Rude ignorant people upstairs. The ones downstairs are ignorant and tell me my hundreds are fake everytime I use one. They lack knowledge in Italian, Germany, American, Horror, etc. This place is great on selection and deals. TRAIN YOUR TRASHY EMO STAFF PROPERLY!! IT'S NOT HARD TO BE POLITE. Otherwise a great store.
The largest selection on vinyl in town. You might or might not get help here but you can search for hours and find a gem or two.
Amoeba Hollywood's next Sidewalk Sale is Saturday, September 17th from 12pm - 4pm, right outside the store. it's your chance to score huge deals on music, movies, books, comics and more!
One of the coolest record shops ever vinyl tape CDs DVDs VHS Blu-ray all sorts of music all sorts of movies even some clothing posters everything a really fun place to go and hang out they even have a stage for live music now and again you could see a band play
A warehouse of music n movies n all things Hollywood! It will take hours to see all the posters displayed on the huge walls, and not an inch of space that doesn't scream Hollywood! An iconic place! And even the elevator there is iconic and a must-see!
Well I Custo the sidi of Madonna and others more were vonito
First of all I love all types of music and all types of movies.. and if you looking for either one, Amoeba is the place you need to visit
Love this place! Going to be really sad when it's finally forced to relocate.
As a local I love this place deeply! The world music and jazz selection is incomparable to anything else! Also, cassettes.
Crazy amount of music in all formats!! T-shirts, memorabilia and books galore!!
Stunning! I could spend eight weeks lost wandering this massive selection.
Music. They have everything you never knew you needed!
Pretty cool atmosphere nice cool place to buy music
It's rare that I go into the store and leave with the exact item that I was looking for. It's always a treasure hunt.
Hard to imagine a better "record store". Tons of vinyl, CDs and posters. Does not hurt to be in the heart of Hollywood.
The biggest selection of Music. Hate the parking though
I hang out here with my honey we get all sorts of cool stuff
It is what it is just another tourist attraction but it offers sounds,music, movies and collectables
Great place to find vintage and hard to find music and movies. They also have toys and books.
The most. A store that is going extinct but that is still a real pleasure to visit.
Great, friendly, customer service. Easy to find what you are looking for.
Cool place. Nice selection. Too many hipsters and cool people, though.
This place is a music lovers, movie watchers, nostalgia junkie's dream. Buy, sell, trade CDs, DVDs, VHS (yea, who still has VHS), wonder around and enjoy the sights and sounds.
This store is absolutely massive! I probably could have spent hours in there just looking around.
From what I could tell, though, the selection tended to skew a little more towards popular music. I found a lot more stuff that I personally liked at a much smaller record store very close to my house, though my tastes can run a little obscure. Additionally, a lot of rock subcategories were shelved in one massive rock section, including, I believe, all metal not classified as "underground metal". The ska/ska punk selection was a little small, but that could be a result of general unavailability. I wouldn't know
Lots of casettes that was really cool. The genres are split up pretty well and pretty intuitively. It was really fun going, even if I didn't really find much that I wanted.
$40 and come our with a crate of classics! Go have fun!
What's more to say about this record store? It's amazing!
Check them out while you still can a must for any music & art lover best used book section ever
Huge record store as from the 80s. Full retrofeeling. There are also turntables and CDs.
No matter what genre you like, if youre a fan of music this place is a dream come true
Huge collection of records and CDs. Underground parking available.
Awesome selection here! Many goodies for a reasonable price.
this place is great and the staffs were amazing too!
Great selection and fun to look around for new artist to add to your collection.
Interesting place with a lot of discs, books, games and a bit more
I don't know what a five star music store is like so for now I'll give four. Could have easily spent two days going through their inventory. Only skimmed through the rock vinyl. Could have easily picked 20-30 albums but settled on five albums and they do ship.
Alwayz, Most Thyngz Available!!! Music, Videos, DVD'z & Much Much More!!!
Has tons and tons of records and CDs and movies and more!! It's a must see place!
Great store, I don't know how the employees know every thing about everything, but they do. I still want to catch a concert here sometime.
I love amoeba! Great place to check out if you already havnt
Do not trade things in at amoeba! They will give you pennies on the dollar. A good record shop will give you half of the items value in trade and a quarter of the item's value in cash when it come to trade-ins. That being said, they have an amazing selection of new vinyl, cds and movies. Unparalleled in los Angeles! A great place to spend money, a horrible place to trade anything in. They also hire a diverse staff, you never know if your gonna have a awesome or horrible experience when asking for help. Sadly, the nicest people that work at the place are always running the registers. So I always tend to leave with the last few minutes of my trip being the best part. Also free parking is a big reason this review is not lower than 3 stars.
Always my favorite record store to go to. Not only is is located in a great spot where you can go other places too but it has free parking for it's customers and it sells all sorts of other media. Books, DVD's, Blu ray, vinyl, 8 track, cassettes, CD's, patches, pins, shirts, headphones, even guitar strings. If it has to do with music they have it. It's also the biggest selection of music that I've ever seen. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It does get crowded especially on the weekends so weekdays are the best time to go. This is definitely the spot to go to if you love music and you're in LA
Everytime I visit Amoeba I always find something new. That's something they will never fail at. One of the hidden gems in LA
Amoeba is one of the best record stores in all of California. It is also one of the biggest. They have almost every genre of music. They also have DVD, Bluray, CDs, Cassettes, 8 Tracks, Lazer Discs, Books, Posters, and of course Vinyl. They have a section for almost every band/musician
If they don't have what you're looking for, it probably doesn't exist. Items can get a bit pricey, however.
Probably the best music store i've ever visited. Both in terms of selection and atmosphere.
This store is fun to be I and all workers are friendly and very helpful
It's always a good hang out spot, plus it's on sunset so there's always more to do. Whether you're going during the week or the weekend, Amoeba is always filled. Plus if you're like me, chances are you've most likely ran into someone at your school with either an Amoebat shirt or sticker
One of the most expansive music stores I have ever seen. They are true to music and their customers.
An absolute treasure trove of CDs, records, and movies, all old and new. It's no wonder why this is such a popular spot! It's always such a fun experience, albeit a little overwhelming. As an audiophile though, I almost start to drool as soon as I enter the door. This place is always stocked with some of my favorite artists, and if I could buy all of the albums that I like all at once, I most definitely would. I don't recommend going in with less than $30, though. The temptation is much too great to leave without a paper bag in hand. But by all means, please support this store!
Great giant dedicated music store with lots of history
Very cool place loots of cool memorabilia, records,CDs, they have a low ball buyback system.
Staff is so friendly and helpful they really take their time to make sure you leave with what you came in looking for they go above and beyond and it really shows how much live they have for movies music etc.
The last great record shop in the world. It's a must see place. Great vinyls.
Love this place. I'm in my mid 40's; your store reminds me of shopping at Tower Records from years ago, only way cooler! And you have live shows, too. I live in Portland OR for me it's not a trip to LA until I get something from Amoeba Music
"Love this Place , Vinyl from A-Z, Picture Discs, Rareities, they Buy & Sell. I've Picked Up Several Hard to Finds, Friendly Courteous and Knowledgable Employees. A Fun Place to merely kill time by checking it out, but if You Like Music You'll Definitely Find Something to Add to Your Collection! "
A very large selection of albums, CDs, and movies. They also sell record players.
I get to LA infrequently but when I get here I never miss the opportunity to shop there.
The assortment of CDs, albums and parafinalia is astounding.
I was like a kid in a candy store today and walked out with a ton of music missing from my collection.
There is no other place that I have shopped that offers such a great selection of classic rock, blues and pop music.
Go shop there and be dazzled.
