Why it is worth visiting

We Share Records now has a fixed Sawtelle shop, even though an older website description still presents the business as pop-up only. Owner Tsugu Itagaki's official opening posts in early 2026 establish the current storefront, and subsequent stock updates confirm an active retail operation. The selection centers on Japanese records, with 1970s through 1990s city pop, boogie and jazz fusion among the useful starting points. New reissues and used copies offer different ways into that music, so the edition matters as much as the album title. Choose We Share for a focused Westside vinyl visit, then pair it with Record Surplus when the day also calls for a broader used-CD or bargain-bin browse. The two shops serve quite different collecting aims.

What you will find

Local tips

Bring pressing details if choosing between an original Japanese issue and a reissue. Add Record Surplus for a wider Westside physical-media browse, allowing a separate trip between the addresses.
