Let’s Go To The Record Store #18 - Princeton Record Exchange (Princeton, NJ)

For this series I’ll be taking you with me through New York & New Jersey to various Music Stores. Sifting through CD’s, vinyl, and whatever else the stores have to offer. Then at the end I’ll un-bag the loot and discuss why I chose the ones I did. Come on…let’s go to the record store!

Brendan, love to see that you are a CD animal, your mate dives into ancient vinyl. Hmmm? Two sides of the musical animal species. Love the trip, and i understand the primeval enjoyment. Been doing it since im 18yrs old, now 67yrs! This week i found an incredible musiic cave here in Gold Coast Australia. Wish i could send you a video. LPs left, CDs right, 1000's. No order at all. The smell. Crazy guy owner. Found some bits n pieces... "heaven in hell". "Keep on rockin in the free world" 😜

You guys are awesome!! Brendon, you are surely the star of the show.........but Anthony is the superstar!!

Great visit, I wish shop owners had the same approach to selling CDs as Anthony does. Many UK independant record shops are no longer selling CD's and favour vinyl only. Surprised Brendon didn't already have Boulevard, its a great AOR record. The second one Into The Street is also as good. Shows there is still stuff out there to be found.

[@nicholaspyn]

I saw Rage support Marillion on two occasions the second time in tribute to their drummer John Mylott. Not only the first time Marillion played Kayleigh live but they named their track Mylo after him. I first heard of Nutz on a Damned bootleg of a 1977 Radio One concert where they deputised for the band. It wasn't until I got the Rock Candy reissues that I learned that Nutz and Rage were the same band.

[@BrendonSnyder]

It’s always cool when you find something like that out and it suddenly makes so much sense why you liked them both.

Eric Johnson - "A Via Musicom." One of my absolute favourite records of all time. Every guitar player should own it, just to constantly remind yourself how good Eric is, playing stuff that few others can duplicate.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I didn’t say I don’t know who the band is, I said people viewing might not know. And let’s be honest it wasn’t a huge hit climbing the charts and taking over radio. It’s not a song that is still played regularly on classic rock radio. At least not outside the tri-state area where the band is from.

Bad Company deluxe edition is a steal at $4. They price stuff to move for the most part. When I was there in 2016, there was little core catalog. I felt they must have underpriced the common classics and they were stripped bare of the more common Miles/Coltrane titles on cd.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I think the idea is, if the prices are good you’ll buy more and consequently they make more in the long run. It certainly worked on us yesterday! 😂

[@topographic1973ify]

As usual I really enjoyed this episode, these trips to the record store are loads of fun for me to watch. I believe that Starcastle album you looked at had a cover by Ed Unitsky. He's on Facebook and has done a bunch of really good album covers. I'm glad you picked up Tarkus, it's pretty crazy and really the one album that really wowed everyone when it came out. I have it on disc, but also original vinyl. I had a chuckle at Anthony looking like he shouldn't have bought so much. I know that "what have I done?" feeling. I walked out of one store in Minneapolis with 25 CDs once. I almost get sick about how much money I'd spent but it was all stuff I couldn't find anywhere else. That Saga album is really good. Still have my original vinyl of that.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha…yeah we had a blast! Even though I didn’t spend as much as Anthony, I was feeling the pain and having a “why did I do that again” moment as I’m buying lots from multiple record stores because like you said it’s all really hard to find stuff and I simply can’t pass it up. Only other collectors get us! 😂

@@BrendonSnyder I bought about 15 Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia albums at one time once, they were used and I talked the store into giving me a deal on them.

The remorse of not buying it is awful. You get home with the loot and all you can think about is the one that got away! I no longer live like that, a decision I made many years ago.

[@topographic1973ify]

@@anthonycoviello5166 yeah, I know that feeling well. When I was younger I would occasionally drop two or three hundred bucks a pop but I'm older and retired now so I have to be a little more careful. I also only buy pertaining to my personal tastes too; I'll try a group but if they don't really spark me I'll move on. Brendon and I have some mutual tastes but we also have some great differences. His collection boggles my mind even though I have a rather large pile of music myself. One thing we don't agree on is an all female Japanese band called Band Maid who I think very highly of. They're hard rock. There's also an all female power metal band called Lovebites. There are a bunch of other really good bands coming out of Japan. Wish I could be there to talk, there's almost no one to talk music with around here. I really like your store. Brendon can tell you a little bit about me as we're friends on Facebook. I may call to ask you some questions. Take care.

[@martythemusicmonster6772]

This weekend I went to 5 record shops on Saturday and a record fair on Sunday with a friend newly into vinyl and I bought 35 to 40 records big haul and we find out he was not a digger even though he enjoyed it and he bought new reissue vinyl maybe 6 but the point he made was to me I can get this stuff online from home without any effort but that’s okay as long as he is buying physical media But I like digging to try and find stuff like Aviary morning star Trillion Zon Styx Starcastle that is hard to find here in Australia and anything else that looks interesting.

[@davej.meister5421]

Some cool finds, as always. I own the Boulevard S/T (as BLVD) on vinyl and bought it for a buck at a flea market from a guy who moved to Ohio from Canada. Some really good songs. Good AOR/melodic rock in the veins of Journey or Loverboy with a bit of Mr. Mister, Glass Tiger or Cutting Crew included. Surprised you didn't pick up the Hammersmith album. Very rare record. I don't believe that has ever been reissued on CD, according to drummer Jim Llewellyn who has his own YT channel. He says he has been trying to get it reissued to CD but has had no such luck with it. I wish I was there. I so want that Kim Mitchell Akimbo Alogo album on CD. I own it on vinyl, and unfortunately, it's scratched and skips.

[@davej.meister5421]

Hammersmith was formed from the remains of another great Canadian rock band - Painter.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Dave! I didn’t know anything about the Hammersmith album when I pulled it out except it looked pretty cool. Thanks for the info on it.

[@davej.meister5421]

@@BrendonSnyder When KISS and Rush toured together in the mid 70s, Hammersmith (whose melodic hard rock sound is not much different than that of BTO or Grand Funk) joined the bill as an opener when the tour hit the band's (and Rush's) native Canada, according to Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson on Rockline years ago. Maybe Rock Candy has reissuing Hammersmith's S/T album to CD on its future agenda. Totally up RC's alley. Definitely needs a CD reissue.

[@chrisharper6088]

Dan Lowe from Hammersmith, released in 1983, an album under the title Prototype, which is an AOR classic, also included a musician called Brian Island who solo album was finally reissued a couple of years ago, but the Prototype is definitely worth picking up.

I wish everyone who owns an indie record store now had the same mentality as your friend there who owns Sound Exchange in regards to CDs and how it’s bad for business not selling them and how they pay the rent. All the indie record stores now cater to mostly vinyl it seems. Even the store I used to frequent is doing this now and is phasing out all their CDs. It’s come to the point I don’t even bother checking out any new stores and just buy whatever I want on Amazon because I don’t buy vinyl and CDs have suddenly become passé or uncool to all these indie record store owners.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Andrew, that’s all very true. The full length of that snippet that you heard was about the recent resurgence in CDs and how other stores are now scrabbling to add CDs to their stock. The hope is this catches on and is a real changing of the tide and CDs start a comeback the way vinyl has.

[@andrewmachado6988]

@@BrendonSnyder It’s a wait and see game I guess. I hope it does happen because I still think there’s a lot of people who only buy CDs and didn’t jump on the whole “vinyl resurgence” band wagon.

[@BrendonSnyder]

If they’re just buying “new” stuff they is still in print then yes I’m sure Anthony just orders a copy for himself. But what he bought while some was sealed, was still stuff that is out of print and very rare. So like the rest of us he has to hunt for it used too. And if no one brings a copy into his store then he has to go elsewhere. But bottom line, Anthony is a real music fan who enjoys going to record stores like the rest of us.
