Counterpoint Records & Books

Record store in Los Angeles, CA

5911 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Counterpoint Records & Books sits on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood, splitting its floor between used vinyl and a genuinely mixed media stock: CDs, cassettes, VHS, DVDs, laserdiscs, vintage paperbacks, zines, magazines, and other ephemera. It's less a record store with some books than a real crossover shop for people who dig through formats other stores have stopped carrying.

The store buys and trades records and collections, and for larger hauls they'll come to you rather than making you haul boxes in - as they put it: "If you have a large collection and want us to come to you, please call or email with more info." Worth a call before you drive over with a full crate.
