[@captainbeyond7469]

Any store with the Sensational AlexHarvey Band is aces in the my book. Captain approved 👍

[@michaelgermano7084]

Seriously considering making the trip from Western New York. Thanks for the videos.

[@robmills537]

[@jimmycampbell78]

Yes! I agree Paul! I don’t think there is anything like this in the UK?

[@hssilva63]

Awesome video and store.

[@147decibel]

Also known as The Holy Grail! If I lived nearby, I would have to get a job in this place along with a staff discount card! Great video Brendon.

[@tinostabile3256]

Hi Brendon, thanks for the great visit. Always cool to see what you got i noticed some cool stuff. Love Saga. I noticed some cool box sets. The Jefferson Airplane Loves You would look good in my collection. Oh well one can dream, right.enjou the finds. God bless. Thanks again for the kid in the candy store moments.

[@RockStarParking10]

That place is amazing!

[@joelampo1]

I'm so glad you liked Sound Exchange bro. Its good to see that place get some recognition. Like many others , they got hit hard during the pandemic.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I wish I know about it long ago. It’s simply amazing.

[@markcloer2274]

Man, if you ever find yourself in South Carolina, there's a store here called Scratch N Spin that you would lose your mind over. Mind blowing selection.

[@King_Of_Dreams]

The whole selection of original KISS CD's, pretty cool! 😃

[@dsmith3351]

Hi Brendon . Great video and what a great store . I saw April Wine perform at the very first Monsters of Rock in Donington, and Graeme bonnet lives just up the road from me. Keep up the great work! Dave

[@robmills537]

Hi Dave missed the 1st Monsters of Rock because I went to the Reading Rock Festival that year but went the next year I'm sure when AC/DC head lined , a very long time ago now mate. Hope my memory is right about the years, keep on Rocking from Rob.

[@metalmat3651]

They have a record store chain of a handful of stores called Josey Records in Oklahoma and Texas that is amazing! They have such a huge collection I could literally spend days at any store going through it. It’s where I pick up the majority of my used Vinyl and CDs.

[@phrankzinatra]

Nice! I was previously going to ask if they do mail order, but my question has been answered.

[@topographic1973ify]

I would just about kill to go to that store. It's the way Rockin' Rudy's used to be like years ago. That is a GREAT store.

[@mrrandy1]

once again Brendon, this was so much fun.

[@GodivaGamer]

Store looks amazing. Great choices. 🙂

[@toms4442]

HEAVEN!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Completely!

[@michaelmurray8742]

A great video series. Do you ask the stores permission to film?

[@MrMetalminded]

Wow! That’s a great store!! I would love to find one here in Illinois. I do have a few really good used stores, but not new or rare stuff. Love hearing BÖC playing in the background!!

[@julistrauss870]

Hello to Noodle. This is only the 2nd time we've seen him since the move. Can he get up the stairs ok? I have cats, too. They all have wonderful musical taste, just like me. My kitties are all heavy metal fans!

[@greenalishi222]

Cool haul. I just got Powerhouse on LP. Seen it before thaught it was a regular comp. Its live stuff from Concerto the first thing the Ian line up did. With non LP stuff. Great listen. The Concerto stuff as far as I know is only on this. The rest has come out on CD. But with Painted Horse and Cry Free in the mix cool listen. Great vid. Cool store

[@paulkowalski7378]

Oh wow..HSAS Got that on cassette...love that album and forward thinking having some live tracks...maybe never released as studio versions..

[@BrendonSnyder]

No the whole album was recorded live with only some of the crowd tracks left in. And no there are no studio records of these songs.

[@paulkowalski7378]

@@BrendonSnyder Oh yes,my mistake...been a long time since listening to it....a couple of decades at least. Classic!

[@thehereliesmetalpodcast5779]

So glad sound exchange is still there, haven't been up that way in a while. Hasn't changed that much, but it does look a bit more organized than I remember it! Anyway, Brings me back to the good old days in the 90s! Great video

[@riverrat55]

Liked the Rob Halford box set, have 2 of the Fight CD's , those 2 are awesome especially "War of Words" is the best , thanks for another great tour , lol, liked the avaanche of CD's falling especially the Humble Pie you were looking for , lol

[@Venus_Isle]

Such a classic that Shadow King...

[@BrendonSnyder]

It’s a great album indeed!

[@gellargod]

Love Hallows Eve. That is my fave album by them!!! Rock on!!!!

[@johnrambo7630]

Good choice on the Mayfield cd. That album is solid, Mother England is one of my favorites on it.

[@MetalGreggNY75]

Brendon, don’t feel embarrassed when you pulled the Humble Pie box set & all the other box sets fell on you…..that would have happened to me but the shelf itself would have came down with them and possibly clock me in the process.🤣🤣🤣

[@motley123rock]

What a place that is ! Some great stuff. Special mention for Shadow King. An absolute classic. Vivian Campbell at his best.

[@michaelhenderson5946]

Agreement! A top to bottom classic! 😎🎸

[@yournamehere6002]

I used to go there regularly in the 90's. It still looks exactly the same, except when I first discovered it, there was room for the original owners' toy collection to be displayed. I did find a lot of out of print CDs there, and I'll bet there are still some longboxes down by the floor from back in the day. That Bob Welch Wounded Bird CD is out of print!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yeah I’ve been thinking about going back and grabbing it for just that reason!

[@mondoenterprises6710]

I'm 8 hours away from that store and I am tempted to go!

[@TheTop40hub]

I love that BTO record. Bring from the Vancouver area. The cover folds out to a 4 panel poster. Each band member is featured. Kind of a weird LP cover. Different for sure. Thanks for the video.

[@mrrandy1]

Timothy B Schmidt's single Boys night Out will always be one of my favorites.

[@dpk72]

Hey Brendon, love the series! How often do you find original West Germany target or Mercury Atomic logo cds out in the wild? Are they cheap? Thanks!

[@spiritwalker1988]

Hi Brendon, i would have loved to have bought that "Paris", you have to know. It's a really cool 70's hard-rock power trio !

[@melvincalladine8187]

WOW ime coming there for holidays 👌

[@Jimsbo]

I’m pleasantly surprised to see they’re still there as of 2022. You couldn’t really tell from anything shown that this is 2022, though (says a lot about today’s pop/rock market). I’ll admit I had just assumed they were put of of business along with the chains like Tower. The layout of the place hasn’t changed well over 30 years later. I spent plenty of time browsing there throughout the 90s, and built up a lot of my library from them. Best place I knew for imports and lesser known artists. It looks like they did away with the plastic cases the used to put CDs in. You would usually wind up getting a few finger jabs from the staples each visit.

[@BrendonSnyder]

The store was recently bought and has a new Owner. They’re working really hard to get the place organized and functioning a lot better. If you haven’t been in for a while you should stop by.

[@paulholmes4861]

Hi Brendon great record store you picked up a RSD Sweet album ! I was telling you some time back English glam rock band I was a big fan of them in the 70s a bit like Def leopard give them a listen paul ☘️Dublin

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m big into The Sweet as well. I own their entire catalogue including their newer albums. I even did a tribute for Steve Priest when he passed. That’s probably one of the reasons I really like the new Def Leppard album.

[@soldier7778]

That IMPELLITTERI EP is a cool one. I have the Japanese reissue on CD. Do you have any of their albums? They are currently working on a new album.

[@funkyp4rtyman249]

Create video 👍 first time I saw a small clip of a prince vinyl on your videos very cool, don’t you like Prince also ?

[@catherine6653]

Thanks for letting us know they ship.

[@jaredl.8465]

Such a great shop -- and a double shot of Cheap Trick! Robin's solo album (really good). And 'Standing On The Edge' (1985) which most people have probably never heard. I have a signed copy of that album, because CT did a record store event. On the back of SOTE, they misspelled Rick's name (Nelsen vs. Nielsen). Lastly, that Riggs album is definitely worth checking out. They have 2 excellent songs on the 'Heavy Metal' soundtrack. Wounded Bird CD version of their album is OOP and BIG $$$. Thx, Brendon!

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Enjoyed the video.

[@kevin2400]

I’ll be there all day just looking through the Springsteen bootlegs

[@BrendonSnyder]

I know what you mean! 👍

[@neuropete1]

Brendon, you are going to have to go back to that store and pick up that Cure - Connect the Dots boxset. It is a great collection of B-sides! The Cure really have some great songs that were never album tracks. You won’t regret it… trust me. I have my copy and it is constantly played in my car.

[@JohnMacRae23]

Hey Brendon, looks like a killer store and within driving distance. Will check it out. Do they have a prog or psych section? One critique... when you pull the cds out, there is a little bit too much motion (motion sickness inducing)... maybe keep the camera back a bit and steady instead of following it so close up?

[@audreyjoclinton4416]

Hello Brendon. In your vast collection do you have any SACD's? Do they actually sound better than regular CD's and do you see any SACS in the record stores you go to. I have never listened to one myself.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yes I have some, yes they sound better, on occasion I see them but mostly they are just released in Japan.

[@davej.meister5421]

Did you ever find that Huey Lewis Picture This CD that you've been hunting high and low for in prior videos?

[@BrendonSnyder]

Not yet!

[@davej.meister5421]

@@BrendonSnyder Best wishes in hunting for it.

[@samhouston1979]

im surprised you didn’t buy the box set that caused the avalanche

[@danielmccullough7378]

6:55 picks up the Humble Pie box set then everything falls

[@lucasbeer353]

I wonder if they have old Voivod albums, Venom 'Temples of Ice' and 'The Waste Lands', Metal Church 'Hanging in the Balance', Dead End (Japanese band) first two records, Exodus 'Force of Habit' and Roxy Music 'Manifesto'.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

I may put in a call for a couple of Holy Grails I am looking for. Give the guys a BELO for a couple of elusive discs! lol.

[@ronbaker8383]

Son of a gun. Nothing I don't Allready have. I like record stores where you go through boxes. There is where that gem is at. I found a rare cd. Trans am fasten seatbelts

[@RJN0607]

Does it have records from the 50s?

[@gary6956]

I have a Sound Exchange near me (in Florida) but it has nowhere near the selection yours has. I am stunned by the amount of killer imports (Japanese releases, BGO, Rock Candy, etc...) and hard to find stuff they have. How they have so many Wounded Bird CDs is simply astonishing to me as I almost never see those anymore, new or used. My only (minor) complaint is that you somehow always skip over the Jimi Hendrix section, but maybe he's not your cup of tea? Would love to see what Sound Exchange has for his CDs.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Brendon has died and gone to Heaven with that store. I don't think there is a better cd store in the world for Brendon!

[@BeatUpRecordsCDs]

What a range on graham bonnet. Next time you go can you pass your camera over the Elvis presley section. Just so I can see the extent of CDs for Elvis. It would be appreciated 🙂

[@jeff901]

Did you know that when the owner of Krispy Kreme travels, he won't let anyone in his hotel room? There's always a sign on his door that says, "Donut disturb."

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha 😂😂😂

[@LongUB]

so cool

One of my favorite in this series is trying to figure out the song in the background.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Did you figure any of these songs out?

[@jaydoubleu3419]

do you notice that the record covers are smaller then from the 1970s and 80s also 90s and 2000s as to today

[@BrendonSnyder]

Record sleeve sizes have remained constant. But if you’re referring to format the cassette is smaller than the CD so from vinyl to cassette to CD things went smaller and got larger.

[@jaydoubleu3419]

@@BrendonSnyder it might just be me but when i bought a record from the 1970s or 80s it was bigger then it is now the covers look so small from today

[@bobby666666]

Yea, the music being played was great, but most stores wouldn't be playing it here in the UK. We have gone 40 odd years since the 70s and more modern music is played.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I know and that’s what drives me nuts. I love this store because not only is it set up in that old school way but the vibe of it fits the clientele and they play and discuss the same kind of music. It’s really like stepping back into the late 80’s and early 90’s.

[@timfaracy754]

They need new shelves for the heavy stuff.

[@BrendonSnyder]

It would seem so!
