Bagatelle Records

Hit this place up during my wedding week out in Long Beach. I'm a huge vinyl fanatic and being that this place was just down the street from where we were staying I knew I had to swing by. I got there before the doors opened and peering through the window I could tell that I was soon to be in heaven. Once the gentleman opened the door I was in heaven. This place has an amazing selection of classic rock, jazz, country, and funk/r & b. The older gentleman behind the counter was super nice and let me browse through all the boxes that I wanted to that were around the shelves which had yet to be priced or put out. I easily spent 3 hours at this store leafing through records until I had to leave, knowing that my bank account was going to take a serious hit. Overall I purchased 20 quality lps for around $180. These guys only take cash so be aware of that before going over. If you don't have cash you'll have to run down the street to the 7-11 ATM. Overall this is one of the coolest old school stores that I've ever been to. My only complaint is they put their price stickers which are about a 1 inch oval sticker on the record jacket. The stickers are impossible to get off, so I had to leave them on. However, atleast the sticker has the record store name and info. which in a way helps add to the nostalgia of knowing where you purchased the lp. To sum it all up, if you have at least 3 hours to spend and are huge into vinyl this is the place to get lost in and while doing so your sure to find some good gems to add to the collection.
