of vinyl records. I have never seen so much vinyl. Boxes and boxes. A dwarves mine of music. I went here to look for a common, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young album. Used vinyl record. They wanted $30 for it. They should be giving this music away. They look up the value of the record so don’t expect any deals. Even if it’s your wedding album. It feels like it’s being hoarded. It has the vibe of an estate sale if that is what you’re looking for but I left not feeling welcome. Folks are friendly.

wonderful assortment of items from all areas of collecting and antiques , record assortments range all across all years and genres , for several hard to find albums I was looking for, and they even ship them home for you if you are just visiting the areas such as I was. Know Laurence and Sally from the old Baggage Battle days , when I met them at several different film locations of the show . Wonderful people and very knowledgeable in many areas of Antiques and collecting . I would fly in to LA again just to see what new things they have acquired. will look forward to going again in the near future. It really is a must see location . Make sure to explore all areas , including the back outdoor "Ghost Town " area .

My kind of shop. Very friendly and hospitable owners, young knowledgeable staff, lots n lots of records, and a cat. I found many more records, but the price was too “right” for them, so I had to pass. I think my thousands of records in Japan must be worth a lot of money. 🧐 Too bad England couldn’t proceed at FIFA World Cup. They will next time!

If there’s a place in LA with more first print and actually vintage records for sale, I haven’t found it! In fact, I’ve never seen a more extensive selection of records to buy in any store I’ve ever been in. This is THE PLACE to buy vinyl if you’re a collector - either pro or hobbyist. It might take some time searching and the store is probably not perfectly suited to those who have any phobia of tight spaces, but that being said it’s a must for vinyl enthusiasts. They also have record players and sound systems for sale, not just records. There are also tons of clothes, home goods, antiques and vintage finds of all kinds. There’s a whole backlot that’s hard to describe. You just have to see it to believe it! Unusual is a great word. Owners Sally and Laurence are so fun to chat with, just so nice and friendly; and they’re great with their prices. I loved the cat! I also appreciated that they’ll take basically any form of payment and are hip with Venmo and PayPal if you need that. Hope they stay around. What a fun spot!

A true destination shopping experience. Nooks and crannies and alcoves and boxes stacked everywhere for your perusal. It feels like when you shop here there's no telling what you might actually find.

Sally and her husband were very helpful and very kind and caring. They were very fair when they purchased my records. If you are looking for a place to sell records don’t look no further. This is the place to go. It was a great experience and the employees were also very helpful as well! 5 stars!!

This place has the coolest vibe and a stellar collection. I could literally spend all day in here. It’s a must go place any time I’m in El Segundo.

This is a “store within a store” (or, just the same place with two names?).

Guy working there said “we started as an antique store and now sell more vinyl albums than anything else in the store.”

Therefore, a LOT of vinyl for sale. And then some bric-a-brac, and some Hollywood type memorabilia.

Good selection- helpful staff. May be a bit claustrophobic for some (tight spaces). You’ve got to like to dig around to find stuff.
