Why it is worth visiting

Rockaway is a collector's showroom with a practical requirement that changes the whole visit: shopping is by appointment. The Glendale Boulevard business concentrates on rare records, CDs and music memorabilia, including promotional material, acetates, demos, posters and other objects that sit outside an ordinary new-release browse. That focus makes condition, provenance and the exact edition central to the conversation. It is a different kind of destination from a shop where you casually work through broad used bins for an hour. Use the catalogue to identify the material of interest, then arrange a visit through the official contact. Selling also requires an appointment, so a collection in the car is not a reason to assume a walk-in assessment will be available.

What you will find

Rare and collectible vinyl and CDs, posters, autographs, promotional recordings and other music memorabilia. The showroom is not presented as a general new-release record store.

Genre strengths: Rock, Psych, Progressive Rock, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Soul, Funk, Folk, Country, Hip-Hop, Punk

Buying and selling

Rockaway buys vinyl LPs and 45s, CDs, posters and memorabilia. Both shopping and selling are by appointment; contact the business with details before visiting.

Local tips

Research the precise item or collection first, then book the visit. Do not place Rockaway into a spontaneous shop-to-shop route without an agreed appointment.

Keep the music going

More music. More stories. A longer tour.
