Record Jungle

grab a carton to sit on because you can dig for hours/​days here. Lots of 45s– many 45s. great selection and prices. The only suggestion I would make would be to please lower the volume of the music that is playing in the store. It is too loud for customers to listen to the records they would like to buy (even with headphones).

I have worked with Andres as a vendor and so my review of his store is strictly in that capacity. He is an exceptional individual and super-​smart about his business. He’s responsive, an excellent problem-​solver, and was really a delight to work with. To top it all off he’s got this dynamic and hilarious personality that makes me eager to do business with him again! I have no doubt (especially seeing the other reviews of active customers) that the Record Jungle is an incredible place to find all the best vinyl!

Andy p the owner is awesome! This store is packed with great records, you will not be disappointed. Inventory changes quickly. Parking was no issue, easy to find. A must go to for the real collectors when in LA.

Friendly staff, really good selection. Only organized by genre so its a really good place to come dig, come when you have a few hours to spare. Also, some singles are a little pricey but definitely worth it. I definitely recommend this place!

This place is awsome! The owner is hella cool, super helpful! So much selection Love the $ 1 section. Get ready to dig :-)

I’m an out-​of-​town record store owner who recently bought a collection that was too big for me to handle. I was referred to Andy, who made a long-​distance trip to see what I had. Not only was he humble and gracious, but he also was very fair in dealing with me. Andy’s the kind of guy who gives a good name to record store owners. Five Stars!

Very dope spot. There are so many different genres here for an affordable price. Owner was chill too and played great music. Only issue I have is some of the records being dirty when browsing. Not a big deal at all, but I did leave with my hands being dark.

Love that they let you listen to the records. They got 2 players. They got reasonable prices– Some are cheap as 1 dollar. It is worth spending a day here.

Andy is the man if your looking for samples, drum breaks or any type of music come check out the jungle his prices are good doesn’t over charge like other record stores… one of my favorite record store so if you haven’t been here come check it out

Hands down, my favorite store at the moment. Andy is the coolest dude ever, he actually cares about customers, hes very knowledgeable, he def knows his stuff. I been to a few other stores and the guys at the counter are either lazy, or rude af. Not here tho. Wanna dig out some great gems, this is the place. I love visiting the jungle, at least once a month, is def worth my 45 min drive.

My personal favorite record store always find something I want, great selection and the owner andy is one cool dude

Honestly the best record store I’ve been in. The crew is always on point and helpful, the selection is great. I never know what I’m gonna get here, but 90% of the time it’s great. Most places I dig at are always staffed by pretentious hipsters talking about Neutral Milk Hotel, but these guys know their stuff. Keep up the good work, hope to keep going here for a long time!

Second time digging at this shop and again I was not disappointed. Really good stuff scattered everywhere. The prices are very fair and staff was really humble and helpful. They have a huge 45 rpm section which I did not have enough time to go through. I will definitely keep coming back for more.

Seems like everytime I come in I run into fellow diggers who I run into at other stores. Many of my boys say this is their Mecca, but it all depends on what you look for. Ive been in here and came up on some really rare items for amazing prices. The owner is friendly. Great selection all around. Some sleeves can be a little on the ruff side… if you’re a sleeve collector. Great, vinyl store.

Always something to be found here! Super fair on pricing. I’m a record store hopper and this record store keeps me coming back. Also a great place to bring in your vinyls for trade. Great staff a definite place to check out if your into vinyl

This place is a tough one to review. Why? Firstly it has a lot of records in all kinds of condition ranging from fair to very good plus. Half the store is LPs and the other half 45s. Are the prices cheap? Yes. But the quality is all over the place. Also the records aren’t in protective sleeves so many look worn. Ok for the casual listener but not if you are picky on record quality. I don’t compare record stores with Amoeba since they are overpriced retailer which bills itself as independent but is now really a corporate full price retail store. I’d stop by here if I was in the area but wouldn’t go out of my way

Great selection, awesome prices and i saw Jrocc chillin. Dope spot.

First and fore most, Andy is mad humble and great shop owner. The record shop is stocked with nothing but heat! Yes it not organized by name and yes they don’t carry new releases like amoeba… but if you were looking for THAT type of record shop you shouldn’t be shopping here. This record shop is what a record shop should be. Great knowledgable staff and music playing all the time! Found gems in all genre bins and crates. The 45 selection is huge and has hidden classics in every aisle. Listening stations are available. The prices are fair and also priced properly according to the grade of vinyl. Record jungle is heaven on earth and just parking spaces are always available.

Not the place to go if you’re expecting your records to be handed to you on a silver platter. You have to flip and search through the albums the way nature intended…(gasp!) with your hands!
I have been here a couple times and I love it. Cool people, cool tunes playing and plenty of records to keep your fingers busy.
Albums are reasonably priced and are organized by genre. They even have a $ 1 section with some cool stuff in there. The 45’s section is insane and I’ve yet to dig into that area. I’ll be sure to get there early next visit as I may be there for quite a while!

Okay so I came back to this place now that it’s officially open to give it a second chance due to the fact that i came to the store when it was closed down and Unilocal said it was open.
PROS:
Okay so I love the fact that this place is in east la because I don’t think there’s any record stores in east LA. I also liked that parking was not a hassle and there was plenty of space. They do have a lot of records and genres to choose from. The staff is really friendly and helpful especially the young lady that helped me out. I did enjoy the two record players they had just incase you wanted to listen to the record you wanted to buy to make sure it was playing properly.
CONS:
Although they do have a lot of records this is also a problem because the records are not organized by alphabetical order and might not be in the specific genre they are placed in. I did find some good finds but nothing great, and it took forever to find them under that mess. After a while I just gave up and was a little annoyed. I also saw they didn’t offer any new records which was kind of a bummer. Lastly I was disappointed they didn’t have any classic bands like the Beatles, Doors, or Led Zeppelin.
I really do hope they organize their records better, offer more classic records, and also offer new records because I would definitely be back if they do.
