About Cobraside Records

Cobraside Records is the public-facing shop of Cobraside Distribution, a family-run music distributor based in Glendale, California.

Our Story

Founded in 2001, Cobraside began as an independent record distributor serving record stores around the world. Our warehouse connects record labels and manufacturers with retailers, making it easier for stores to stock great music on vinyl, CD, and cassette.

Over the years we’ve built strong relationships with independent labels, artists, and record shops. We pride ourselves on being a small, dedicated team that works closely with our partners and understands the culture of record collecting.

CobrasideRecords.com exists to bring a curated selection of those releases directly to music fans. Here you’ll find hand-picked titles from our catalog — including classic reissues, independent releases, and limited vinyl editions.
