Title: Grady's Record Refuge in Ventura, CA
Post by: settingson on September 04, 2014, 11:09:49 AM

Anyone been?  I'm going to a wedding around Santa Barbara this weekend and have a day to kill so I was thinking of driving down.

You probably already know but just in case this is Grady Runyan's (Liquor Ball, etc.) store. Never been, but I'm guessing the stock is aces.

That's my hunch as well.  I was planning on going regardless, but was wondering if anyone had good tips or stories.

I've never been up there, but been meaning to for a long time.  I've ended up buying a couple records from them by coincidence via Discogs, and the conditions of what I bought were great.  Never put together that it was the dude from Monoshock.

Great shop!  I always pay a visit whenever in the Ventura/Ojai area.  Grady is a good dude.

I've been two times while traveling in CA and both times I've walked out with good stuff and after good conversation (not necessarily music related).

I plunked down $95 the only time I went there.  Coulda spent more, easily.  The crown jewel of the stack I walked out with being a boot 7" of the first 2 Crime 7"s.
