  • dba brown is up the street from groove yard. just go up claremont and it's on your left just before you hit college. ok selection. sometimes he's got heaters but it's hit or miss.



    He's gone. Not there anymore. I walked by a few weeks ago and the place was cleaned out. Dudes been there forever. I'm sorry to see him go. I must have just missed him because when I went by all his shelves were dismantled and thrown out in the back for trash pickup. I actually eyeballed it to see if there were records underneath it.

    oooooh... record finders! thats what the store was called?!?! haha, he had some cool records over the years...

    the record collector that used to be in the mission and now is on 14th... thats across the street from hush hush and up the street from the wifes homegirl. that store sucks balls! oh well...

    i didnt realize that saturn and dba browns was oakland... so confused.

    and yeah i bought a whole bunch of shit for $1 a piece at dba three days before closing the doors.



  • and yeah i bought a whole bunch of shit for $1 a piece at dba three days before closing the doors.

    Did he say why he was closing? Not enough business? Retiring? Honestly, I just never thought to buy from this guy. I think it was because I worked so close to Amoebas in Berkeley and lived closer to Saturn and Groove Yard in Oakland. dba Brown was just that place right in the middle of my work and home.

    shit... i think he said he was retiring but my brain is foggy for obvious reasons. i used to not think of that spot or bedrock in san rafael that much but when they were closing i took advantage. bought about 30/40 records at dba and over 100 at bedrock in a two day dig there.

    Is there even parking there? I live around the corner and thought it was just street parking.

    cosign on all the previously mentioned spots. i'd add streetlight records, but their stock's like 80% reissues.

    Went by there today since i was around the area. Indeed, a shitty store. A store that size needs it's niche. Either soul/funk, punk/metal, hippie stuff, etc. Lots of way overpriced dollar store stuff.
