Let’s Go To The Record Store #24 - Vinyl Addiction (Arlington, NJ)

[@andregroarke5833]

Another cool video from you Brendon, as living in the U.K not many record shops around these days. I will be visiting N.J on Monday and will be looking in on these great record shops.

[@macnorton]

I am a regular there and for a small shop there is a LOT in there. Dave, the owner, is a very cool dude and is always up to chat or make a deal. If you love metal, especially in thrash/black/death, there really is no place better. Also for non-locals, North Arlington and Arlington are the same place. It is fun NJ mail address nonsense that makes it confusing.

[@DizJakeOG]

I could watch these everyday! I miss getting to go to record stores. There's none around me at all. I love all kinds of music too!

[@BrendonSnyder]

I feel for you man! I’ve been in the same boat in the past. I’m very thankful for all the new stores I’ve found since moving.

[@RockStarParking10]

Some great finds Brendon, Arc of a diver is stellar!

[@jaredl.8465]

That Cheap Trick 'Found All The Parts' on vinyl and the Scandal EP definitely caught my eye. Looks like another cool shop where you can expand your collection.

[@jazzpunk]

I still have the Scandal EP...band I played in covered "Goodbye To You".

[@tapanim6576]

A very nice looking record store. Great finds.

[@JJ-ez3tr]

Great pick up on Arc of a Diver. I would have grabbed that Cheap Trick Found all the Parts with the bonus 7 inch. That is awesome!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yeah I almost did too, but I have the tracks on CD and didn’t feel like duplicating even though this is the original format.

[@DarthPizza777]

I miss going to my record store (Zees Records) it closed down. Watching you go to record stores makes me feel like I haven’t lost that experience. Ty so much for taking the time do such amazing videos. 😃🎸🎧🤘

[@frankhiggins9408]

I never new you had records bro dig the room 🤘

[@noahhaynes1917]

Looks like another one to hit up when I come to NY/NJ in 2024 including Princeston (I think that's the one from the top of my memory) and Sound Exchange

[@BrendonSnyder]

You should also hit up Factory Records in Dover. I’ve made a video about my favorite NJ record stores that will post later this week.

[@noahhaynes1917]

@@BrendonSnyder ahhhhh think I remember that one from memory and thought it was good but wasn't on my mind at that point, have to watch it back over again

[@gabbbbbriella]

That’s a great store! I was just there yesterday.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Maybe we crossed paths…I filmed it yesterday.

[@GeorgeJohnson-nw7dn]

There's a band from France named "Phoenix". Weird. Came along much later...

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yeah different territories can use the same name. Copyrights don’t extend to the world, just the territory they’re in.

[@carltwidle9046]

Brendon I read it like you are saying that you have a vinyl addiction issue. But you were talking about the stores name.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha…yes that’s true too!

[@jademccrea6392]

Another awesome video bro

[@moviejohn75]

Wow I could spend hrs in this place wish I had one that filled like that around where I live

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m grateful to live somewhere that has a lot of cool record stores. I do count my blessings.

[@frankcantelmi245]

great video Brendon i got excited when the cds were shown

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m the same way! They’re my primary interest.

[@steveandemmafrost2282]

Great records in that store.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Lots of good stuff to be had!

[@speedking4951]

Another great record store tour! Need to add some Deathrow and Molly Hatchet to my collection. Cheers 🍻!

[@barrygroenewald7402]

You lucky devil! Being able to visit record stores, what a pleasant way to bide your time. Salute!!

[@pez7031]

That Brian Wilson in the longbox is crazy…some longboxes already opened with no CD go for big money on eBay.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’ve got a Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood long box from when I bought it in 1989. But of course the CD is out of that one since I played it. I used to keep all of my long boxes until I hit a few hundred and had no where to store them. Also around that time they started phasing them out. I think at this point I have about 10 left. But they’re always fun to find. They bring back great memories.

[@cdman40]

I have beautiful feeling on CD but 9:52 had a hard time finding it.

[@paulburns3788]

Hello Brendon how are you doing I'm just asking do you like jazz music I grew up listen to Jazz then I got into country but no more in country then I went to rock music

[@BrendonSnyder]

I appreciate it but don’t really listen to it.

[@relayernj]

Have you checked out that book store in Montclair that sells records? It's right in the center of town on Bloomfield Ave. I haven't been there in years, but if it's still there, it was decent. Victor

[@MetalSamantha]

I could have spent *so* much money in here! (My tastes run heavier than yours, but I still enjoy your videos)

[@fabbrunette]

Vinyl Addiction is great. Def worth a trip - or 10 !

[@BrendonSnyder]

Many trips for sure!

[@davidtrahan3062]

Hey how was that album “Phoenix in full view “? I would have definitely rolled the dice on that album aka gambled and pick it up for a chance to hear it 😊

[@BrendonSnyder]

Turned out to be really good. I’m glad I took a chance.

[@jazzpunk]

@@BrendonSnyder ...you mentioned Russ Ballard as a back-up singer. The guy from Argent?

[@BrendonSnyder]

That’s the name on the back of the LP…unless there is another singer with the same name, I’m guessing it’s the Argent singer.

[@maxslamer]

@@jazzpunk Phoenix bass player Jim Rodford and drummer Bob Henrit were both in Argent along with Russ Ballard (and Rod Argent, of course). They both also were longtime members of The Kinks later (Rodford 1978-1996, Henrit 1984-1996). Jim Rodford also was a member of The Zombies (with Rod Argent) in 1968 and from 2001 until his death in January 2018. Source: Wikipedia (and not my memory, to me Phoenix is a newer, french band :) ) But I do have Argent, Russ Ballard, The Zombies and The Kinks in my CD collection.

[@4tuneagent]

@BrendonSnyder He also wrote the song, "Since You've Been Gone " , which was a hit for Rainbow, but check out the version by Head East, an earlier cover which is better and more rockin', IMO..

[@cdman40]

Also have the Winwood and the self Titled Winwood on cd as well as the self titled Brian Wilson.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Good scores. Nice store!

[@BrendonSnyder]

👍

[@jazzpunk]

Cool store, cool stuff. I see some that I recall getting on Xmas...1973 - Captain Beyond's 2nd album (which I did not like in the day. Have come to like it...really has a Santana vibe on some tracks). HEAVY CREAM was an Xmas LP, as well. The Doors' ABSOLUTELY LIVE. Mine is the original artwork, a live shot of the band. Still have these, my CB LPs are framed.

[@4tuneagent]

Thought you might score that Captain Beyond, 2nd album.. Excellent record. How was that priced?.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I own it on CD.

[@4tuneagent]

@BrendonSnyder Likewise.. the vinyl I got in the early 80's.. love it.

[@BeholdTheVision]

How many times have you passed by that Adam and The Ants record ?!? haha Kings and Prince are great albums.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m glad you enjoy the album. I’ve tried his work in the past and it didn’t click with me.

[@festersuncle6298]

Brian Wilson is a wonderful album. Kind of goofy in the 80's.....but appreciated now.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I love the 80’s!

[@mlbolts72]

That was a cool record store Im slowly building my collection . 🎧📻💿

[@RVALMAT]

Rick Springfield was an important part of my teenage back in the early 80s. I still keep my vinyl records of Working Class Dog, Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet, Living in Oz and Hard to Hold (soundtrack). Great memories! Working Class Dog has the bombastic hit Jessie's Girl, but IMO Living in Oz is a much more mature album.

[@davej.meister5421]

Didn't you have a copy of Steve Winwood's 1977 S/T album in your hand in a previous LGTTRS video? You might want to go back and see if that's the one. It looked like it might be that. According to Discogs, that is his official solo debut LP.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yeah I probably did in the past. But I’m sure it’s gone now.

[@donsavignano4396]

Speaking of Molly Hatchet when you were living in Florida, did you ever encounter any gators?

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yes on occasion.

[@JoaoMendesProducoes]

That sepultura cd and a bin with cannibal corpse, looks like a great store!!! 🤘👌

[@BrendonSnyder]

Lots of cool Metal…especially on record.

[@johnbrentford5513]

How is there anything Metel you don't have?

[@BrendonSnyder]

That’s why I didn’t pick anything Metal up.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Arc of a Diver was my highschool favorite lp. Still a great listen. Steve plays all the instruments and write the songs! That was Wilson's Eugene Landy lp where they later removed Landy off the credits. Landy a questionable psychotherapist was controlling Wilson's life at that point.

[@dimitriosmetalos]

Choices for everyone there indeed!

[@magnuswettermark8293]

Hydra and Hot Tuna is great albums. Have them both..

[@johnclementi4224]

Appropriately named, and conveniently located next to a check cashing establishment.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha…I didn’t even pick up on that! 😂😂😂

[@CurleyxD]

Deathrow great band!!

[@darrelking565]

Not as many CDs as you 😂

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha…that’s true!

[@robinsonishable]

Flotsam & Jetsom Vinyl Jason Newsted old band

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yep!
