I’ve wanted to visit Rooky Ricardo’s for a long time; without a doubt, it is the best shop I’ve visited in the Bay Area. It is a temple of 7-inch vinyl, Soul music, and all its variations—but the best part is its creator! Ricky is a passionate enthusiast who truly lives and breathes the music. I walked away with several Northern Soul gems at very reasonable prices. I could have stayed all day just talking with Jon, I’ll be back soon from Catalonia... We Are The Mods! And remember... KEEP THE FAITH! ✊🏿
This place is so great, what an awesome collection of Soul 7“es. And the owner is so lovely. I wish him all the good health possible
Lots of records and nice guys.
