easily the best record store in the entire state of new jersey. tons of hidden gems here! i walked in with no idea what i was gonna find and walked out with 3 records i've been looking for forever!

Vineet Shah

This place draws crowds from all over the tri-state area and beyond. You can find some great gems for under $5. Worth a visit even if you're not an audiophile.

Michael Fajardo

You pay a premium, but they have a great selection of vinyl .  I've been to record shops across the country , definitely one of the best.

David Holtz

One of the best record stores on the east coast - definitely swing by if you're in Princeton.

Michael Cosaboom

GREAT record shop . Coming here is an event - prepare to spend at least 2 hours digging through the bins and don't come with a plan because it will be spoiled within 5 minutes!

Great to just loose yourself in the stacks searching for hidden gems

In college I spent Saturday mornings combing the used stacks at this iconic indie record store . It also buys back used CDs, DVDs, and EPs. —Leigh Belz, features director

Alex Saretzky

Buy a record player just so you’ll have an excuse to come here and build a collection.

Michael Wells

Best place to find old movies and music . I can spend hours in this place. Good customer service.

Jon Pressman

Well priced used vinyl . Plus all the new stuff

Brian Sutow

Great prices on used CD and DVD. Even used records and video games

Susan

Be patient and be willing to dig through bins but you can find some awesome deals on CDs and DVDs . Plus they actually sell vinyl

Paul Suwan

Bring cash. If you spend $150 or more, I believe, they'll give you a 6 percent discount if you pay in cash (but only 3 percent if you use a credit card).

Tony Pennino

A reasonably priced mecca for those who love music and film .

Amanda M

Great place to shop and be a part of.

My absolute favorite record store ever.

Chris Marsh

I can stay there for hours. Don't go on your lunch break, you'll be late!

Old is having seen the PRE go from vinyl to CD and back to vinyl .

J T

Every city should have a PREX.

Holly "Butters" F

Sell your old CDs, DVDs and vinyl to PREX. They'll give you cash or a bit more in the form of store credit.

Keep your eyes peeled for James Murphy around these parts.

I'm not even sure what the point of a store like this is in the age of the internet ...

Tom Ballesteros

Death metal, thrash metal, black metal, oh my!

Christopher Knowles

There is a clerk here that looks like a broke-ass Dwight schrute.

Danielle Viering

Way disorganized. Not nearly as good as all of the reviews I read said.

Daniel Chesh

I think most people that come here don't shower . The whole place smells like b.o.
