Vacation Vinyl In Los Feliz

I’m one of those people who loves to spend hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in a record store flipping through vinyl new and old, so when I heard that Vacation Vinyl was opening down the street from apartment ealier this year I got very excited. I got even more excited when I found out the store was being brought to us by the people behind Secret Headquarters and Hydra Head Records.

Vacation is minimalist in the best way possible. If you want to find everything under the sun, go to Amoeba. If you want to have the selection carefully narrowed down for you, then Vacation is for you. I love going there because it’s great for an impulse buy. Records are organized by genre – from “indie rock” to “soul” to “unholy metal” – so it’s easy to pick one and find something new to add to your collection (like the Abner Jay record below).

The prices aren’t cheap at Vacation and the used selection is slim, but the staff is super friendly and eager to introduce you to something new. They even  have a seemingly non-stop parade of in-store performances from local and touring bands (sign up for the mailing list or check out their blog to stay informed).

Parking isn’t usually a problem but it’s located within waking distance of all the shops near Sunset and Vermont in Los feliz as well as the Red Line Metro. Make sure to stop by on your next weekend walk around the neighborhood.
