Amoeba Music

This place is an absolutely treasure and a must for any music , movie or pop-culture buff. Massive collection and good prices, you can easily spend hours here browsing all the cool stuff they have.

Amoeba Music is a Los Angeles must see. They have great movies to buy, Amazing music to buy, and free live music . Such a great place to go and spend an hour or two.

Great anthology of American music . Saw Motion City Soundtrack live here and got to briefly talk to the band. Amazing selection of vinyl , movie posters and merchandise, next to VeggieGrill on Sunset .

“A cross between a supermarket , a flea market , and your favorite indie music venue . The only drawback: a rare 12-inch import record is hard to gift wrap .” - Neil Blumenthal, Co-Founder of Warby Parker Read more

best record shop i've EVER been to! i finally found Dan Croll's debut on vinyl since it first came out and i even found the rare "Get Lucky" remixes on vinyl ! if you're in the area, definitely stop by

This is the Mecca, Jerusalem, Rome, Lhasa, & Benares of record stores . All lovers of music must make the pilgrimage here at least once in their life to pay homage to the music gods and goddesses.

You could spend two hours and still only scratch the surface. Check out the excellent cult movie section. Huge vinyl areas that cross all genres with used and new records. Helpful staff too.

The paradise for every music lover . I could spend days here and still find new things. My favorite place in LA.

This is the largest record store I have ever been too. People trade in and trade out so much in 24 hours there could be completely new music , posters, and movies . Great selection. Love this place

Great old music store ! One of the last few music stores around US sale the CD, Vinyl etc. must go and buy vintage things!!

I grew up in record stores like this one. I buy most of my music online these days, but there’s always a rare find in the bins or a cool music show to catch. - Darryl Stephens, DTLA - The Series

The last and greatest record store on the planet, if you don't go there for their awesome selection of final and CDs you have a ridiculous selection of movies that you can't find anywhere.

The hangar-size emporium has an awe-inspiring selection of music , DVDs & posters and is also the site of AMAZING free in-store concerts by huge acts! The store rests above an underground parking lot . Read more

When I go here I think it's the best music shop ever, when I go in SF I change my mind, when I go back in LA I re-change my mind...

Great selection of new and old vinyl . Prices range depending on what you're looking for. The store also hosts in-store performances and has featured artists such as White Denim , Cut Copy and others.

The back right-hand corner of the store (when looking from the front door) has some of the most amazing pop-culture items you can find in a store. Also lots of great albums on the wall in that area.

They have a wide selection and overall good service . Their country music section is quite good but the folk section has something to be desired, though it is still good. Their jazz section is good

They almost always have what I am looking for. Great staff . Ask for help if you need it. And check in before you walk in so you can see your name on the info screen.

What else could I say besides the selection here is out of this world. Awesome shop with movies , vinyl , cds, and everything rocking in between!

Huge selection of vinyl , concerts tickets, used and new movies , music , you name it. Trade in your stuff for store credit or cash.

IMPOSSIBLE-TO-FIND LP's, DVD's, Laserdiscs, BluRay's, memorabilia , electronics and more are RIGHT HERE. New inventory added ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. One of THE BEST music stores in the world, hands down.

The world's largest independent record store (even though the original of the 3 Amoebas is in Berkeley)! Shop their huge selection of used CDs, DVDs, and vinyl , which is half the 43,000 sq. ft. store!

It's THE place to buy music for a music lover . Their music selection is out of this world and you can find some great deals in the used CD/DVD sections. You can spend hours browsing the store.

The largest independent music store still has the cool and hip vibe that it had since it opened in the 90s. Ask anything about music to the staff , and you’ll get that CD you’re looking for.

I've never seen so many records in one place. They have everything you can imagine in vinyl and then some.

Still one of the best music stores in the world. The used section is second to none and live performances every month.

Catch one of the legendary in-store concerts and find your favorite artists in the racks of new and used albums .

Go with a lot of time!! It's so big and it's great place for those who looks for rare cd and movies ❤️

If you're a bargain hunter, buy used... OR just keep your eye out for half price Amoeba gift certs. They have 'em at almost every cool street fair , festival , and museum night in LA.

Awesome animal shelter donation drive this October at Amoeba, with proceeds benefitting @BFAS_LA and @NKLA! Ask them about how you can help homeless cats & dogs and get $3 off music :)

One of the last great record stores left. Think 'Empire Records' but 3x larger and in the heart of Hollywood. It's your best bet at tracking down those hard-to-find records. Beware going on weekends.

New store (April 2021) is awesome! Super clean and has parking on Argyle (validated with purchase.)

An expertly organized cataloging system by genre, an in-store map, and a knowledgeable staff guide you through aisles of new, used, and rare CDs and vinyl .

For music lovers , Amoeba is not to be missed: it's the largest independent-music store in the world and also hosts regular in-store appearances by world-class artists and bands.

Biggest and best music store in Los Angeles. Can get lost for hours in there.

Great record store !! .. be sure to check out clearance sections and used sections also. Be sure to VALIDATE your parking ticket if you parked in the structure connected to the ArcLight Cinema .

It is a must visit if you're around Sunset blvrd, amazing music selection, everything and anything

the best record store to go in LA if you want to get lost, frustrated, overwhelmed, forget your phone at the front where you check your bag & leave without any music

Heaven on earth. So many records that you can't find elsewhere with such a wide selected. Tons of cool little stuff as well

If your a fan of High Fidelity and Empire Records and you love music - you need to come here!

If you can't find it here. You prob can't find it anywhere. One of the last sole proprietor record shops left! If ur in the area check out Umami burger. Beware burgers r made rare. Or Thai next door.

Amoeba always has killer in-store performances from the best bands! Make sure to check the schedule for upcoming events . Fitz & the Tantrums was one of my favorite performances ! - @lndsygblr Read more

They sell tickets for the best Indie concerts at The Music Box up the street. AND they have the best selection of new and old vinyls I've seen.

This is s fantastic spot. Be ready to stay there for long time.

Huge record store right on Sunset . Always has the newest and most hard to find selection. Never disappointed with the shopping/looking/listening experience. -Alex Reznik, Top Chef

If you love dope videos get this DVD (In Yo Face TV ) of all music vids I directed with e-40, young buck, Keak da sneak, and many more... Over 99 minutes of music and It's only $8!!

The stores in San Francisco and Hollywood have a modest selection of new and used video-games for current generation systems. This store is a playable venue in the music game, Guitar Hero: World Tour .

Carrying all of the best movie soundtracks you've never heard of before it was cool.

If you ever see an artist perform at our venue and you have to get the music right away... cruise down to Amoeba and get it. You'll love the place, they have everything.
