Some fanatics - and Bob seems like a super fan - can lean too far into teacher or insider mode with kids or anyone not into their thing. Bob, in contrast, was so great to ask about what they like, what they're into, and really served to foster their growing love of many types of music and analog formats. If you love record / CD stores, just go. More CDs than I've seen in a shop in an age. The place is a gem and Bob's the icing on the cake.

Sure, it's great on certain forms of indie, punk, etc, but like some of the places that specialize in used golden-era classic rock/soul albums, LitT has a substantial section with bargain-priced used stuff adjacent to the "new" rock one. The jazz section is strong, and while I would love an even wider hip-hop selection, theirs is definitely better than that of any used-focused shops in town and probably a touch better than the other places I've been to that focus on newer editions. If it's light on anything, it's electronic stuff - as far as I can tell, you can maybe hope to find some mixed in with the rap and rock sections, but that's stuff like DJ albums that have rap features or bands that have dipped their feet into electronic styles, like Primal Scream. One recent niche itch I've had that Long in the Tooth has been the only store that scratches is Brazilian tropicalia music from the late '60s/early '70s. I haven't seen a single record from this genre elsewhere in the city, but LitT reliably has at least a handful of re-issue stuff from Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, & Gilberto Gil. I see on here that there's a bit of a mixed take on the store's vibe/that of its longtime owner, but I don't know what those people are talking about - I used to go in to buy CDs and music books back in the mid-2Ks and now use it for vinyl, and it's pretty much exactly what I would expect or want when I walk into a record shop.

I was visiting my mom in Manahawkin in October 2020, as she turned 90. I hit this place once and came back two days later. Both times had the place to myself with the owner. This cat has one of the finest stores I have ever seen. I carry notebooks looking for my top 21, top 100 in about 5 genres. The first day I found 4! this rarely happens! the second comb through, I casually asked him if he had any Dixieland. He knew his inventory, jumped around the counter and placed me in a section to die for. I bought 3 mint LPS from the early 50's and late 50s in this category. I was missing one Kinks lp (Nottingham Hillbilies) and just one more Aretha Franklin.....and sure enough he had them clean and fairly priced. I have been looking for Humble Pie's first two albums and BAM, found a double album of both I did not know existed. I can't wait to hit this shop when my mom hits 91. So glad I flew into Philly instead of North Jersey.

If he comes back call 911. He's a FN ahole. On and on. Evidently right before I walked in another customer walked out complaining about their practices. (I did not see this first hand) As I'm looking through the records he (the owner) starts engaging with another customer about a prospective employer for the customer. You don't wanna work for him. He's an ahole. He's a fn liar. He'll tell you one thing and then do another. On and on. I was right in front of him and said "tell me how you really feel" to which he looked shocked and then concerned that I might know the individual in question. Final straw was when he made a crack about his employee being a lesbian. Of I were her I would've knocked the crap out of him then and there. There are plenty of jobs out there. He had no idea who I was or who I knew. Wrong way to run a business. I will not be back.
