The Cow is a great old music store in Ocean Beach. You can find all sorts of records on vinyl in great condition. Their prices are very low. You could spend the day searching through their records and walk away with a whole new collection. This is a good place to search for that long, lost record. The employees love all things music and are happy to help you when you need it.

If you still like your music on plastic, then this is the place for you. Cow is the vinyl haven of San Diego, or so I think. They have a ton of hard to come by vinyl tracks from as early as the sixties all the way to the early eighties. They staff is really cool and into their music, and you can sell them your old stuff for store credit. They also have a huge ninety-nine cent section with great finds. This is a one of kind place and we are really lucky to have it right here in San Diego. Overall, I give Cow a huge recommendation for superb service, product selection, value, and just simply being cool.

I dig this place. I got a CD player that holds 300 Cd's and sold all my empty CD-Cases to the dude at the Cow. With the loot I made selling empty CD boxes, I bought the Elvis Presley Complete 50's Masters Box Set on CD and am in pig heaven ever since. Every time I hit play and here Elvis wailing out "That's Alright" - I want to kiss the feet of the guy at the Cow. If you like vinyl, if you would consider it a religious experience to trade empty CD-cases for perfect Elvis rock music, consider this your new church.

Looking for a rare Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Bjork, Metallica, Segovia...these guys at Cow have it all. Owned by two really cool musical guys, you are bound to find what you want and get a great deal too. Since the owners are usually working, they are great at giving you special deals for shopping at their store. There is a lot of vinyl in this store, and a huge 99 cent section. I have found some rare finds here at a third of the price you would pay in San Francisco or New York for the same product.
