I love PREX. Best stored Ive ever been to. Thank you for so many great music hunting days there haha

[@Salmonero79]

I´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. And i can´t wait to visit your store again. I've been there twice, last year, March 2012 and in May 1995 it was my first time. i still have those precious records, and the magnet bundle of your store on my refrigerator. Thanks a lot people!

Where I worked in 1980. The store was smaller location at that time, on Nassau Street. Most of the product was kept upstairs and displayed downstairs, so I did not sit around "grading" used vinyl all day (above my pay scale). My back got a workout. I look back fondly on those summers in the attic of PREX (NJ in meltdown). Over 30 years later, I still have hundreds of records in their poly sleeves with the Record Exchange logo in my collection. That was what I usually got paid in (my choice).

Lucky you!

[@tonifrancis2189]

my favorite store in America!

[@wheatonna]

First visited in fall 1984 at the Nassau Street location. I was looking for Freddie King records. Seeing this makes me miss NJ.

[@MrStewbee]

It was the greatest place on earth for me when i was collecting vinyl. I have over 7000 ,most from PRC. The best.

[@DetroitLives313]

I use to shop at the Princeton Record Exchange back in the 80's when I lived in Philly. Great store, had everything!

[@FanOfFab4]

Thanks for posting this

[@ForTheRecordaudiophileMichael]

looks to like an amazing record store, "save the vinyl and crate dig"

[@balearicsoundwave89]

looks a great place,i agree 100% with what they say about records. its more than just buying the music,its the searching,meeting like minded people.im from england and these kind of places are fading fast.makes me sad.

[@djtrishm]

great story!

[@PrincetonRecords]

Sorry, we do not carry VHS or any other tape format. Can only assume phone problems...we are friendly folks who don't hang up on people on purpose :)

[@cheerleadrheartbreak]

Asked if they had VHS and they hung up. Website says they have all formats of video and music.

[@gowanis]

[@Econojam]

[@1m2a3t4t5]

very good

[@abcd-uz6sn]

I never been there.great video.I must go.from my.

[@Ronjohn73]

I am a long time customer and love the Record Exchange. The only thing I do not understand is why in last few years have they written prices and grades on some of the labels of their lower-end LP's. If a record is already VG condition, you don't need to make it VG Minus by writing on the label. Highly unnecessary. Other than that, LOVE THE PLACE! FANTASTIC!

[@jakesanders8795]

Best store ever.

[@aaronaaron6348]

Jake Sanders number one record store in Princeton

[@PrincetonRecords]

A few wander through, but we don't specialize in metal. If you're close by, come on in and check us out, but we don't recommend making a trip if that is your main area of interest.

[@aaronaaron6348]

Princeton Record Exchange greatest store in Princeton

[@FanOfFab4]

Next subscriber to this page will be number 1000! I just missed it!!!

[@PrincetonRecords]

!! :)

[@djobjet]

Regular customer since they were on Nassau St., by the Dinky.

[@wullok]

@TheOmegaeyes I knew the guy (not well). He was a friend of my friend. I remember his favorite music group was Squarepusher.

[@jeffreysmith4965]

I wish I wasn't 2000 miles away.

[@Orangeokie7]

Do you carry 90's Death Metal albums?

[@austin332322]

Can we buy from you online?

[@wullok]

why do you have a rule that the employees of your store are not to chat with the customers?

[@Orangeokie7]

Thanks, I'm about an hour and a half away. I may stop in sometime anyway

[@PrincetonRecords]

@HAPL0GR0UP Sorry, we have no idea what you are talking about. We are a friendly store with a friendly staff, and we talk to the customers all day long :) ...it's one of the things we like to do the most.

[@gsboss]

probably the worker that told you that so you wouldnt bore him with your opinion on music

[@wullok]

Maybe the manager got fired for not allowing people to talk to customers.

[@davidford7064]

yea aren't they soo friendly????

[@PrincetonRecords]

Sorry, no. We are a walk-in, bricks-and-mortar store only.

[@susanszabo2207]

i wont return to this store

[@Bluetrane100]

Great record store. If you are lucky enough to hit a newl-shelved collection in your area of interest, you will be a very happy person. Prices are very reasonable. As for the employees, they ignore me, and I ignore them. The store is really well-laid, so you hardly need them.

[@TheOmegaeyes]

@HAPL0GR0UP It might just be me but the many of the employees don't seem friendly and can be kind of snobbish. This is something I've noticed over the years so I don't think I'm off in saying this. I've been shopping there for at least 15 years and never felt the urge to carry on a coversation with anyone. This isen't everyone there mind you, I attribute it to the typical Jersey attitude. It is a good store overall, I'm not there to make friends afterall anyway, lol.
