I liked it better before it moved to the new location the old, tiny house they used to occupy was packed but had so much character. Since this was almost an hour drive, a ride there was the Holy Grail. But the most special record experience for me was a trip to Blue Meanie Records in El Cajon. I have fond memories of Off the Record for being totally up-to-date with everything I learned about from Rodney on the ROQ, and I liked how they would play everything from Crass to reggae on the sound system. I got the fabulous first Moby Grape LP (with the original poster!) there for $2. The used stuff and cutouts were cool, too - much of my hard-earned dishwashing money went there.
