Since Amoeba has moved into town, the indigenous L.A. record stores have taken somewhat of a hit. Aron's records on Melrose is closing, which is sad. Rockaway Records on Glendale & Silver Lake remains a good store, though, and should not be forgotten despite the behemoth on Sunset & Vine. Their collection is less comprehensive, but it is still pretty solid. And, unlike Amoeba, there are a lot of real bargains to be found in the stacks. They pay good for used music, too.
