Frequently asked questions

Cobraside is a small family business established in 2001 based in Glendale (Los Angeles County) California. We are a record distributor, meaning we operate a warehouse where record labels and manufacturers send their products for resale, so record stores can order their inventory at wholesale pricing (basically we are your local record dealer’s record dealer).

We specialize in the distribution of both independent and major label releases of LPs, CDs, and cassettes to retailers near and far.

If you are a member of the public and have stumbled onto our wholesale B2B site by accident, we do sell select titles directly to the public at www.cobrasiderecords.com .

We are a tight-knit crew of about eight employees, we enjoy taking the time to build relationships with our stores, and we can customize our approach to match each store’s customer base.

Having such a small yet diverse team gives us the advantage of a collective pool of musical knowledge, which we love to share with each other and our clients.

We get new inventory every day and take pride in providing same day shipping, handling, and packing each order with care.

If you’re a retailer, sign up for a B2B account. Once we e-mail you your log in credentials, you will have access to our full catalogue and receive e-mails weekly with new releases, restocks, and upcoming titles.

If you’re local, feel free to stop by the warehouse to shop in person.
