There are several reasons why Mod Lang deserves 5 stars:1. IMPORTS. They have a TON of them! Maybe the biggest and best selection that I've seen in the bay area. Because of this, I was able to find...

One of the reasons why I miss living in the Bay Area. Not a large store, but it has a nice selection and a friendly approachable staff.

I sure spent a lot of my college money when they were still in Berkeley. Stocked up on 12" and import CDs. Probably one of the main sources of fueling my development in musical interest.

Will writing this review actually prevent people from buying CDs elsewhere? Or just go to the shop, talk and extract information from their all-powerful staff--then bolt to Amoeba Records? Since...

This is by far my favorite record store in the East Bay. It seems like since they've moved to El Cerrito from Berkeley, their selection of Psych, Prog, oldies has grown and their Indie section has...
