    groovy.

    One word: 4 stars if it had a foot more space in its shoulder-width aisles... Jesus, if my coffin ever feels like that... But oh, the memorabilia. Which more than makes up for any temporary discomfort permanently, at least in this graveyard... Just remember to pause your gaze at the cool merch staring right back at you from all sides and try to focus on your elbows every now and then (or your bag's elbows you didn't know existed--mine has) in case, you know, you make that abrupt turn... Final word: Whether buying back a piece of your childhood memory is your thing, like my Hubby's, or your nostalgia is simply out on a whim, like my Hubby's, this is the spot in Asbury Park to start digging. It holds everything from books, comics, posters, vinyls to old toys and collectibles. I mean, everything from Scooby Doo, to He-Man, Ghostbusters, LoTR, horror figures and beyond are buried here. Again, Hubby digs here while I'm up two blocks away (at Rebel Supply) looking for gems myself... Though I try to accompany the guy for "approval"--to make sure there's actual space left in our little nest for his strange newfound baby(ies). Extra words: The graveyard is buried deep in the back of The Shoppes (at the Arcade) on the eastbound side of Cookman Ave. and across America's Cup. Happy digging! Seriously. Happy digging. Send out a loud yelp if you ever unearth Bionic Six. So far, we've only spotted Fluffy, as I like to call him, and no, I don't mean Hagrid's three-headed dog in Harry Potter. Okay, I have to go now--I mean, you have to go. Go see the graveyard.

    There are so many collectables! And new ones come in all the time.

    The vendors on the floor are kind and relateable. They'll talk music or culture or just leave you to your business, depending on your vibe.

    Found some great vinyl at reasonable prices. Found a Ziggy Stardust with very little mileage on it. Spent too much money lol.

    I know a lot of you here live quite far from Marine Park/Sheepshead Bay/Gravesend, but if you want…read moreused records, Zig Zag is the place to go. Luckily for me, I live in the neighborhood west of here. I've always ignored this spot for years due to the insanely outdated and weathered posters (really horrible ones, too). However, I manned up and walked in about a year and a half ago and I must say: this place is great. It turns out that Zig Zag is quite historic. Back in the early 80s, heavy metal had its glory days here in Brooklyn. L'Amour's was the place to be and Zig Zag was the place to get records... and meet your favorite bands. It's hard to believe that bands like Metallica, Motorhead, and Venom all stepped through that door at one point. Stan, the guy who works there, has basically seen it all and has not given up his 80s days just yet. As for the actual selection of goods: it's just like any other used record store. You win some, and you lose some. Because this place has diminished into obscurity over the last 20 years, all of the super rare stuff is left untouched and hidden underneath everything else. The prices are a bit high ($12 average for a used record?) though the price is worth it for some records. How Stan manages to keep this place in business after all these years blows my mind. I know he does a lot of EBay-ing, but damn! He must kick ass at it. All in all, this place is filled with unexplored treasures and is definitely worth your time especially if you are a collector of classic rock, classic heavy metal, and everything else related to that from the 60s-80s. Oh, there are CDs too but who cares about that plastic crap?

    Another one bites the dust…read more I used to shop here during my teen years. I'm quite sure it had an awesome Metal collection. However, I used to buy Post-Punk and 80s Goth vinyl here. Many times it would be cheaper at Zig Zag than some of the stores in the Village. Well, good music is officially dead. In the age of auto-tuned crap, the bell tolls for another fallen indie store. R.I.P.

    Princeton Record Exchange is the kind of place that convinces you the past did not entirely lose…read moreit's argument with the present. Walking in makes me feel like I'm stepping back into the 90s, when music required effort and curiosity and a willingness to be wrong about what you thought you liked. They have everything. Records, tapes, CDs, and yes, even DVDs and VHS tapes, like artifacts from a civilization that understood patience. The selection is not just large, it is deep in the way a good conversation is deep. Jazz standards sit comfortably alongside obscure classical recordings. Somewhere nearby is a Japanese scream band you have never heard of but suddenly feel compelled to investigate. What makes the place work is the staff. These aren't people who ended up here by accident. They're here because they love music in a way that can't be faked. Ask for something familiar and they will find it. Ask for something strange and they will find it too, and then suggest three more things you didn't know you needed. It reminds me of the record stores I grew up in, back when discovering music felt like a small personal victory instead of an algorithm handing you a suggestion like a fortune cookie with better branding. Streaming may have made everything available, but it also made everything feel the same. This place resists that. It insists that music is still worth searching for, still worth holding in your hands, still worth talking about with another human being. Go here. Spend more time than you intended. Trade in something you hope others will discover as you once did. Leave with something unexpected. That's the whole point. Five stars, and I don't give them lightly, because enthusiasm is a finite resource and should be spent where it matters.

    They're the best music store in NJ. I just sold 55000 cds and 2900 Vynils. They came over and…read morebought it back. Such sweet and honest guys! They are simply awesome. Highly recommend if you are a music lover! Plus Princeton is beautiful! Check out
