Gimme Gimme is explicitly a vinyl-only shop, which is useful information when deciding where a CD-led day should go. The business began in New York's East Village in 1994, moved to Los Angeles in 2012 and settled at the current Figueroa address in 2015. LPs, 12-inch singles and 7-inch records make up the physical selection, with used and rarer stock supplied in part through collection buying, including large industry collections. That history gives the Highland Park store a distinct route into the records rather than simply a broad genre promise. Pair it with On Maritime's Monte Vista shop for another vinyl selection nearby, and leave a separate leg for Arroyo on York rather than assuming every Highland Park address is adjacent.
