Excellent Experience with TJ and Mike…read more TJ is thoughtful and courteous at all times. This is a busy store and I admire and respect anyone who can run such a challenging business. Mike's a big guy and my first reaction was, "I'm scared of him". Turns out he's a retired NYC Detective and once we started to chat, I found him to be charming and extremely engaging. I'm in the process of relinquishing my LP collection (I'm 72 and have a pretty big inventory). Hence, I'm a seller and not a buyer and yet I have been treated with respect and courtesy and was very happy with the transactions. Bottom line is that Mike (and TJ) are music lovers and that's why they do what they do. Highly recommended from a Hastings on Hudson resident.

I'd been in some time ago but don't remember the selection this good. Nice mix of new and well-priced used.

They also had a nice selection of bootlegs which you don't see very often. They sell books and clothing which for me usually means it's not a serious store, but Main Steet Beat is the exception. Great staff well laid out and popular, the store has a nice vibe plus Nyack is a fun town to visit with great restaurants and a rich history.

I was almost instantly given the warmest welcome by their three volunteers, Mark, Scott, and Tom. My first interaction was with Mark who gave me a separate tour of the Theatre and provided the inside scoop into the history of the building, how it was built in the 18000s and saved so that it wouldn't be torn town. I admired the building, and how they keep it preserved. The moldings on the wall were beautiful, the tiling, and the architectural design of the theatre was preserved for 300 years and is still running. I was also given a small peek into the old projector room that they don't use anymore. I didn't know this until now but this theatre is a favorite of my grandparents. I was also a fan of the DVD donation collection that they had in the shop. It's huge! They have plenty of genres for all ages and that's when I had a fun conversation with Tom about movies, and famous actors. If you take the time to stop and talk to them, they are pretty great. I found the movie I was looking for which is pretty cool seeing as the chances were slim but I was happy and purchased a few extras. Each DVD is around $2 but I don't know how much the records are. Scott is also really kind and personable as well and will answer any and all questions you have about music, the difference they make for the theatre, and where you can find them on social media. If you ever find yourself in Tarrytown and you're looking for a place to find good music and a really cool movie collection coming here is the best choice. That's the same if you would like to meet some really cool people who care a lot about the theatre and it's history. So please come browse, chill, donate, or even volunteer. You'll be glad you did.

Just note, that for some reason,…read more3/5 times I bring up a $2 record, one of the dudes in particular will say, 'oh, I didn't see that' or 'oh, that wasn't priced, where'd you find it,' and then charge you $10; it's all for the Theater, so, fine, but it sort of takes the fun out the dig or the search. These are not pristine records, they're donations. Either its' $2 unless marked' (as posted everywhere), or its '$2 unless marked, or possibly more when you bring a record up and the guy randomly decides he wants to charge more.' If it's the latter, the signs need to change.

As I walked down the main street, I saw a sign out on the sidewalk that said record shop. Being a fan of independent record stores, I've been to over 100. I quickened my pace to enter. When I walked in I was greeted very warmly by the proprietors. The shop is somewhat small but very well organized. I was asked what type of music I like. I said folk rock pop Bluegrass. Sandy the woman behind the counter pointed out the folk section. Phil showed me the new arrival section. He said that if there's anything that I want to listen to in the used section. Just pass it over and I'll be happy to put it on the turntable. There is a very good mix of all types of music: folk, bluegrass, rock, pop, country, soundtracks, jazz. As well as an 80s section. Along with an oddball section.that features, records by John Travolta, Don Johnson, among other oddities. There is also a box of new releases, along with some new releases behind the counter up on the wall. The prices of everything including the new releases, were very good indeed. There are plenty of great records to choose from. I chatted more with the owners of the store, about collecting used records, the market today for new and used vinyl and the joy of listening to records on a real hi-fi system versus the poor sound MP3 files. I've been to many many record stores as I said. But I'd have to say, Sandy and Phil were the friendliest and most helpful proprietors, of a record shop,that I have encountered in my travels. I picked up Chubby Checkers folk album quite a rare find.As well as a couple of folk albums, one from Eric darling the other artist TomScott. As well as Bob Dylan's brand-new album- Shadows In The Night, The store has been open for about nine months as of January 2015. My time in the store was fantastic. Both Sandy and Phil made my experience at the stores very special. . I'll be sure to return often, to pick up many more vinyl records to add to my vast collection. The store is definitely worth a trip from anywhere in the Hudson Valley
