Amoeba Records is one of those places you have to visit anytime you find yourself in the Hollywood area.
It's the largest independent record store in Southern California.
You will find everything from cd's, records, books, collectibles. Everything is very organized so you won't have trouble finding the movie or artist you are looking for.
Be sure to browse the dvd section upstairs to find dvd's for as low as $4.99. You can literally spend hours browsing through their large selections of DVDs and CDs and you will find exactly what you are looking for. Amoeba also hosts occasional live music so check their website for upcoming events.
The staff is very friendly too.
