Stumbled across this great small shop this week. It was a Saturday morning and it was hopping with tourists. The owner was friendly and helpful in locating what we were looking for. Some great surprises in the used selection. I'll go back again! read more

John is a great guy, I sold my vinyl and cd collection to him, as I must down size. The transaction went great, but the fun part was just bantering with him about bands like Killdozer, SS Decontrol, Agent Orange, etc. All the best for the future of Dyno Records! read more

I was super happy with what I found when I was shopping here, I love there selection of all certain genres and really obscure stuff which you don't see much of. read more

Always great inventory to dig through. Knowledgeable staff with eclectic taste. Always fun!

Nice little shop. Well organized. Very nice owner. Not quite as much HIPHOP/RAP as I'd like to see but i still found some gems. The mask policy is lame. read more

Great shop, new owner is very friendly and knowledgeable - she is awesome! Staff is always willing to help you find what you are looking for. A great place to spend time and bring your friends. Great restaurants nearby too. read more

LOVE this adorable record shop. Went there with some friends and got a couple really cool posters/pins/stickers. Owner is super cool and very well connected. Great place to explore, definitely recommend. read more

Great little record shop in Newburyport. I was a little skeptical when I saw that it was such a small space, but they have a fantastic collection here (tapes, records, CDs) and the man working that day was very knowledgeable and interested in helping me find what I was looking for! I will definitely be visiting again the next time I'm in town! read more

Dyno Records - Music & DVDs Near Me - Newburyport, Massachusetts

Popped in here for a quick look around. Like others on here, I have to agree that the guy working had zero personality. I tried to engage him in conversation but he wasn't having it. Not a great number of used LPs, and the prices were a little over the top for the minimal selection. read more

Small shop with a well-curated, above average selection. Decent indie/rock selection. Prices are a possibly few dollars too high, but not a huge deal. It's an independent shop, and one that's worth supporting. Well worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

They got a good selection for the size of their store. I'm a Soul and Disco collector and they don't have much of that. It's mainly Rock, Jazz and World. I'm big into hip hop and they did have a copy of my favorite artist MF DOOM's record Mmm Food. But it was priced a little high. Actually, that's one thing I didn't like about this store, everything was priced high. Sure the records were in excellent condition. But something you see everywhere for 5 or 6 bucks had a 20 dollar tag on it. Adversely, I saw a few records that I grabbed that I thought should be priced higher and were on the cheap. read more

I love these guys! They are very knowledgeable and are willing to look up any random thing you might inquire about! They might be small but they have a fabulous selection - they even carry vinyl and 8-tracks for you crazy old schoolers! (I know, I know! Vinyl is making a comeback. Got it.) Even if you can't stop in, take a stroll past the window just to check out the posters for upcoming shows. Though, I can't guarantee that you would be able to resist going inside... Enjoy this small-town gem! read more

Dyno is an excellent local record store with a HUGE selction of jazz and world music. In recent years they have expanded their used cd's and vinyl considerably and are consistently getting new stuff in. They'll order anything in print and it comes in in a few days. Here, you get a chance to discover new things especially if you have a chat with anyone working there. It's expensive due to the volume and location (downtown Newburyport always comes with a higher pricetag) but worth it to know you're supporting local business. PASS read more

Don't let the size of this record store sway you away. I've been going to Dyno Records for many years. I'm fairly local and love the place. It offers classic jazz music all the way to iron maiden. If your like me and are into multiple different styles then you will most definitely enjoy this record store. read more

Love going to this place - pretty decent record selection for the size of the store. Prices are comparable to amazon prices for vinyl. The few people we have met behind the checkout counter have always been very nice! They also have a few clearance bins that have $1 albums which is fun to look through :) read more

Have enjoyed this store, off an on, for years. We live 30 m away so maybe once or twice a year. Upon entering the store today, we were the only customers and the owner ignored us. Ok. Fine. But then we approached him and mentioned it was my wife's birthday and we drove here to go specifically to the restaurant next door, but it was closed just today for repairs. We asked for a recommendation and he said, "buy her some music". No "happy birthday" and NO recommendation on a restaurant. Dude, get over yourself and be friendly. My wife was on the phone checking other restaurant reviews and I had this feeling he was pissed and was getting an attitude thinking we were just noting what we would buy online later which was not the case. i love CDs and won't go back here. read more

This record store is a hidden gem in Newburyport. I love checking in and seeing what is new in the used section as well as what records were released recently. Very helpful staff and a fantastic selection of new and used records. If you are looking for something special or a new release they can help you out! read more

Great shop. Nice variety of used and new. Also handy that they sell guitar strings. It's not very common to find a record shop that has a good selection of new vinyl AND a good selection of used stuff at a variety of price points. You can easily walk in there and buy some must-have records for ~$20 and then grab a couple of cheap impulse finds as well. Sure better record stores exist, but I can't think of one within an hour or so of Newburyport. Definitely a must-stop if you're in the area and like vinyl. My only real complaint is the goofy tourists who stumble in there. I can see why the owner might have an unfriendly rep. I wouldn't be able to take it. read more

Selection is average but no dogs allowed inside OR tied out front of his shop. Actually put some items I was going to purchase back on the shelf when he told me that and left. read more

I can't imagine why anyone would rate this place less than 5 stars....well, okay, if you're looking for" yard sale" vinyl, I guess you might want to try somewhere else. Dyno has THE BEST selection of new vinyl on the North Shore. I like Newbury Comics, but Dyno is just better. Where else can you leave with The Black Eyed Peas AND the Woody Guthrie remasters? read more

We were not impressed. Puny selection of vinyl. Overpriced CDs. Annoying kids behind the counter ("whisper whisper whisper TEE HEE HEE HEE!! Whisper whisper whisper") Not to mention the freaks of nature looking through the vinyl shouting out "BLUE BROTHERS! HA!" You mean BlueS Brothers, you weirdo. Ugh. read more

It seems the owner thinks he works for the division of motor vehicles, such is his lack of commitment to customer service. Seriously, someone needs to let this guy know that he's running a small business and, well, customers deserve respect. I live locally and want to have a record store in town but I just can't give my money to this guy. read more

LPs very cramped and expensive. The man with the gray hair is not friendly and is snippy. You can do much better elsewhere. When I buy something in a store, I am very polite and not demanding. If you own a store and deal with the public, you have to be a little nicer than this guy. I would rather buy online than put up with his horse**it read more

Love this store. I come in quite often! I absolutely love coming in because you can have really great conversations and learn a ton about music when you talk to the really nice guys and girls that work the front desk here. They have a great selection of music, and the best prices. They also really know how to look after second hand records. Never encountered what the one star review guys are talking about. They should go in on another day.. Love this place than most of the records stores I have been in. read more

The best in-stock selection of jazz, blues, and folk I have ever seen! They can order for you anything not in stock in the store; if it's not in print, they'll track down other ways of getting the tunes you are looking for. For true audiophiles, an impressive selection of vinyl to boot. Throw in some eclectic world music and this place is like nothing else around. (Not to mention guitar strings and picks, and a small stock of supplies for the musician) My ONLY store for music shopping. read more
