Hi All,

Had to have my windsheild replaced, yesterday and "lo and behold" across the street is a "Record Store".

I went in for only a couple minutes since it opened just about when my car was done (11:00 AM)

For anyone interested it is called "Record Surplus, the last record store" and is located at:

11609 West Pico Blvd. LA, CA 90064

and the Phone Number is 310-478-4217.

The store was quite large and seemed to have a rather huge selection.

Thanks for the tip, John.  I wish I had known about this last week before I left your lovely city.  However, I did visit Amoeba Records, which is the best record store that I have ever been to for rock, rap, indie, and R & B.  Plus, they had almost as much new vinyl as CD's, which blew me away.  It's refreshing to see an Indie record store completely transcend the corporate giants (e.g., Virgin/Tower).  You are lucky to have Amoeba in L.A., as there is nothing EVEN CLOSE to it in NYC.
