Visit Date: March 26, 2025…read more On my way back to the southshore of LI after visiting a friend with my two other friends for lunch in Ridge my friend asked if we could go to Record Stop. I'm familiar with Record Stop, I go to a vinyl night every two weeks with members of a facebook group called 8 o'clock shot and the guy who spins records Tom sort of represents record stop. I had been here once in the summer but didn't really get a chance to properly look around. I love records but I only have one. I'm trying my hardest to not collect much because currently I live in a small space and when my son and I can move out of my father's house we'll still be living in a small space. It was still nice to browse the records for sale. They also have other music related merchandise besides records. Tons of musical action figures, a small selection of books, T-shirts, patches. I bought my boyfriend a Kiss Flask for his birthday. His birthday isn't until August but sometimes you see something early and you just need to grab it. I'll also be buying him more than just a flask but for now it's a good start on a birthday that's still a few months away. And I was happy to purchase something to give record stop some business. The flask was also a pretty decent price giving me more budget room to buy other things. If you're around Patchogue and you're a music lover or a vinyl lover record stop is the place to go!

I've been in multiple FYE stores at this point and there is a problem at every single one. I went…read moreto buy a gift card at this location and she looked at me like I had two heads and it took forever for her to figure out what to do. Consistently they mark things on sale and then they ring up on the register at a higher price... and they'll fight with you whether to honor the price on their own sign! I've also had them cancel a partially unused gift card so the balance was zero when it should still have had money on it. Shop elsewhere. After my most recent experience, I won't be coming back.

I've been here many times and have never had a problem. I came here today to purchase some DVDs…read more There was one male employee in the store. He was busy, but he's still supposed to be watching the counter since he's alone. I stood at the counter for 5 minutes, I said excuse me, I said hello. Still ignored. I dropped $40 worth of DVDs (used) in a bin. It was pretty loud. And still this employee didn't turn around or bat an eye. Well, you lost a sale today and I will not be shopping in this store again as long as this employee is working. Just rude!

Definitely a place I like to stop by once a week and look forward to the new things they're always putting out.

This record shop is also a spirituality shop and sells crystals, natural remedies, teas, and tinctures. The owner of the shop, Mike, opened Buddha Belly Records in January 2024. The records, both new and used, are carefully curated, organized, and fairly priced. Great selection of jazz, soul, rock, and everything in between - there's something for everyone here. I could easily spend hours digging here, but with my wife waiting in the car - I had 30 minutes to dig. Dig through the "New Arrivals" section and you will find a ton of gems - I saw a few Japanese pressings in there. The inventory here is priced to move - if you see something you like, I would jump on it before someone else does. There's a lounge in the back where the shop also hosts tarot card reading classes. Suffolk County residents are truly blessed to have a record store of this caliber in Sayville. (hey - this is my 100th Yelp review! )

The Archive is a physical media retail store that opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in June 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Brandon Upson, James Neurath, Ryan Emerson and Ralph Stevens. The shop is the brick & mortar division of Vinegar Syndrome: a film restoration and distribution company that specializes in protecting and preserving genre films (mainly produced between the 1960s and 1980s). The company was founded in 2012 by Emerson and business partner Joe Rubin and named for the acidic smell of deteriorating film. It is considered a boutique Blu-ray label and to date has released well over 800 titles on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. The Archive is dedicated to selling movies and music in a wide variety of physical media formats. Consumers will find all sorts of new and used titles available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc, Vinyl, CD, and Cassette tape. A second location opened in Aurora (CO) in October 2022 and a third (named 'Vinegar Syndrome') opened in Toronto (ON) in October 2023. I've been doing business with the Archive for a number of years now. I'm a huge fan of collecting physical media. Although streaming media seems to be the way to go now, streaming services are only as good as your internet connection, the quality is too compressed and titles are disappearing all the time. I like having an actual vinyl record or 4K disc in my hands. Physical formats are also usually loaded with all sorts of liner notes, posters and bonus features that you won't get with streaming services. I try to stop at the shop every few months or so. While I sometimes leave empty handed, other times I leave with some great finds. They often carry great film releases from labels like Arrow Video, Blue Underground, The Criterion Collection, Severin Films, Shout! Factory, and of course Vinegar Syndrome. At times, the shop will even get a limited amount of new releases weeks before they are available on Amazon. If you're a fan of physical media then you need to get to the Archive right away!

It seems they're using the newer store model that does away with the actual movie sections. The focus is clearly on pop culture merchandise with tons of collectibles, unique snacks, and of course apparel. There are, however, some Blu-ray's depending on the seasonal displays set up in the store. But the main demographic for this location is definitely collectors. With it being the newest location to pop up in the state, they've got fresh inventory so it's great to find things that have been harder to find in other FYE's or other stores in general. Definitely worth checking out if you've never been before!
