    Love the little stools for digging in the floor crates...key for my tall ass
    Joel V.

    I'm so glad I check my 'Nearby Feed', which was the reason I found out this place exist. I just bookmarked it to pass by one day. But then the wife wanted to enjoy the nice weather today and that was enough of an excuse to make a pit stop here. Got lucky finding street parking nearby as it's usually not an easy task in the area. Iris has a hefty selection of $1-$5 records , which is awesome. I mostly looked through their $1 Soul and Latin section. They also have a $1 rock section, which I must return for. Found a few gems for $1 and $5. Especially happy with one Latin record of a composer from my parents hometown in Dominican Republic. It's a Merengue and Bolero album from the 50's. It's priceless to me. But glad I only paid $5. Love that they have a 20% off Yelp coupon for 'Checking In'. I bought 8 records (2 at $5 each and 6 at $1 each). After my 20% paid only $12. That's $1.50 a record. Can't beat that. Can't wait to return.

    This store has the best selection each time I go in there. From new releases to high quality used vinyl, they never disappoint.

    My introduction to them came through their presence at various NYC street fairs and the Upper West Side's Grand Bazaar on Sundays.

    Each time I come here I learn something new. Thank goodness to their staff informing me and…read moreanswering my questions. They're terrific! I wasn't looking for anything specific but found and bought a vinyl very unique and endearing to me. I also found out their store hours: 12-7. I usually pass by at different times so I wasn't sure of their hours. I'm happy for this place. Keep going!!

    Where to start? Was in the area with some time to kill and googled for record stores near me…read more Tunes popped up only 15 minutes away. Let's go! A huge selection very well laid out and alphabetized for the most part. Plenty of choices on new and used albums. Very decent pricing. Found a couple dozen to add to my collection which was great. I have to single out an employee named Dylan (hope I spelled it correctly). While I was shopping, a gentleman came in who was homeless and disoriented. Most store employees would have turned up their nose and immediately gotten this "vagrant " out of the store. Dylan handled this individual with the same respect and concern as he would have any celebrity. I was thoroughly impressed. The individual left with a smile and all of his dignity. Not something you see anymore. Dylan, your momma would be proud of you. As I was checking out, he noticed one of the albums I was buying (Hair) and engaged me in a good conversation about the original playwright who happened to be local to the area. Thoroughly enjoyed my excursion to Tunes and have it pinned to return when I'm back in that area. (Or even remotely close) Only downside is parking. It's definitely city parking. Three blocks away at a meter. Otherwise truly great experience.

I brought in three statue items unopened in the original packaging. I checked on ebay for what the items sold for (not asking price but sold price) and it added up to about $600, I lugged the items over there and had to leave them there because they wouldn't get to them right away. The people/kids working there were very nice. I went to have lunch and got the text to return, and they are offering $150. So I picked up the items and turned down the offer. Again, they were very nice, it's just I wasn't willing to accept 25% of the value. I figured at worst it would be 50%. But I am better off getting closer to the actual price on ebay. Now, Buying. Lots of very expensive and exiting things to get, and I didn't have time to price check things so much, but my son is into the Nintendo switch and i spotted a used Marvel VS Capcom game he might like. It was $34.95. But just in case, I pulled up Amazon and looked the game up. A brand new one costs $21.79. So it would have been a terrible idea for me to buy it there. I guess if you are leaving work and need a quick gift, you might stop in and pay too much for an item. If you are in real trouble and don't have time to wait for an Ebay sale, you might consider selling your collectables for 25% the value, this place might come in handy.

In the end, it would have been faster to order it myself online. More recently, I tried to exchange a gift I received, a biography (not a musical score), that I already owned. I simply wanted to exchange the biography, which was clearly unread, for a different one that was actually more expensive. I was happy to pay the difference. I even had the physical receipt. Both were full-price books, not discounted items. The exchange was declined under their umbrella policy. I understand having a policy in place to protect publishers, but it would be clearer to simply state "All Sales Final on Printed Materials." Instead, the language references "copyrighted materials," which suggests there may be exceptions, when in practice there are not. I want to support a neighborhood brick and mortar music shop. But when selection is limited, flexibility is minimal, and communication is inconsistent, it becomes difficult to justify staying loyal. I am disappointed to say, that I will likely purchase my scores and books elsewhere going forward. At times, the store feels oriented more toward internal or institutional purchases than toward the musicians and readers who live in the neighborhood.

    Great amount and variety of books in good editions. Some merchandise can be of higher quality…read morethough (seriously).
