Vinyl records still exist. Perhaps even more shockingly to some, new ones are constantly in production. But where do you go to buy them? Why, the local record store, of course. Enter Warbler Records & Goods, Santa Barbara's most awesome (in this expert's opinion) music shop. Here, you'll find stacks and rows and heaps of new and used vinyl, to suit almost every musical preference. What? You don't have a record player? Don't fret, they sell those, too. In addition to records, Warbler has a nice assortment of books, cards and other small treats for all the music aficionados in your life.
