I stumbled onto this shop as I was searching for two hard to find, out of print records that I've been unable to get nearby or online. Interestingly Sky Valley had them both in stock, so I decided to splurge and purchased them. Shipment was very quick and everything was packed well. I felt like the price was right for what I got, and the customer service was out of this world too. The owner Chuck was very responsive and helpful. Overall it was a great experience dealing with Sky Valley. Five stars from me! read more

Checked this place out for the first time today and it was awesome! Huge selection of vinyls and CDs and the guy who runs it is super friendly. Got 3 of my favorite albums today! Places like this need to stick around with lots of music digital these days. Give this place business, I highly recommend it! read more

One of the most misogynistic interactions I have ever had while shopping. Friday evening I came in with a buddy looking for an Elliot Smith and a Paramore record, and the owner told me at least 5 times to come back in Wednesday morning when they open and they would have it. So after this, I came in Wednesday and he treated me like I was a complete idiot that doesn't understand how UPS and shipping works. Even then I was being nice and understanding because he kept saying "I'm sorry were short staffed and I'm the only one here". I work in the music industry so I figure I'd ask if he needed more help at the store and he looked at me and said "yeah we need someone more experienced that doesn't just know Blink 182 and Elliot Smith" (mind you I hate blink 182 don't know where he got that lmao), and I was like "I wasn't even talking about me". I work multiple jobs in the music industry and just wanted to be nice because I know others that would love working at a record store and because he kept complaining about being short staffed. But obviously he took a look at me, thought "dumb woman she only knows Blink 182 and Elliot Smith" when he knows absolutely nothing about me. I was nothing but kind and gave him no reason to speak like this, it was just misogyny. If you are a woman, go to literally any other record store. How insulting of an interaction. read more

I've been collecting vinyl for a long time. I have over 2500 albums. At least half of them came from Sky Valley. Once I discovered Chuck and his store I really had no reason to go anywhere else. If by the odd chance he doesn't have what I'm looking for he'll find it for me. Prices are cheaper than any other store I've been too. 100% go to Sky Valley if you're looking for something specific or just want to browse for an hour or two. The friendliest record store I know. read more

Sky Valley - Thank you Chuck! - Music & DVDs Near Me - Somerdale, New Jersey

Went here for the first time today. It's a great local independent shop, small but packed to the ceiling with records and cds (both new and used). Awesome selection of new and used music to search through; they have the most comprehensive used record inventory I've seen in one shop. The owner, Chuck, is kind, knowledgeable and honest. I sold a bunch of old records for a fair price, no need to haggle. Shop (buy & sell) here with confidence! read more

Great store with extremely friendly owner. Two rooms jam packed with new and used LPs. Found some unexpected gems that were very fairly priced. The owner was great to chat with - he knows his stuff - and even gave us recs for other stores in the area. Will stop by again next time I'm in NJ. read more

Sky Valley is one of my all time favorite stores. The owner is a very cool, down to earth dude who is working hard every time I walk in to keep his store pristine and the inventory fresh. It's a much more personable experience than a lot of other stores, not to mention the collection of records is very impressive. There is a lot of CDs too but what I really like is all the Knick knacks and assorted items he has around the shop from figurines to backpacks, wall clocks etc. I also strongly recommend browsing the used vinyls all along the bottom of the shelves; it is one of the biggest selections of used vinyl I've seen and I've scored plenty of life-altering records from there at bargain prices. read more

Owner is a real jerk. I've spent hundreds of dollars in his store and I thought he was cool until he wrongly accused me of requesting an album and then not buying it when it came in. He said he sold it anyway but he would never order an album for me again. And I've turned on many people to this store and this was the way he treated me. Do not trust this guy! read more

Old school record store...mostly new vinyl with some previously owned mixed in the bins. LPs are well organized and staff is friendly! Make sure to check this out you won't be disappointed read more

Shop carries poor condition, poorly graded CDs. Mail ordered from these guys and had a terrible experience. Really bad customer service.

Excellent selection of records. Stopped at the store while visiting some family in South Jersey. Looking forward to stopping here each time I make it back. Really good recommendations on records and they'll have what you're looking for. read more

Love this store and the people who work there! The owner is insanely nice and well versed in all genres of music. Always compliments my t shirts which I appreciate and no matter what I bring up to the counter whether it's Hall and Oates, Clutch or the Spice Girls, I never feel judged. On the contrary, the owner always has great things to say about every album my wife and I purchase from him! He has tons of both old and new metal, punk, emo, classic rock, rap, hip hop, reggae and so on. He keeps the Facebook page very updated with new stuff he gets in which I greatly appreciate as well. Definitely check it out if you're looking for great records! read more

Lots of records and a very friendly owner. Couple this with excellent prices and we have a winner.

Very considerate owner/operator. Also extremely knowledgeable about music and artists. I bring my 19 year old son with me and he's treated like a king there! He respects children and encourages the gift of music . Thank you Chuck, see you soon! read more

I past by this record store a lot and wish I cam here sooner! As soon as I walked in the owner was welcoming and gave me info on all the use stuff he got in. Sky Valley has an eclectic mix of vinyl and CDs. They have a great mix of indie rock, metal, punk, hip hop, etc. The owner was also giving me band recommendations. Great shop with a great selection! read more

Unprofessional, extremely rude to a potential customer. Wouldn't recommend. Lost me as a customer will not be back.

Came in with a few questions about records i wanted to possibly sell. Dude was extremely rude. Kept reminding me he's been going this for 26 years. Was going to purchase a few records as well, changed my mind pretty quickly. Wouldn't recommend unless you like being treated poorly. read more

Didnt have the fleshlight that they advertised. Owner is very rude. Vinyls are hella overpiced. Will not be shopping here again.

The guys at Sky Valley Records are amazing! I typically order from them on their Facebook page as I live in Iowa and they are based in New Jersey. Today I called Sky Valley Records and spoke with Frank on the phone who was very kind and helpful and was able to add some more items to an existing order due to the fact I found even more stuff to buy from them on their Facebook page. They are always posting great records, tapes as well as other music odds and ends on Facebook for purchase. Chuck and his staff are very responsive on their Facebook page and always answer all my question about an item before purchase. Shout out to Frank and Chuck were being so pleasant to do business with! Thank you Sky Valley Records!!! read more

Small store great friendly staff Ive gone into a few times to purchase things that were priced higher in other stores....unlike most semi-local shops this one's got a great punk selection read more

You can't find a better record store in the area! Chuck is very knowledgable with his products and will help you find whatever you are looking for. He is the nicest guy who will go his furthest to make sure you acquire what you want. He has a great variety of genres and artists, so you are BOUND to find what you want! Don't bother going anywhere else because Sky Valley is THE place to get your records, CDs, movies, TV, cassettes from. read more

Horrible store for selling records. I personally will not ever be going there again. The money I received for selling hundreds of vinyl records wasn't even worth the drive there let alone anywhere close to what I should have made. The fact of the matter is that my expectations were rather low to begin with so for them to somehow still be unmet it quite sad. I am not one who generally criticizes, especially not publicly, but I felt that this had to be said. I am truly outraged and feel very much taken advantage of. That being said, I am sorry to anyone that I may have offended in this review. read more
