This is definitely one of the newest & coolest record stores to pop up in northern NJ in quite some time! They also have a lounge just past the front register where anything from live music to listening parties take place every now and again. Thanx for showcasing this newest jewel in NJ.
Whoever’s doing the background music has excellent taste! Would love more stores like this in the UK, other than HMV there’s not much and definitely nothing with such well laid out used vinyl. 👍😬
That is exactly what I was thinking! Squeeze, Men at Work, Steely Dan and Gerry Rafferty! Love it ! You must have been at that store for a couple of hours, sheer bliss.
Was just about to comment on that. Great overhead music. I’d stay there all day. It doesn’t always go that way for Brendon, which is why he wears headphones for these trips. This time, not needed, lol.
Hope that someday you'll get to check out Tarney/Spencer Band. This British/Australian rock/power pop duo featured singer/songwriter/producer Alan Tarney, who produced for many 80s new wave/synth pop artists, like A-Ha and The Dream Academy (he co-produced the latter's 1985 S/T debut with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.) TSB's two A&M albums Three's A Crowd (1978) and Run For Your Life (1979) both hit the lower reaches of the Billboard 200 Albums chart. Both of these albums are on CD, but they're super rare, expensive and hard to find. Unfortunately, you cannot stream these albums, either. TSB is best known for the 1979 album rock radio hit "No Time To Lose," which has an arena rock sound/feel to it.
Love that Tarney/Spencer LP, Run For Your Life. It did get some FM radio airplay in 1979, and the LP is usually easy to find and inexpensive, so it makes for an excellent buy. Every song is above average to excellent..
@@4tuneagent I own RFYL on vinyl. Bought it used for $2 at a used record store. Vinyl is totally clean. Wish I could get it on CD for a halfway decent price. Either Rock Candy or UMGJ should reissue the TSB A&M albums on CD. "No Time To Lose" is likely the hidden gem that Brendon hasn't heard, yet. Or maybe he heard it once before in the past, and he might have forgotten all about it because of all the great new music that came out at the time and excited him more than a cool obscure late 70s song did.
@@BrendonSnyder aw that’s a shame! I’m a Zappa freak… but I give you a pass here because I’ve been a follower of your channel for quite some time, and you do have otherwise great taste. Love what you do on the channel bro. 🤘🤘🎶🎶
Great video Brendan. Wish we had stores like that in the UK. I was on holiday a few weeks ago in New York and made a point of visiting Bookoff as I remember you shooting videos there when you lived in the city. I bought a couple of CDs there but wasn’t overly impressed with some of their pricing and the choice on offer. Have you been there yourself recently?
Amazing a cd from Andys records.Andys was a small independent chain in Suffolk England from the 70 S TO THE EARLY 2000S got all my stuff from them.Really funny to see there sticker in the USA.Keep up the good work
I enjoy that you will always throw on these "this my favorite album from such & such" I've noticed a lot of the time its later releases after the critics & the public have written a band off. I'm a completest so if I like an artist I have to own it all & sometimes I'm surprised by releases that have come after the hits have vanished. Proving that the fickle nature of the buying public has denied many a great artist or album a fair shot.
Said it many times,you're spoilt for quality record shops in the U.S. especially in your local area Brendon. One day I'll get there hopefully,never been to The States.
I definitely prefer the Ace Frehley solo album from '78....I think everyone was surprised at how good it was at the time. His album wasn't expected to be the best of the four solo albums.
I about spit out my drink when I saw that flash across the screen . Nobody likes that Peter Criss album. Most people returned it as being defective, and no one could argue with them.
For some reason (probably because I was 12 and had limited disposable income), I didn't get any of the four solo albums when they came out in '78. It was many years later when I found a copy of Ace's album on CD and really started getting into it. I do remember that Gene Simmons even said in an interview that he thought Ace's was the best.@@overtheedge4711
Hi Brendon, from here in Western Australia. There was a time here when every shopping centre had numerous record stores to browse through. Much to my wife's frustration, they were always my first port of call any time we went shopping. Since streaming killed of so may record stores, there are only a couple of dedicated music stores in existence here. The nearest one to me is nearly 30 miles away, consequently, I buy everything online. I would be in seventh heaven if there was a store like that here.
I remember that Kinks album when it came out...sure wish they would make some new music this year. I know Ray Davies made a solo album a few years ago.
Brendon I think your let's go to record store series is sinking in on me today I was in for Guns n Roses so I picked Appetite for Destruction and Duffys sole album Lighthouse thanks love all the tips my goal in 2024 is buying 75% at local store 25% online let's keep are local store going ❤😊 😊❤
Cool store. I Can't believe you didn't buy the fly on the wall AC/DC shirt. I actually still have a shirt from the actual concert way back in the day!!
Thanks for the video. I own a copy of death wish on cd but it is a russian fake, but it looks acceptable. It is a good album too, those japanese cds were expensive on cd and I guess they still are today. Have a great day.
The Eric Clapton cd, had a sticker of Andys Records, haven't seen that for years, this was a UK based record shops, mainly in the east of England, I spent much of my youth in the Bedford branch in the High Street, flicking through the vinyl, they moved to larger premises in bedford with the advent of cds, originally a market stall, finally succumbed to market pressures and fell by the wayside years ago, very strange to see a cd with the Andys Records sticker in the US
Excellent video again always cool seeing these places. Love the selection that this has and also the pricing is good I am sure there are some overpriced stuff but again nothing is as bad as NYC with Book Off the only credit I can give them now is that they re organized and now the cd dvd and vinyl is downstairs and properly organized but WAY overpriced good lord. This video I saw you holding things that were used 4.95 that here are 9.00 and up for used are you kidding me, and my recent walk in to Book Off though once again I bought nothing there and haven't in probably a year, they had the new stones, used, the DigiPak version that had the bigger book which I got new from Barnes and Noble for 16 they had used for 26.99 lol. And since it's a cardboard packaging their giant price sticker ruins it, so again they have totally taken advantage of what they can get because of nothing else around pretty much. Another thing I like in your video is the space you have to move, here in NYC not one store has space at all mainly because of rents probably but even though the ones I buy from or shop around most, none have any space to move. So to me thats part of why I will search more and buy more if I can move a little more. But again sorry to rant/ramble happy new year and keep the videos coming
Whenever I find a used CD with a return address sticker on it, I always wonder what they were thinking leaving that on the CD when they sold it. I'm sure it's just laziness (not wanting to peel them off), but still...
Yeah, UK not great from for record stores outside of biggest cities. Exception is Cardiff which has the oldest record shop in the world … Spillers which is fantastic
Unfortunately Jimmy Page only scored very few movies. I really like his scores for the second and third Death Wish films. The british director Michael Winner always had a pretty good taste when it came to his composers. Death Wish 1 for example was scored by Herbie Hancock. Also pretty cool music. But most often Winner worked together with the late Jerry Fielding who is one of my all time favorite composers. He had a very uncompromising style that was perfect for those gritty 70s films. Check out his scores to The Wild Bunch, The Mechanic, Lawman, Chato`s Land, Straw Dogs and Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia. Great stuff.
It was. I was at this same shop earlier in the week - because I had seen another video of his where he had gone to it and before that, I never knew it existed (and it’s only about 45 minutes from me!).
Hey Brendon, hope you had a great Christmas! Liked that you showed the Mad Season album there. I’m a huge Layne Staley/AIC fan. Something I’ve been meaning to ask…hopefully not a dumb question or something I should already know….is Anthony’s band named after the song on that Mad season album?
Wow. $16 for USED Born In The USA? They know there's like 5 million copies of that floating around, right? It's literally $10 new on Amazon right now. hahaha
HI Brendan I don't know if you'll see this but I'm looking for a particular RATT record its there first ep made in France by music for nations but here's where it gets a bit difficult its in red vinyl so I don't know if you've ever seen this before. If you would know where to get that I'd really appreciate any and all help finding this. Thank you.
@@BrendonSnyder ok thanks... a lot of the others for $2.95 & $4.95 have been long out of print too though... and the Springsteen one is always in print - I think it's gonna be there a while if they don't lower that price LOL
Don't care for her music but she is smoking HOT! Say what you want about her but is prolific artist unlike way overhyped Kiss, Ozzy, Motley Crud, Aerosmith that still living on their thirty year ago + glory days; trying to tour "one" last time or re-re-releasing greatest hit cds with one new track. 🤮 Edit #1: Sorry to ramble on as got to run off to buy the Beatles "new" greatest hits w/one AI track put together by only one of the original members. Overhyped anyone?
@@briankessler3501 well I haven't bought anything released by any of those artists post 1995 but I did like and did buy Ozzy's Patient Number Nine album the other year as I thought it might be his last, and I thought it was good. In contrast, a modern pop artist I do think is excellent is Dua Lipa. I think she's underrated compared to the likes of Taylor, and, if it matters, I think she's hotter too. I wasn't just saying Swift is overrated compared to dinosaur rock acts. I think she's overrated and overhyped compared to anything else that's 'current' too.
@@jimmycampbell78 Agree 100% as Taylor Swift is overhyped and certain Dua Lipa's music is better. And Dua is more my type also, lol. Taylor is safe for mainstreet America though, white and blonde thus the media hype. Have a blessed New Year and be safe.
Thank you for doing your show 🎉❤

That Rockin' Horse album you've been eying is one of those disco-flavored rock albums. This band is from the mid 70s.
That Oz Fire In The Brain was a kick ass album. Played it constantly back in the 80s
The Gowan album brings back some fond memories. I love the song Moonlight Desires with Jon Anderson (YES) doing back-up vocals.
Yes! Being from Ontario Canada I’m actually a personal friend of Larry’s. And Yes, as a Yes fan love the Jon Anderson connection!! 🤘🤘🎶🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love that I can hear Uncle Remus by Zappa in the video haha. Great video dude… keep up the cool content 🤘🎶
Ahh…that’s why I didn’t like it 😂😂😂. I’m only a cursory fan of Zappa, liking just his occasion instrument number. But he is very talented.

I wish I could find a store around here with beautiful 80's era CDs like that.
Murmur! Really starting to appreciate early r.e.m. more as i get older.
Brilliant work
Said it many times,you're spoilt for quality record shops in the U.S. especially in your local area Brendon.
One day I'll get there hopefully,never been to The States.
That Ringo Starr album is my favorite album with him so very Good
It was really good music that was played in there....I love that song "I"m Not In love" by 10cc, no matter how many times I have heard it.
Wow, that's crazy when you first walk in!
You wouldn’t believe it, but I have 155 eight track tapes that I bought over the years, and I also have 255 cassettes in my collection!!
Very cool
Great album
I definitely prefer the Ace Frehley solo album from '78....I think everyone was surprised at how good it was at the time. His album wasn't expected to be the best of the four solo albums.

Looks like an awesome place! Wish i lived closer!
i wish there were still record stores nearby…closest thing would be Half Priced Books in a city 60 miles away
Sponge is pretty cool…particularly that album. i love the “molly (sixteen candles)” song
If that cool “RECORDS” sign looks familiar, it used to hang outside the former iconic record store in Fords, NJ, Vintage Vinyl
Looks to be a cool place, thanks for putting me onto Lucifer I picked up their 4th album they are a fantastic band
Have a great new year
The Eric Clapton album has the first song I ever heard with him it's Called Let It Rain I still Love it today
That is definitely Ringo’s best album
I remember that Kinks album when it came out...sure wish they would make some new music this year. I know Ray Davies made a solo album a few years ago.
Thanks!
Great video Brendon. Wish we had shops around here like that. Everybody closing down here in Kansas.

That Foghat album, Night Shift, is my favorite by them, also. The next one you looked at, Energized, is pretty damn good, too.
That Great White vinyl is so hard to find. It took me forever to find it on any format. I have it on cassette and cd but need the vinyl.
I was there earlier that saturday lol.
Cool store. I Can't believe you didn't buy the fly on the wall AC/DC shirt. I actually still have a shirt from the actual concert way back in the day!!

Price on new cd i over the top these days, Bruce Springsteen Born in the Usa go for 18 dollar here in Norway, a new one.
I have gone to Factory a lot, and they unfortunately price everything higher than they should. I go but have never purchased anything.
I haven’t seen you visit Book Off in a very long time.
They raised their prices to an obscene level and downsized their music section considerably. Not worth going to anymore.
@@BrendonSnyder thanks Brendon 🤟

That AC/DC live album was a mess the way it was put together. Wasn’t a patch on the energy and power of their first one.
Can you show some of the box sets in theses videos?
Lotus Eaters
Peter Criss? Ace had by far the best solo album 💿 n my opinion. Pete was probably last.
Over the years Peter’s has grown on me. I may even rank it just ahead of Genes now but neither comes close to Ace and Paul.
Ah, I did wonder if it was THE Jimmy Page who made the music. That Oz album is a real cult one here in Sweden!
I would love to see Styx with Dennis DeYoung just one more time....maybe 2024 will be the year they will reconcile??
