| - Let me open with this, absolutely one of the best record shops I've been to, hands down and when it comes to record shopping, its a serious business for me.
I have looked up a bit of their history, and it looks like they moved and downsized a bit in the past couple years, and now they go by the name "Ghost of Eastside records". The space was small and a bit dark, no more than 1 window in the whole place. Regardless of their small and cramped space, The records were well organized and i had no trouble navigating through the stacks.
But here comes the important part. The used stock was amazing! In great condition and clean, every stack i looked through had 5 or 6 lp's that you would not find anywhere else at prices that would be easily double anywhere else. I have no clue where they get these titles. I grabbed up some Beefheart, a live Coltrane lp I have never seen, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Iggy pop, Furry Lewis (Mississippi blues wizard) and 2 more that are escaping me right now all for less than $80. When i walked in, I felt sort of like I did when i entered Amoeba in San Fran the first time, with amazing titles all around me, the difference is Amoeba had an overwhelming amount, with rare and interesting titles mixed in between common titles, whereas Eastside Records took all those rare and interesting titles, and condensed them into a small space with none of the filler.
If you are in the Phoenix/Tempe area, DO NOT MISS THIS STORE!
