The staff (especially Jean) KNOWS punk. If there's something you're looking for, the staff can help you find it... at least the artist and album. It may not always be in stock, but at least you'll know what you're looking for. They are also very honest about their stock and will tell you if something is in or out of print and when to scour the world wide webs as a last resort. Items aren't always in stock and import prices are a bit steep as this an independent shop. However, I was looking for the Struggle Anthology CD and Jean tracked it down and snapped one up from Ebulltion for me at a low price. Also, they had new copies (like $13 a piece) of Assück CD's that Amazon was listing as out of print at exorbitant prices. The staff is also a great resource if you're looking to broaden your scope. Tell'em what you like and, chances are, they'll give you great recommendations. I'm pretty picky and (Jean in particular) has made a lot of great suggestions and expanded my European punk selections... which would figure since he's originally from Europe. I've been coming here since it was vinyl only in the late 90's. Still the same great store (different location since then). Just a bummer when they sell out of something you're looking for. 5 STARS by Edward M. in Los Angeles - Review on Yelp.com 04/21/2012

You want old school punk rock t shirts! This is the place to go to. The first time I came to this store was in 1999 when I was on tour from DC with Count Me Out. We were on tour with Carry On and Collision. This store is awesome and the owner rules. Check out the vinyl section, found some gems here. 5 STARS by Tru P.

Fuck yeah. i walked ten blocks from were i live. took the 10 on melrose and then i found out that it was a short line. walked four more blocks and then took the bus again. gotta say it was worth it. i went last saturday with a couple of buddies and we spilled our cash on patches and studs and i gotta say it was a great saturday and i hope to come back with more friends. also its badass how there are some black metal patches. support headline keep punk and all its subgenres alive

It's not huge, but if you're looking for a Punk Rock record store, this is it. I started going here back in High School when it was in a different location down the street. It was amazing back then, and bands played there often, but I heard one of them concerts went wrong and neighboring stores got their windows smashed by hooligans, so they closed down. When they reopened it was smaller, but still had a great selection of shirts, patches, buttons, cds, etc. True, the price is a little up there, but it's an independent record store, not to mention you can't really find a lot of these CDs, 7", and records elsewhere. If you like punk rock music this is where to be. 5 STARS by Joe Z. (Downey, CA) - Review on Yelp.com 09/13/2011

this takes me back like no other. When I was younger, I remember coming to LA to visit Melrose, and hit up Retail Slut, Vinyl Fetish, Red Balls, Bleeker Bob's and of course Headline. This place was my punk mecca. They had everything, with a huge selection of vinyl and cds, and their t-shirts are littered everywhere. They do have instores sometimes, but they were always extremely hectic, and I couldn't imagine doing that now.. however. If you want to see one of the oldest record shops in town, this is it. Not for the faint of heart. 5 STARS by Carlos C. (Los Angeles, CA) - Review on Yelp.com 11/28/2011
