The store was easy to navigate so you could find what book or genre you wanted to browse. I always love checking out how book stores setup their front tables and what types of books they are recommending. They have a few cafe tables out front if you visit during nice weather. Street parking and garages are all around, so you may have to do a loop or two, but overall you can find parking!

The Time Capsule happened to be in the area we were so we stopped in. Spacious. Clean. Array of different types of items. Great prices! (Check out that $1 bin of records!) We walked out with a venom action figure ($12) and a Little Golden book- Moana 2 ($6.)

Meh, I've got mixed feelings on this shop…read more On the one hand, it's a classic record shop with a large volume, particularly in the rock/classic rock category, but also decent offerings in jazz, soul, and blues. As mentioned, they do have some offerings of mint, unopened, newer indie releases. Prices are generally reasonable on their used stuff, though I wouldn't go so far as to say cheap (at least not for any good albums in decent shape). That said, I've certainly broadened my collection with a few good finds here and have appreciated its presence. Finding a gem or two is a usual occurrence here if you look hard enough. On the other hand, for me this shop lacks personality. It reminds me of the music shop in Low Fidelity, except there are no witty debates over what qualifies as "good music", and there's often not even any music being played in the shop. Recently when I brought some out of town music-head friends in for them to scour a bit, the owner was overheard talking shit about the customers. All in all, in a world of struggling or dying record shops (one that I preferred on Wickenden closed down about 2 years ago), its certainly a blessing that Round Again is still around. With it's lack of offerings in alternative genre's however, I often prefer some of the other record shops PVD has to offer: -SDC Audio and Video on Angell St. has a surprising volume of records and the owner is friendly and flexible. -Analog Underground and Armageddon on the West End are smaller, but cater to more indie and metal/punk respectively. All of these shops will be happy to throw on an album that you are debating about, or to put in an order for a request you haven't been able to find

The five star reviews must be either accidental or from family members trying to bump his rating…read moreup. This is the worst establishment I've ever set foot in. Before you even say a word to him he lets you know that he doesn't want you there and that you are a burden to society for trying to support a small (dying) business. Incredibly sarcastic and snarky. Overtly narcissistic. Heard that he makes comments to people about their appearance, while he's dressed like a character on Home Improvement. As an actual business owner myself (with five stars), let me tell you that this man doesn't care about running a business or building relationships, he just wants an outlet to talk down to people who are actually happy and have a life and a future or at least did something valuable with their life instead of sitting in a musty record store being overshadowed by the better, more highly rated business that's down the street. Don't waste your time with this place. The bright side is that this business is obviously on its last legs.

Falling for the trend, I had to get my hands on my own Labubu! Labubu is a small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth. Despite a mischievous look, Labubu is kind-hearted and always wants to help. Aren't they so cute? I hurried over to Newbury Comics and they had THE MONSTERS - Have a Seat Vinyl Plush Blind Box, THE MONSTERS - Exciting Macaron Vinyl Face Blind Box, The Monsters Coca-Cola Series Figures Blind Box, and The Monsters Lazy Yoga Series Blind Box behind the checkout counter. There is a limit of purchasing 3 of each type and no holds. A few hours later, I saw an update on the post that Have a Seat and Exciting Macaron Blind Box were sold out. I am so glad Newbury Comics carries these blind boxes and even have a whole Pop Mart section. I've also purchased hippers. Hippers are adorable decorative mini figures come with adhesive tape to stick onto your laptop, desk, phone, bookshelf, and more. I've stuck them on my monitor and my desk organizer. If you are on the hunt for THE MONSTERS blind boxes, follow @newburycomicsprovidence on Instagram and I'm sure you'll get it. They restock and post updates.

Frustrating experience, the store is a treasure trove of items full of books, jewelry, records,…read morepurses, you name it! There is stuff stuffed in everywhere with seemingly no organization. I spent a good portion of time sorting through records, enjoying the search however upon getting ready to check out, the owner had arrived and had the staff price out the records-which was frustrating that they weren't premarked (excluding the one I picked up that was marked $1.99 from a previous owner, then offered to me for $15) The owner proceeded to instruct the staff to charge the highest price for each of the record listings online, making what I had thought would be a fun thrift into a more expensive outing than planned. Ended up narrowing down to 3 records, mostly as Id taken up so much time having them find prices that I felt bad not getting them. Witnessed the owner be incredibly rude to customers who questioned prices, telling one person to get out when they questioned a $15 price tag for a paperback of to kill a mocking bird. There is value in vintage, I recognize that- however this shop was also selling a preowned shein cardigan for $22, which is pretty laughable, It's reasonable to set high prices for things Very cool store, but there's no need for the hostility towards customers who questioned prices.

Tons of new and used CDs, tons of used DVDs, used VHS, cassettes, collectible box sets and more. The only downside (for me) is there isn't that much vinyl. It's called Kangaroo CDs and Tapes so they do deliver what they claim in their name. They do offer special orders they can get anything available, there just isn't that much vinyl to browse. I'd totally suggest checking out the store because there is lots of great stuff and it's run by some good people! Plus any store that's still selling psychical media of music should be supported!!!
