John Roller's Mono Records is about three hundred square feet on an unremarkable stretch of Glendale Boulevard, holding somewhere near a thousand used records at any one time. That is the whole idea: there is no filler and there is no dollar bin, because everything on the floor was chosen. Original pressings, sorted by genre, with soul and jazz the sections people come back for, most of it between seven and fourteen dollars and the wall records from twenty up. Not a shop you stumble into
