This is a great music store. They sell cds, tapes, dvds, videos, posters, and some music magazines. There selection is excellent. If you are looking for a cd, this place will probably have it. Be prepared to buy more then you are looking for. They have things you just cannot pass up. The employees are helpful and know a lot about all types of music. This place seems to get a lot of imports, so if you are looking for imports go to this store. The only problem with this store is some of the customers are loud and rude, but you can just ignore them. SInce place is located in a great area. There are many restaurants, shops, and churches in this part of town. They have a parking lot, but it is really small and fills up fast on weekends.

High expectations

by musicjunkie79 at Citysearch

I'm originally from L.A., when i started to ask about record shops everyone mentioned ear x-tacy with such gusto that I expected to find music store mecca. Once I arrived I was somewhat let down, everyone I had spoken to stated that the store had a "huge" selection. If you're into rock, country, or rap/hip-hop you have a great selection, but as for anything outside of those labels there was much left to be desired, especially in their vinyl department. Despite the lack of variety the staff was very helpful, the store was well organized, and special orders were offered to be made for me, so I can't complain too much. If you have been to Amoeba Records in Hollywood or Berkley than you know what record store mecca is. I guess in that sense I'm just a little spoiled.

• Pros: Helpful staff
• Cons: Lacking variety
