Whether you’re looking to find a new album or to start your own collection these five record stores are the place to go. It’s time to dust off your turntables and turn the volume as high as it can go. But of course they also CDs if that’s more your style.
1. Vintage Vinyl
Open since 1979, Vintage Vinyl has not only been selling music to the masses but they have been inviting musicians to perform on their stage. With a large selection of vinyl and CDs, you will always leave with something new to listen to. All you have to do is walk through their white stands to see pictures of every musician that has played there. This includes bands like Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, Nick Jonas, Modern Baseball and Ozzy Osbourne.

2. Spina Records
At first glance Spina Records seems to be any old house, that is until you see the bins of vinyl records on the table out front and hear the hand-picked music playing. Not only does Spina Records sell used vinyl records for inexpensive prices, they also have cassette tapes, turntables, and a variety of vintage antiques and decor available.

The Princeton Record Exchange is one of the largest record stores and has been around since 1980.

If you ever manage to listen to everything from Vintage Vinyl the Princeton Record Exchange should be your next adventure.
