Bad customer service,issues communicating defects with new pressings on vinyl which are bad, and bringing them back for return with great hassle. Small shop, half the size of their prior location. I have had issues communicating defects with new pressings on vinyl which are bad, and bringing them back for return with great hassle.

Quality control is the concern of the manufacturer. Consumers shouldn't be required to pay for it. Employees there make you feel bad for returning a bad pressing and even deny it is bad, cutting you offf when talking, acting curt, and generally acting like jerks to their customers.

I shall not go back to East Side Records again and had been a long time paying customer. East Side has no respect for vinyl medium with their crammed bins smashing the vinyl and no temperature control in the summer months, allowing the store to get as hot inside as the outside desert air..

Eclectic, but not elitist indie record shop stocks obscurities along with classics.. In Short
Unlike the scene in High Fidelity where the clerk harangues a customer for requesting "I Just Called To Say I Love You," Eastside is an indie record store that realizes that people who buy indie punk records also have mainstream tastes. Here it's possible to buy an Econochrist t-shirt, a vinyl copy of a Samian album and still be able to purchase a Best of Journey CD with nary a grimace from the register.
