Provided by YP.comFinally sold off my entire 80's Madonna/British pop record collection and I thought the pricing I received was pretty fair. They make the process of selling very easy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Afterwards I spent significant time in the DVD section and found a lot of great old movies and TV collections. I've spent hours in the CD collection in the past and they have many hard-to-find releases.

Provided by YP.comWhether you're searching for that obscure experimental jazz LP or just shopping for some DVDs, Amoeba Music is the place. It's massive and beautiful. The selection is great and the staff extremely helpful.

Provided by YP.comAmoeba is THE authentic music store in LA. Seems like one of the last places to buy a CD, and so much more. If you like music, you can get lost in here for hours...

Provided by YP.comThis is a mini-city ... just stand outside on the sidewalk before it opens and you'll see an amazing number of employees arriving at this sprawling store in the heart of Hollywood. But I warn you: This place is addictive! I may go planning to spend 30 minutes there and end up spending 2 hours! And it's the home of SO many hard to find treasures. And there's a wonderful mixture of the old and the (unopened) new in both music and video. I had lost a treasured 2-CD set, and it was going to cost me nearly $30 (plus shipping) to RE-buy it on Amazon. But I found it at Amoeba for $9.99. And the staff is always ready to help. Obviously I love this place ... and I have NO connection to it beyond being a very satisfied customer.

Provided by YP.comI have always been a huge music & movies fanatic and I was a Tower Records customer, I own about 1800 CD's, about 250 LD, 300 DVD's, 50 HD DVD's, 30 LP's, 2 MD's, & 5 Blue Ray Disc's. so you kind of get the picture of how much money I have spend over the years on media, not to mention equipment, Im on the A&V Business and that's my hobie as well, in 1999 a co worker mentioned "Amoeba" and told me I should buy from them, I where? she said AMOEBA!
You haven't heard about Amoeba? she was like, wow! Don't you know Amoeba is the best store in town? she wrotte the
Adress on a piece of paper and gave it to me, before I left she said... But what ever you do, don't bring with you what ever money you are not willing to spend....& she was absolutely right about everything, Amoeba is by far the best and now the only decent store standing still of it's kind, I love the selection and the fact that they carry absolutly all kinds of media, collectables, limited edition stuff and more.
The only thing that I don't like is their horrible return policy, so make sure that if you buy something you gonna keep it,
Also they need a more friendly staff, is hard to find help, is a lot easier to find securitys than associates wiling to help.
I still give them 4 stars & reconice them as the best in "Selection" yet I hope they work on their customer service.

Provided by YP.comHoly moly, batman. This place is really big! I have been used to Virgin Records, Tower, and little mom & pop stores like Aaron's....so I always ran into that oh-so-familiar quote "Oh, I am sorry, we do not carry that title" by their customer service reps. But here, if it is not here, it doesn't exist! I am a big fan of underground hiphop and this place far exceeds my expectations. They have a huge selection of both used and new selections of hard to find underground hiphop. From MF DOOM to Jedi Mind Tricks to Necro. They have it. Not to mention, a huge selection of vinyl. As far as other music, there are rows and rows and rows of music. The Jazz room alone is larger than most music stores ! And their house music/techno vinyl selection is also pretty big. Wish i could tell you abuot each type of music but I only collect hiphop. But I am sure they have what you are looking for. And their dvd/vhs selection is great! You simply can't go wrong with place. I strongly suggest you park across the street and getting your parking ticket validated when you are done shopping. Last but not least, the personnel are very helpful and knowledgable. The hiphop staff really know their stuff.
The BEST selection of new and used cds, vinyl, dvds, posters, etc. Friendly knowledgeable staff. You could spend hours in this store. Their prices are reasonable, and they also buy your used cds, vinyl, dvds, etc for cash or store credit.
They have just about EVERYTHING you could possibly WANT in music and movies!!! The staff is very helpful and nice as well...Plus they have great performances there too-saw Paul McCartney there last year!Donna Moreno~

great and varied collection of music and music memorabilia
This is the most amazing music shopping experience anyone could ever have. They have everything from the newest radio hits to the most obscure finds from around the world. Also DVDs, soundtracks, posters, memorabilia. Incredibly well organized. I'd love to shop there every day. Everyone on staff seems to love their job and they're very efficient. If you like music, you'll LOVE Amoeba.
