Best Record Store Bakersfield Near Me

4worldlovers: Founded in 2001, Bakersfield's Going Underground Records is Central California's largest and longest running vinyl record store and has recently expanded with a new brick-and-mortar location in Los Angeles!

We buy, sell, and trade LPs, 45s, stereo equipment, local concert promotional items (posters, flyers, one-off recordings, etc.) and more. We purchase collections of all sizes, so whether you have a handful, or thousands of records to sell, call or stop by any day of the week. We buy daily and travel to you for large collections!

4worldlovers: World Records, the record store part, will be closed starting Sunday, July 2 until we re-open Wednesday, August 2.

World Records, the theater part, is closed until it ROARS back for September.

Sales resume when we get back August 2. Look at all this fun to come.

Wishing you good days until we meet at World Records again!

Everyone wants to be proud of their town. But it takes effort to have a town to be proud of. And when it comes to World Records concerts, it takes a little effort, but the rest is really easy, and FUN, and INVIGORATING! The artists we select to feature at our theater, they are the foundation of the music version of the food pyramid – artists that aspiring artists draw inspiration from, recording artists, world-wide touring artists, artists whose life work is to spread meaning through music.

Samantha Fish is one of the shining stars of today’s blues rock scene and is known as an international genre-bending guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

“I want to reach over genre lines and get out to as many people as possible…”

For Samantha Fish, her journey on the guitar started with the blues. And while Fish is rooted in the blues she’s not afraid to push the boundaries of the genre.

Sure has been nice to have folks back in World Records, flipping through CDs and LPs, checking out the Boytone record players and Audio-Technica turntables, picking out seats for upcoming concerts, getting just the right color WR t-shirts, and filling out to-s and from-s on those World Records gift certificates that every music lover longs for.

It’s easy to use the World Records Upcoming Shows Page to get up to speed about the terrific artists we have selected for upcoming concerts.

So, I hope you have a few minutes to “meet” these artists, whether or not you come to the concert. It’s important that you know why we think a visit by these artists make our town a little better.

Thank you for taking time to read and for being the reason our store and our concerts continue!

World Records has a great selection of new CDs and LPs.
