I was there last summer mate & to be honest altho' there are plenty of stores, its been well picked over on a very regular basis...............there are records there Im sure, but the likes of Tommy & plenty of US guys are working very hard there constantly. I found a few things, nothing to write home about, but the info on these stores is readily available on the net/yellow pages etc. I personally would get a little outside of LA & try the flea markets & yard sales & if possible see if you can make some local contacts before you go over who may have private collections or know of people who do. Good luck.

There is also a litle record collectors leaflet that comes out & covers the California are, gives details on Record Shows too, unfortunately I dont have the copy I used last year.

Also you could do worst than hook up with Tommy & Mike (both SS members) they always have sales & whilst you are not gonna rob anything, they have some great stuff for sale always.
