From the reviews

Looking for a fun spot to stop for finding vintage music, along side new trending vibes? This is a fun and eclectic place to check out! Salzer's Records carries a whole ground floor gallery of vinyls, CD's and cassettes, (some hard to find) and DVDs for visiting movie enthusiasts.

When people from out of state visit, they want to visit Amoeba. I oblige, but if at all possible I encourage them to come with me to Salzer's instead. Amoeba is a spectacle. But Salzer's is the real deal. This is where you want to shop.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! 1 of the coolest stores I have ever been too!! So much to look at and an awesome sticker collection. Definitely coming here again. Only problem is I’m not sure who decided to put the “Adult” section next to the gifts and TOY’S!! Not like I’m complaining tho lol.

Salzers is one of the last record stores still surviving in the California scene today, and that's a good thing. Much in the spirit of Rasputin and Tower records long before, it sells a dazzling array of items.
