Arrived today. Unfortunately, the top of the jacket is split... I got it as a gift for my friend who's more into playing records than collecting them, so it's not a huge deal. Still, kinda weak.

Got the dispatch confirmation from Aural Exploits. Now the waiting begins...

I've been noticing that smaller record stores have been closing down one by one. Sucks. Looks like I'm gonna have to trek over to HB to hit up Vinyl Solutions. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

So I'm just getting into Vinyl, and I was wondering if you guys knew of any good record stores in the LA area. The obvious answer is Amoeba, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of any smaller joints that were worthy of their patronage. I've been buying online, and the shipping costs are killing me... Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
