Best Record Store Glendale Near Me

4worldlovers: What I can say about Rockaway is that they've been my go-to dealers for well over two decades. Not only have I always found them to be fair and honest; but, after recommending them to innumerable friends, I've received nothing but thanks. I continue to recommend them unconditionally.

I have been doing business with Wayne at Rockaway for more than thirty years. I have referred some thirty to forty music industry executives and friends to Rockaway to sell their collections. Not one, I repeat - Not One - has ever come back with anything other than glowing comments and results. I have found Rockaway to be the most honest and most knowledgeable company re: Rock 'n' Roll memorabilia and music of the many other companies that I have dealt with.

Someone once said that seeing Jonathan Richman in performance was as much fun as you could have with your clothes on. Well, I would rate visiting Rockaway Records equally so. As a visiting Australian I've been buying collectable records in the US since 1980. I’ve worked in some of Sydney’s most legendary music emporiums so I know a thing or two about what constitutes a great store. Rockaway has all the required attributes: extensive knowledge,

Ever-changing stock, fantastic personable service. There’s no attitude in respect to whatever your tastes may be, and whether buying or selling, prices are both informed and fair. Whenever I visit the States, Rockaway is always on the itinerary. And when I can’t get there in person, I scope their website and Discogs listings. The packing division sets the standard that all others should aspire to - one’s precious purchases always arrive in great shape, and are

Generally better than their original descriptions. Rockaway truly is second to none in their field.

I have been buying from Gary and Wayne at Rockaway for over 25 years. They turn up amazing records and memorabilia and price it completely fairly. They are wonderful to deal with and have extraordinary customer service. They go above and beyond for their patrons and really look out for them. I highly recommend visiting their store if you are in Los Angeles.

A number of years ago as I was downsizing, it broke my heart to sell my vinyl collection which started back in 1954 and grew to almost 85,000 albums. A close friend recommended Wayne at Rockaway as honest and dedicated to the music. Well, he exceeded all my expectations from day one. His remuneration was more than fair, but what made him a real mensch was coming back a few times with an additional check for records that sold beyond his expectations. When I left Santa Monica and had to sell my nearly 40,000 cd's, he was wonderful once again. I can't give higher superlatives to Wayne & Rockaway. He cares...he knows...he respects.

Gary Johnson is the creme de la creme, state of the art, & guru of honesty & fair play when the subject has anything to do with LPs, 45s, & any other rock & roll memorabilia & collectibles. Here is one example. I have sent many deejays & radio friends to Gary . They were looking to sell a few items. Gary 's pricing was SO FAIR & HONEST, they sold him everything. They called me & thanked me up the wazoo. Examples like this have been going on for more than 25 years--OVER & OVER again. Rockaway Records is HAPPENING!! Thanks for taking care of people the way that you do---ME INCLUDED!!

Gary and Wayne Johnson of Rockaway Records are the best of the best. World class experts in rare records and music collectibles, as honest as it comes, and a pleasure to deal with. It’s been my pleasure to have known and dealt with them for more than thirty years—and I look forward to many more years of doing so. I can’t recommend them more highly.

I started in the field of music memorabilia collecting back in 1981. It was then I first met and started what has now become a lifetime and wonderfully long business and friendship relationship with Rockaway Records. I could say so much more in terms of positive overlay, but I'll simply say they have been the single best company I've ever dealt with period. They maintain the highest integrity and their level of service is unequaled. They are, and have always been a company who completely understands every aspect of what we do. Nobody does it better.
