Stranded Oakland

A short walking distance from Open Mind, get a 2 for 1 record store experience if you're in the area. Clean, organized, interesting, well curated selection. Friendly staff. Sidewalks filled with the aroma of the many local restaurants in the area.

Dale is super cool. Went above and beyond to help me with something. Good dude great records.

A bit pricey, but overall a great selection that keeps me coming back weekly. Check out the $5-$10 bins in the back as they often are loaded with gems from bands you've actually heard of.

I was disappointed to find that this record shop's pricing left much to be desired. In fact, it may very well be the most expensive record store on the entire West Coast. Although the selection was impressive, I wasn't able to find anything that justified the steep costs. As a result, I left empty-handed. I appreciate a store with a well-curated collection, but the pricing here simply did not match the value of the items. Ultimately, while the store may have its merits, the exorbitant pricing makes it difficult for me to recommend.

Fantastic little store! Super friendly owner, great record selection, with things you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else and very fair prices. Easily one of the best store I've visited in the bay area!
