What People Are Saying About Fingerprints C D's & L P's
Featured Review
Tara Lis
Contributor
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.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- If you're wondering what's playing on the house stereo, check the Now Playing box near the register in the back of the store.
- Look Good:
- Fingerprints sponsors many promotions and giveaways for big prizes like Fender guitars. Inquire at the counter to find out what they're giving away at any given time.
- Know Before You Go:
- If you're a serious collector, you should consult the locked display cabinet, featuring rare and out-of-print gems like a Velvet Underground promotional CD pouch with peel-able bananas.

Steven-BOO-HOO
by sabin4u
Steven I'm sure was a poor little boy, who most likely supports the other store no matter, but I say Fingerprints sells new and used CD's and if any damage on my CD's, they will exchange, even give store credit. That's not all that bad.
I found brand new unopen; "The Doors" cd's and found almost every Door's CD used, without any scatches, I mean these are MINT!!!
The store is like the old school neighborhood cd mom & pop shop we should all support. I'm a huge fan of this place since I found it. I bring all my friends in and it's very relaxing too!
So koo-do's Fingerprints...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS!!!
PEACE

Fingerprints Sucks
by Stephen Maturin
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!
by tazzybean
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
