Avalon Vintage

I love this store and the owners, Rodney specifically, who are among the coolest people on the planet. He is a walking music library. When I lived in San Diego a few years back, I brought my daughter and a van full of her girlfriends - a mix of Asian, Black, Latina and mixed race teens - to the store for her 16 birthday as one of the destinations for her LA party tour. They were all treated courteously and with respect by Rodney. I got the coolest vintage Frye cowgirl work boots for a great deal and the girls picked up some cool vintage clothes and records. I totally recommend this store!

Love love love this store and Rodney in particular (as I shop there for the rare vinyl treats) I have both purchased records there and sold some as well and always had a pleasant experience. Rodney is super knowledgeable and always generous with his time. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something special. Picked up a Parliament LIVE LP from 1978 and it still had the poster inside! Keep up the good work!

I really like this shop. The owner is friendly, but not up in your face when you're trying to crate dig. I have gotten some amazing finds there, everything from Kraut rock rarities, to underground reggae, and old post punk stuff. There is also a nice selection of music memorabilia, and a ton of cool vintage clothes and t-shirts. highly recommended.
