Nice episode, Brendon! It’s the closest thing to actually being there. Trips to record stores, they are so exciting and something to celebrate! Enjoy, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it Enrique! I know it’s not as easy for every one to get to record stores these days especially with how few exist. I hope these episode bring back those great memories when record stores were everywhere.
You'll find that if you venture to NJ more often, you'll see much lower prices on CDs. If you can make it to Princeton Record Exchange, you'll find thousands of CDs at $1.99 or $1.00. Your NYC prices are ridiculous.
If you come back to Jersey, check out Jack’s in Red Bank and the Princeton Record Exchange.

Do You Feel... Like we do?
5 music geek demerits for not saying that in Voxbox voice whilst in the presence of the most holy Frampton Comes Alive
great video Brendon
That Slayer box set here in Australia you will not get for Less than $300 i wish i was there that would have been in my collection
and that lynard skynard box wow would have been mine also
Yeah both of those boxes were good deals. That Skynyrd box I couldn’t believe the price on. I’m very picky about the quality of my CDs and their packaging otherwise I’d have grabbed it in a heartbeat. Even still it was worth it at that price.
Speaking of the tubes I'm still looking for a cd copy of the tubes young and rich see it on eBay but for ridiculous prices
Too many albums that are out of print go for crazy amounts. To me that’s why physical media will never die. There will always be a market somewhere for it.
Wow B even the screaming jets gotta a mention from my hometown in Newcastle Australia also home to silver chair .... Luv your videos feels like I'm actually there.
That place seems like a gold mine. Good prices. I would have grabbed a bunch of stuff you were looking at. Great video
Most of what I showed I own already which is why I didn’t pick it up. But I still remember those days before I owned lots of these and what an amazing time it was finding them all at such good deals like this.
Hello Brendon I Hope You Have A Great Week Ahead My Friend.🙏👍
Thanks! You too!
30 bucks minimum for new vinyl these days.. most 35-45.. that's a hard NO for me lol. Just keep selling me inferior sounding CD's instead for 5 bucks.
GreT cd album ace frehley trouble walking
Yes a very underrated album.
The Kirk Hammett is awesome
That Izzy Stradlin album is a great one
You’re absolutely right! I love that album and all of his solo work. GNR is really missing his contribution to the band. Funny that you viewed this video today, I was just there and filmed a new Let’s Go To The Record Store episode that will post this upcoming week! Keep an eye out!
Amazing prices, was just doing the conversion to British pounds- fantastic deals! “I’d buy that for a dollar!” 😁
I agree bridges to Babylon is a great album . Period ✌
Nice to meet a fellow fan!
I went to Tunes today via PATH train from Manhattan. Thanks for telling us about it.
Looks like an awesome shop with decent pricing. They had the 'Left of the Dial' box set (Rhino) which is really good. It's in a neon pink box, so you can't miss it. Worth a look the next time you're there. THX for taking us along on your shopping trip!
Do you have all of your CDs cataloged on Discogs?
Super cool visit, Brendon! I went to a 1 dollar (well euro) store a couple of days ago, and made out like a bandit: 27 cd's 1 euro/ each and a couple of Lp's. Then I went to another thrift store and found 10 cd's for 2 euro (all together!). Found some gtreat stuff I had never heard off, and got them for such a low price. Best found of the day: a band called "Drill"-one album only (s/t), incredible female singer. Totally amazing! Cheers.
I'm not that touchy about the booklets but the booklet better be present and functional. I've been to Tunes a couple of times; they do have other stores but have only been to the one in Hoboken.
Love the shout out to Australia's own Screaming Jets. I didn't even know they were known outside our country!
Great vid Brendon. Really interesting one this one and what a store ! Awesome deals !
Did you pass on the UFO e.p.?That looked totally cool!
Hey Brendon, I really love the commentary you’re doing now for these record store videos. I think you’ve got a really good format going.
I went to Defend Vinyl in Smithdown Road Liverpool and bought The Damned: Strawberries on pink vinyl with a strawberry scented lyric sheet like the original for its 40th anniversary. I also picked up the rare UB40: The Singles Album for just £2.
Wow that sounds pretty cool!
I am seeing a lot of strategic cd pricing up my way where they check the going rates online and then bump the price. But every once in awhile I still come across some great finds for a great price. My latest best was 4 mint Rolling Stone aabko digipak gold sacds for $5 ea. I stayed away on RSD, prefer a more sleepy time visit! Cool store for sure! Thanks, Brenden!
Nice find Mondo
Any SACD is worth 20-30 USD min, usually more. Yes, some audiophiles might not prefer that particular mix, but still nice to have with multichannel
I've found a few SACDs at thrift store by chance, as they looked the same as cd's, often with no indication on the spine.
Dollar or less.
But yes, in general, mom and pop music stores are getting too savvy with looking up current used values on ebay, discogs, though they often miss some or can't keep up on old inventory. Still good sales, combo deals to be had, or trade in unwanted or doubles
VERY COOL!!😀
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! I've never ever seen a copy of Back in 72 anywhere, except the time I found a cassette at a Goodwill! Interesting to learn about your john mellencamp section. I just picked up a copy of the Concert for NYC (50 cent find!) and he did a good job on that. cheers!
Yeah that was my first time seeing it on CD as well. Maybe it was a very well done bootleg.

Hi Brendon: 😀💿👍. Thanks for taking us along on RSD in Hoboken, NJ. Thanks to you and this video, I was able to go online to this store and get the RSD album that I wanted and could not get locally. My tiny local store called its Illinois branch and it did not have it either. I called a couple of stores an hour away from me and they did not have it. What is it? Iggy Pop Live in Berlin 2 X LP - RSD Exclusive. You showed it and the store had a few of them. I went online to check for it and ordered it. I am keeping my fingers crossed on it but I am already feeling elated! I am not into live albums, but Iggy is my exception. Rock Always! - Heather
Hi Heather! Glad to hear that the video was more than just enjoyable and lead to you actually finding something you were looking for. I too considered the Iggy Pop as I’m a fan also. But you know me, I’m always hesitant with live albums. Though I do have quite a few of his, especially ones with unreleased songs that never made albums.
No KISS records there what a shame .. peace ✌️
4:14
I can no longer respect you in the morning
😝
I ended up with this. And it’s fun!!
“PUNK 45: I'm A Mess, a new collection of punk and D-I-Y rare 45s from the UK, as a one-off pressing limited-edition double album with a bonus 45 exclusive for Record Store Day 2022. Soul Jazz Records' long-lasting Punk 45 series are high-quality editions of early punk 45s.”
Dance Naked came from a disc store called CD World, which was a fav haunting place in NJ in mostly the 90s until they closed down. Good cheap finds there in this new place my man!
Yeah I love finding CDs that still have tags and things from old record stores that aren’t around anymore. Brings back good memories.
At that price range these cds must be beyond scratched but still play somehow.
I sell mine 10$ each and for the less goods but still always from very well known artists and bands then 5$ each.
Its sell,
But they are mint plus i put them in brand new jewel case(the ones that cost 50 cents each not the crap ones at $ stores).
Plus i put the cd in a sleeve.
Look like a cd you'd buy at Tower records.
Thx again for your videos,
Passion is the key and you have it.
I don’t know what record stores you shop at but none that I go to see “scratched” discs. Not knowingly anyway. And none of the ones I looked at from Tunes were scratched. BookOff has a $1.50 section and they’re not scratched either. Generally speaking people working at record stores are music fans as well and won’t bring in damaged merch. Sometimes you’ll find a disc with marks but they’re guaranteed to play and always do. Usually they’re brought in because it’s a rare disc and someone is willing to buy it despite not being mint. But just because CDs are $5 doesn’t mean they’re scratched. And certainly I’d never buy any that are myself.
@@BrendonSnyder Different in the states then.
Here in Canada very different.
most second hand stores sell cd with finger prints,hairlines on them.
I have thousands without anything on them,
tjhats why its sell.
You are telling me that a 1.50$ cd is mint.
that's awesome.
There is no def leopard after Pete Willis. Lol. I'm messing!
There are those that feel that!
Great video Brendon , i've been collecting music on all formats for over 40 years .... the thing that drives me insane is how retailers put some shitty pricing sticker on the front of a vinyl album or CD that is near impossible to remove without damage to the cover . Great pick ups BTW , Rush 'a show of hands' is killer ........ rock rock 'til ya drop mate .
I’m right there with you! I’m constantly shocked when I see a music store has placed a pricing sticker directly on a record album cover or cardboard packaging. Yes I’m some cases they come off fairly easy but I’m most cases they don’t. I usually pass on those which is unfortunate.
The CDs!
You like Drive By Truckers Band?
No, they’re not my thing.
@@BrendonSnyder Lol, yeah I understand! Really good storytellers and musicians but they sound like bitter, shit eating rednecks! 😂
2:46
Read that as RAM - Ones
Ie a Ram album
How’d you get to Hoboken?
Uber!
PATH train will take you there too
Omg I finally found you again brother
I didn’t know I was lost! 😂
Was a bit worried about you in this video, you seemed to have developed a shaky hand, I do hope your ok. Cant say I noticed it before, plus you seem to be rushing the looking through the records. Take it easy mate. Hope you're ok.
Did you watch the part at the beginning where I added text apologizing for how fast I was moving so as not to hold other anxious record store day shoppers up? Trying to be a courteous music fan.
@@BrendonSnyder sorry no I missed that. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Very 🆒 record store Brendon I need more CDs I'll always love collecting CDs
You can never have too many CDs IMO! 😂
This store is incredible ! Really enjoyed the trip. I bought the same Rush live album yesterday ! Original version too.
Great minds think alike!
Talk about cheesy, I just bought a Kasey and the Sunshine greatest hits CD. I was a kid in the 70s and liked KC songs.
Hi Brendon!! nice record store, hard to believe you have never visited it before..... and cool to see they have a mix of old cds and newer stuff like the recent RSD releases. Bummer you did not get the remaster live Rush, but they seems to have a nice selection of hardrock and heavy metal too. cheers and be well
Have a look at the MeanMrMayo channel, he’s a big Joan Jett fan.
I’m not a big enough fan to do that 😂
Wow, amazing prices and selection! Love the Gin Blossoms and I am with you on Hysteria, must have CD/vinyl for sure! Also that Lynch Mob CD is one of my favorite, highly underrated
Hysteria is great record, imo a total classic.
Cool post, Brendon.
And a store you should frequent.
Edit #1: Not just you, brother on replacing cds with sun faded art/spines. Replaced several of my cds for that very reason. Re-home them all.
Edit #2: Cutie alert at 3:33. ✌
Great Finds!!!! Brendon great seeing what you picked up. I have that Bryan Adams Anthology. Mine had a limited edition DVD with it.
Nice, extra score!
@@BrendonSnyder when he was on the Room Service tour I’m thinking. Portugal 2005.
got every title I was looking for for record store day,
The two David Bowie CDs the kirk Hammett the Lil Wayne. Mariah Carey #1, The Elton John Tom Bell sessions, The Santana, The Rolling Stones more hot rocks, The Chicago 1971 live, The offspring greatest hits, The bad company live 1979, The Everlast Whitey Ford sings the blues, The Proclaimers sunshine on Leith, The solo Gavin Rossdale, The Rick Ashley whenever you need somebody, The Breakin soundtrack, Bella Donna Stevie Nicks. I own most of these on cd but got the vinyl since they were rsd exclusives. My wife also got the live Belinda Carlisle, The cranberries and the classic Guns N' Roses greatest hits among other things. I listen to a variety of music some of which it's writing with this channel some of which does not not everyone can listen to the same music and that's all there's something to be no shame in.
Overall awesome video, takes me back to the glory days of music stores, late 70s through the 90s, hours spent in Mall chains like Musicland, Sam Goody, or strip mall chains like Harmony House around SE Mi.
In the 70s department stores like Sears, Wards, Federal, Korvette had excellent music media departments, rivalling music only stores
Great video Brendon! Record stores are my happy place but i needed to cut back a bit on my music spending.😂 But because of your episodes, i get to go to record stores without physically being there and emptying my wallet. Thank you!🙂
Those prices are crazy. I'd have 11,000 albums of I lived close to that store. I have that Cream box set, it's really nice l have Chicken foot. That live Rush is great. Stickers, punchouts and writing on albums drives me nuts. The Tubes are going to be in Billings in a month or two. This is great looking at this stuff.
Great Stuff as always brother ! Fortune Album is right down your alley. Solid band . Some really good deals on cd and vinyl there. Check out Cocteau Twins . I think you would like them. Have to go back and check out that Rush Live album again. That UFO Single looked very cool .
We went to four record stores or music places disc And Dat in Bethel Connecticut. Gerosa Records in Brookfield Connecticut one of your typical Newbury Comics in Danbury Connecticut and the best for last Darkside in Poughkeepsie New York. I highly recommend Darkside one of the best record shows I've ever been to. Been to Tunes way back when they reopen from the Covid. At the time they were very lax with the new releases because of Covid go to great record store. not easy to get to for us.
Any word on a release date for the Quiet Riot CD'S?
No only that a deal is in place that will allow them to be issued on CD for the first time and that it’s expected this year.
Wow! Being from the UK those prices are insane! I was almost hyperventilating watching this😀 I’d have walked out with a barrow load of loot. Love the record store vids, I find them absolutely joyous. Also, I thought the Kirk Hammett ep would be more of a curio than actually something I’d listen to a lot.. I was wrong, it’s wonderful and has been on heavy rotation. I hope he’s encouraged to produce a full album where he can really express himself….
I’m glad you took my advice and visited Tunes in Hoboken, I knew you would like that store. The only issues I have with them is some of the used cds and box sets are sealed by the store. They do have great prices for the used cds.
Looks like a store I would frequent often if I was a local, great finds & prices. That led zeppelin BBC sessions vinyl boxset caught my eye & what a great album that self titled candlebox is
Re PKG damage, stickers, markings
I am in this for the music, so imo, if the discs are complete and undamaged, and all parts are there such as booklets, inserts, liners, then I would take it if significantly discounted from normal condition prices. Also a negotiating point, unless owners already took damage into account, though often willing to do better.
Joisy? Fun stuff. How far away is it from you?
45 min car ride.
Thanks for another great trip down Memory Lane, Brendon. Great commentary. I totally forgot about it being Nat'l Record Store Day. I never got to go out to my "local" record store (a half-hour away from my house.) Guess I was too busy with other things at the time. You already own "Back In '72" on cd? That's a hard one to find on vinyl, let alone on cd. In all seriousness, I didn't even know it was reissued on cd. You were debating on buying the vinyl album from 80's AOR/melodic rock band Fortune, and I see you didn't pick it up. The biggest hit from the album is a minor Hot 100 pop hit, the power ballad "Stacy" (went Top 80.) It might already be available on cd via Rock Candy Records. Too bad you came across a marred copy of "The Completion Backwards Principle." Hope you can find another one elsewhere.
A lot of those glam metal cd's stashed in the metal section are more hard rock than they are metal, imho. Love Tesla, but never really thought of them as metal. Did you find any Leatherwolf in with the metal cd's? Good triple axe heavy metal band from Orange County. Their UMG back catalog albums are super rare and hard to find.
Absolutely floored you didn't swipe that Fortune vinyl, easily the best thing you shared (by a mile) in the video and an absolute steal at $3.00.
I see everyone commenting on the "amazing" pricing at that store, but oof, at least a half or better where record club, punch outs or otherwise damaged, and still overpriced and that overprice wasn't special it was across the board. smh.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd album you need is Gold & Platinum, but you probably knew that.
All that aside, appreciate the videos and sharing your passion.
Everyone loves to thing things are priced cheaper somewhere else. But there is context to everything and why these are good prices.
Just got that double cd of Bryan Adams the other day
Cool store! Great prices!
So cool Brandon thanks I love thses .
17:25
Yeah, sad that Frampton fell off the map hard by 1980, became very uncool for teens and 20 somethings by then, though Comes Alive classics a staple on classic rock stations all through the 80s
By 1980+, more albums were recorded straight to 3M, Soundstream or Sony digital recorders in the studio, from the mics, so imo, may as well get the CD vs vinyl.
By 1985+, most albums recorded and mixed digital (DDD for oldskoolers)
Don’t think this album has been issued to CD. And it’s certainly not able to be streamed. But the vinyl was more for me to try it out. I’m not hung up on how it was recorded, only that it was.
@@BrendonSnyder thanks for the heads up. I'm also format agnostic assuming clean good vinyl pressing, or if it's the only format available
