Every time I go Sacramento I always make sure to visit Esoteric Records. I always find at least 3 to 5 cds and cassettes to buy there... old school 80s to early 90s hard rock...and everything is always reasonably priced too. Great spot for sure and one of my favorites.

What a vibe. Incredible selection. Fair prices. So many genres. Got a few classical records - not all sleeves and liners are pristine, but the records themselves are in perfect condition. Best record store in town.

After communicating with Esoteric Records beforehand, I had taken in my several boxes of DVDs, CDs and a small handful of vinyl albums to SELL, and left them for evaluation. Upon returning the following day, I was very satisfied with the outcome, as we both benefited from the transaction. Larry was great to talk to and I could tell that even after all the years that he had been in the business, that he still enjoyed being surrounded by old vinyl. If you are buying or selling, I would DEFINITELY recommend you stop by Esoteric Records! Thanks again Larry - it was fun meeting & talking with you!
