In Short – Fingerprints is a service-oriented spot with a strong commitment to customer care. Its known for in-store acoustic sets and signings. Consult the rock art posters on the walls for a list of past guests like Patti Smith and Joseph Arthur. A hub for independent music culture, Fingerprints carries the best in new and used underground sounds. Stock on hand is sometimes limited, but that's a small price to pay for the quality of the selection.
Fingerprints Sucks
by Stephen Maturin at Citysearch
If you love vinyl like I do, don't buy from Fingerprints. You will not be able to return anything even if it is new and defective. The record guy there is a pretentious jerk. Also, the vinyl selection is bad and the prices are worse. I save my money and drive to Amoeba about once a month and gladly spend my money there where they know what customer service is all about.
- Pros: It has 2 exits
- Cons: Return Policy is Awful
The "High Fidelity" of California!

Simply the best record store EVER. As a KCRW fan with eclectic tastes, I've not once experienced a time when a Fingerprints employee did not know an artist, even unsigned artists. In-store events are frequent, they keep up email lists, and the employees are all, well, how can I say it other than young and hip? I save up my $ for when I visit Long Beach, I don't want to give my money to any other store (esp. a chain!). PLUS - your KCRW card gets you a discount!
- Pros: great atmosphere, knowledgable emps, good discounts
- Cons: best park on side st
