Your videos are always better when I’m featured in them.

Three record stores in the San Fernando Valley that you missed are CD Trader in Tarzana, California, the Midnight Hour Records, in San Fernando, California, and Deadly Wax, in Chatsworth, California

Just subbed!!! What a channel, what a channel! You are simply the best all things vinyl conversationalist on KZfaq. What a joy to watch and listen to you share your thoughts on a wide array of genres and topics. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talent - Mark

I was at record parlour on Selma right off of Hollywood Blvd..just the other day and wow the selecti9n for me was mind blowing…good dude and stays open late,ask to see the stage room

19:14 Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze About 8 years ago, I went to LA. Shopped Atomic. Bought one of their awesome retro graphic tshirts and a mint first press of Ghost In the Machine.

Glad you had fun in LA. I lived very close to Atomic - "Chatty, friendly, helpful" is not how I'd describe the owners. I once asked if they had any John Fahey records, the guy simply said "yes". I followed up with "Great, what section could I find them in?" Responded glibly "in the John Fahey section...". Freakbeat, on the other hand, I love. I always walk out of there with something I'd never thought I'd find in the wild.

I have a NM 12" OG Joe Jackson Look Sharp, and the sonics are awesome on it too. In fact, all the Joe Jackson vinyl I have are extremely well mastered.

Based on your solid endorsement of the Joe Jackson Look Sharp! 2x 10" LPs, I tracked one down off Discogs. As with every other specific pressing I have hunted down after your thorough reviews, I was stunned and amazed how good in this case how good a 1979 A&M pressing can sound 45 years later. I love your passion for the hobby and the outlet making videos allows to share your knowledge and experience with fellow enthusiasts. If you are talking about a title I have a remote interest in acquiring, in my book the research has been done and all I have to do is simply pull the trigger on purchase.

You didn’t go to Amoeba? … the Disneyland of Record Shops? … I love that store!

Great video, Tim. I've been buying records online from Sybiline for 3 years now. We're all proud of their new brick and mortar. I'm glad you got to visit them and put them in your video. Cheers.

Loved seeing all the record stores in LA. Some wonderful looking stores. I love that Janes Addiction album, I bought that when that came out. Great trip Tim, thanks for sharing

What a great time! Tim, I can't believe you snaked that Sleeps with Angels off the wall. I had my eye on it. Just not my credit card. Enjoy and come back soon!

Looks like you had a great time, nice albums.

Nice video! That Nothing’s Shocking has “Pigs in Zen” on the back cover, but not on the actual record, right? The Rhino pressing I have is horrible, “Summertime Rolls” has a sound that comes in and out. I heard that others have the same issue. They need to do a 2LP like they did with “Ritual”. Jane’s Addiction (before they first broke up) was a complete force! Seeing them live was a religious experience! I saw Porno for Pyros a couple months back at the Fillmore in Detroit. Mike Watt came back again for the original bass player that “Quit the Music Business for Nature”. Mike came out with a cane and sat down the whole show, but kicked ass on the bass and was energetic! Great vibe and great show!

Wow! What a great shopping trip Tim! Sounds like a wonderful weekend!

Great video Tim, always enjoy learning new old artists to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

Great video with a lot of nice pickups! I know you'd probably rather not, but I'd love to know what you pay for albums as you show them. Would really help to know what the market is.

Great video + pickups! Thanks for taking us along!

Great video Tim you get a thumbs up just for that sleep dirt album enjoy it one of my favorites from Mr Zappa!

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!

*Wow!* Frank Zappa... and, not only that, but Sleep Dirt! Wow again! Tim, you never cease to amaze me, that is a great record, I've had it almost since it came out. And yes, I have MANY Zappa albums, the ones featuring his guitar mostly, not the silly songs. George Duke is great! I have several of his, but not that one. Great Funky Jazz! His 'The Aura Will Prevail' is quite good too. If you like really excellent keyboard, Funky Jazz, look for the collaboration album Come Together with Jimmy McGriff and Groove Holmes, good stuff! If you like McCoy Tyner, I also like his later more progressive stuff kinda like what that one guy was saying. You should check out the Tone Poet Kevin Gray pressing of Expansions, excellent album! OMG! Tim... A huge *Super WOW* for Jane's Addiction!!! And here I thought you just sat around listening to Neil Young and Steely Dan... 😁 That is an *F'n GREAT* album, one of my all time favourites, I also have a 1st US pressing of that one. If you also like the Ritual De Habitual album by them (if I got the title right) if you can't find an original, get the RSD release of a few years ago, it sounds excellent!

For anyone playing a drinking game select ‘Promo’ as your word.😂 Nice haul of promo copies Tim.

Great trip report Tim! Some really nice finds - in particular the Joe Jackson, Tyner, Rollins and Jane's Addiction It was sad to hear about David Sanborn. While I wasn't a huge fan of his own releases his work as a session player/hired gun on other artist's albums was often phenomenal. I loved what he was doing on the Night Music show that he co-hosted in the late 80's. May he RIP...

Great finds! Too bad LA is all the way over there!

Nice finds / I always forget to negotiate too❤

Happy to hear that you had a wonderful time record shopping in LA. You discovered Atomic! Atomic is my favorite shop. Often I tell my wife I need to get the car washed, which I use as an excuse to pop into Atomic. I always come home with a sweet smelling car and a few sweet sounding records.

Hey Tim, Glad to see you made it to the LA area. I live 5 minutes south of Poo-Bah Records. Did you run into Alex at Record Safari? He used to manage the Glass Door record shop out in Pomona. They have maybe 15 bins of new arrivals. Alex is a cool guy and looks like he does in the movie. Atomic is a great place. Some of these shops bring LPs to a monthly Pasadena College Flea Market/Record fair the 1st Sunday of every month. Last week I was record shopping in Santa Barbra at Warbler Records. Bought a couple of early Rolling Stones including the American pressing of Aftermath and my first 10-inch pressing by Michel Legrand/Paris a la Hi-Fi Thanks again for the vid and for returning to Glendale!

Great video. I will check some of these out as I tend to always lean on Amoeba. Have to make my local run!

Nice trip, nice tour. I Have the Jackson 10". I guess I need to pull it out again!! That Sleeps in Angels is very good German press.

nice finds.. Atomic and Pooh Bah records are probably my least favorite record stores in LA so you got there on good days. Congrats. I love the access to WLPs in LA. They are just everywhere.. it's so great. A great video!!

Follow all your trips! Glad you can describe the trip as “fantastic!

Tim, great pick-ups! I'm jealous of that McCoy Tyner!

What a wonderful weekend. Maybe one day ill get to the coast to do some record shopping. Enjoyed the video.

Great meeting you Tim, after watching your videos I finally got to see you in person. Your vinyl scores is proof that Los Angeles(Burbank, Pasadena)is one of the best cities for record digging. Hope to see you again in the near future and looking forward to your next video….👍

nice jazz records, you got,tim!

Freak Beat Records once had a Hanna Barbara soundtrack, 80 bucks

I’m glad you had a an amazing memorable trip. Really appreciate putting it together to share. I’m hoping to do the same soon. Thank You

Great video Tim! Can you believe I live in LA and I’ve still never been to Record Safari? What is the music that you’re playing at 13:18? I really like it!

Your not alone, many of us, have this disease--best, you can catch

Awesome! Dammit, though..just missed you, Tim! Was just there! @thewaxed was nice enough to reco some of those stores to me, too..unfortunately I didn’t get to the one I wanted to go to the most…Atomic Records…it was closed! 😢 my bad for not looking good it up. Glad you got so many gems though! Enjoy!

Tim - it is Graham “May-bee” Maby. Sorry if I sound like a “know it all.” Also did you know he was Freedy Johnston’s bassist on both “Can You Fly” and “Bad Reputation”? I know you are a Freedy guy - so am I. Looks like you guys had a good shopping spree. Rob and Jim RCN are nice guys.

Have someone volunteer to drive is so nice. I didn’t realize how much of a drain LA driving is until I moved. Atomic Records is a great store. I didn’t go there often because I lived on the east side. When I used to go to Poo Bah the store was in a house. I never heard of Scott Walker until I started watching vc videos.

I have that 2LP 10" Joe Jackson - Look Sharp. No button though..... Based on your recommendation I need to listen to that again.

What a great trip!!! Did you drive? If you flew, I'd love to know how you got the records back. Thanks!!

Steve Kahn is underrated

Atomic has too many unsorted boxes in the isles, its now taking over in a bad way They neeed to expand into the vacant space next door. Pooh bah has seen better days. No Rockaway in Silver lake? they are open ltd hrs but worth the trouble, just need to call ahead. The Record Parlour between Sunset and hollywood blvd sometimes surprises but $$ for no reason. Record Surplus on the West side is a usual stop for locals. Back in the day at the old location they were the store for film music, soundtracks and classical vinyl.

NY "Sleeps With Angels"....$250.00 is my guess. Very spendy.

Afficiando… 🥸
