Record Stores in California, United States

Since 1979, Watts Music has been one of the principal retailers of music, both old and new, in the North Bay. While Watts sells music in a variety of formats, in recent years the record store has seen a surge in popularity due to their large selection of vinyl records; something they never stopped selling, even when vinyl was considered obsolete by many. In addition to vinyl, Watts also has a wide array of cassettes, CD's, and even 8-tracks (for those with super vintage car stereos).Perhaps Watts' greatest strength as a store is their extremely fair pricing. Older titles that might be priced at $20 or more only 45 minutes away in San Francisco or the East Bay, are generally all between the $5 and $8 range at Watts. This makes the store a particular favorite of collectors fortunate enough to live close by.An additional benefit of Watts is, if they don't have the title you're looking for in-store, Darren, the manager, can generally order it from his distributor and have it at the store in as little as one or two business days.For those looking for a truly old school record shop to browse and talk music in, Watts is definitely the place to go.
