If you're from the Boston area and are a music fan, you surely know about Newbury Comics. I was…read moreworking in Manchester and happily stumbled upon this location. Of course there are comics, tees, and all sorts of nerd paraphernalia but I mostly came for their great selection of vinyl. Newbury has quite a few limited edition/special editions of great classic records on colored vinyl and I loved browsing the stacks there. They also carry new releases and often have those on sale. I found their staff to be super helpful and would definitely come back for records the next time I'm in Manchester.

Well, it's 2026 and my parents currently live in Maine so I decided to head to Manchester when I was visiting to check this location out. It's always nice to see a Newbury store inside of a plaza with the cool logo and fun window displays, and this one had plenty of cool stuff in the windows. The store itself is pretty darn big, especially compared to the crappy new one in Quincy Market in Boston. The story has tons of toys, records, movies, and boxed slop that's been popular these last 2 years. I would say, compared to local competitors Bull Moose and Arizona chain Zia Records, Newbury just doesn't hold a candle to these stores anymore. The movie section here is small, the record section isn't very big, I'm not even sure they have video games anymore, and there's so much mystery box and Funko slop that's half the store isn't even worth checking out. I will give credit to the comic section for having a fairly good amount of single issues as well as trades and the t-shirt selection was pretty big as well. Overall, Newbury Comics is not nearly as cool as it used to be, but it's still a solid spot if you live in the area for whatever nerd culture things you want to pickup. I come to New Hampshire roughly once a year, so I'm sure I'll poke my head back in and hopefully they'll have some Criterion's next time.

Ah Ron's Radical Records as we used to call it. One of the OG Lowell record stores. Back in the day…read moreyou had Record Box, Record Lane, Garnick's and RRRecords (there may have been others, I'm talking 80's here). Been going to RRRecords since I was a freshman in high school. He used to sell used cassettes for like $2-5 depending on the artist. Got almost all of my metal cassettes here in high school. Nowadays it's used CD's for like $5-7 but still a bargain. I have to admit I don't go in here as much I used to, but every now and again if I'm downtown and see he's open I'll pop in and check it out. Still has all the eclectic stuff he's known worldwide for (noise music). He even has his own labels for that stuff. I mean, his main focus is not my bag, but I still try to support the business when I can. He's got tons of LP's, and all genres of music in there. Also a fair amount of CD's. If you get him talking, you'll find him to be friendly and knowledgeable, even about music he likely doesn't care for. All the other stores in the area are mostly gone now, but RRRecords is still chugging along, like a little slice of my coming of age...

Then worse still, next to the alarmist Covid sign was another sign stating "Due to covid, hours of operation are changed to 10am-1pm" :/ So I drove all the way over here to read some pusillanimous sign about covid and to learn that the owner doesn't wanna work so they changed their hours without updating their website. What an absolute waste of time. Maybe this establishment will go under because of their own dumb covid response, wouldn't that be a hoot!

This store is very popular since it's located north of the MA border where there's NO SALES TAX and the parking lot is a bit tight in front. I'll shop here often to pick up new releases and scavenge through the used CDs and DVDs. I've picked up a few great deals in Salem including $2.99-$3.99 used CDs and $6.99 used DVDs and cool toys such as kazoos, bobble heads, and a George W. Bush Talking Bottle Opener, "Fool me once.... shame on...shame on you..... Fool me, can't get fooled again." Newbury Comics has an Email Club which is free to join and they'll send newsletters with lists of new releases, specials, in-store events, coupons, and even cool freebies each week to your inbox. I've collected the set of Newbury Comics limited edition pint glasses, which is offered free to Email Club members with an email coupon sent throughout the year. However, several times, this store runs out of the glasses and other freebies quicker than other locations. NOTE: This store will be closing in March 2016 and relocating to The Mall At Rockingham Park in the former FYE space. This has been the trend lately of several Newbury Comics stores moving into malls (ie Nashua, Burlington MA, Peabody MA, Natick MA, Braintree MA, South Portland ME).

Ah, Newbury Comics. So "indie" and "unique" yet so commercialized. But that's what I love about it…read more You can walk into any Newbury Comics in New England and it will smell exactly the same. I don't know what the incense is that they use in this place, but I want some. The staff looks essentially the same from one store in the chain to the next, and the walls and the shelves above the CD racks contain the same useless junk from one store to the next. It's that useful junk that makes Newbury Comics fun. Very rarely do I actually buy something here. It's just fun to look through all the weird things they have and wonder who would actually wear these stupid t-shirts and tote these obnoxiously quirky bags. If I wanted to buy cheap used CDs, DVDs, or Blurays, I would go to Bull Moose down the street. Newbury Comics just has a charm that pulls me back to enjoy gazing at the strange, strange things it stocks.

This is a good Newbury Comics. Why? It's pretty big and it's TAX FREE! Also, I was happy to find…read morethe new Sloan album on the shelf on the first day of release, and also was in awe that they had a Brian Jonestown Massacre album hanging around on vinyl. Sexy. The only funny thing about this location is that it's attached, as in you can walk right into a Tweeter Center from your Newbury Comic shopping. It's a strange collaboration, at least in my book. Maybe smart for people who are taking home a new TV and want a movie to watch, but from the angle of the music purchaser, it doesn't provide a lot. Anytime we've gone in here, the people working are always really friendly and seem to be enjoying life. It's always a good shopping experience.

Sadly, Newbury Comics in my hometown let me down at this most wonderful time of the year…read more I remember always finding so many different things here when I was a kid. Now? It was really hard to find ANYTHING I wanted. Almost all of the old Buffy merchandise they had last year is gone. It's also looking a lot more like a Spencer Gifts than ever before. It's kind of sad. If you're looking for things that are currently being produced - including comic books - this is one of the few places you can go to pick 'em up. But... on Christmas Eve, this was the only place in Nashua that I went to that was really crowded. And the people here? Pretty horrible. It's still going to be one of my favorite stores in Nashua comparably, but... the ones in Boston (especially on the street where it was named) are more organized and have a better layout. I got pretty depressed after leaving this store yesterday... I remember how awesome it used to be.
