A-1 Record Finder Los Angeles

Does this place still exist? I've been out of Los Angeles for a few years now. Mostly, I'm a little bored and I am nostalgic for the horror stories about the schizo-socioipath owner. L.A. has some real gems, when you also consider that dude and his whipping boy underling at The Record Collector. Is that same dude still working over there, still getting shit on verbally? Does anyone ever bother going there anymore? I never scored anything good at either spot, but you'd think they would have some heat just by being a shop in L.A.

    Of course Q is going to be your close personal buddy if you were on tour drumming for Parliament at age 15. That dude Kevin is just a bullshitter more than an a-hole. The Program ain't shit because I've seen it. That guy was selling his own records out of A-1 for a while, but he's not the original crusty old bastard who I'm thinking of.

    Did anyone pull any heat out of A-1 years and years ago? That place had to have been popping at one point...

    omg was that old crazy guy the owner? I just assumed the nice guy who was super helpful was the owner, and the old crazy guy was someone he just took care of. I fond two albums there by Air Supply that I never knew existed, and some great opera too.
