Salzer’s Records

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.

My crack house (vinyl store)I love spending time here, and money, everyone is super friendly and helpful when I ask for stuffs.

It’s an institution. Most of us have been visiting any time we drove past since we were kids. The locals who appreciate a bargain recognize it’s the place to get all things music, rarities, smoke shop things and unusual gifts for all. Carly, Ricky and Kirsten are always a pleasure to cross paths with.

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. More than just merely vinyl records or compact discs, they sell shirts, odds and ends, jewelry, and knick knacks that can justify any birthday gift or housewarming present for those who enjoy a little more substance and style to their decor. Also, Salzers is the hub of the local music community in Ventura. Local talent can prop up their flyers and try to rustle up a frenzy for their next show. What cab I say. I love a good record store, and Salzers is one of the best the best. Be sure to get a good pair of cheap sunglasses before you leave.

This place was recommended to us by a friend who lived in the area many years ago. Despite not having visited this store in decades, she recommended we go since we are vinyl enthusiasts. This is, hands down, the coolest store. They have a great selection of records and books, as well as a wide variety of other fun stuff (lots of Archie McPhee items, which was great to see since we hail from the Pacific Northwest where they are made). The head shop upstairs has some amazing glassware as well and the gal working that area on that particular day gave us a history lesson on the store. If you're in Ventura, you've got to go to this place. You won't be disappointed.
