    Their response to my fb review.  (I had to use an alternate acct cuz for some weird reason there's no "write review" option on my main acct)

    This used to be one of my favorite record stores. I live about 2 hours away and would try to shop here every time I was in town. I even shopped here online. Record Store Day is one of my favorite days of the year. It's a legit holiday to me. I came here on RSD 2017, spent a small fortune, and had a GREAT time. I especially loved the official RSD tote I received with my purchase. I had it displayed in my home all year long. Today was RSD 2018 and of all the participating record stores, the ONLY place I wanted to go was here. I drove over 100 miles with my family (3 kids) to get here. With my 2017 tote in hand, I was happily greeted at the door by Sue. I showed her (and a male staff member) the tote I brought from last year. We spoke for a few minutes as I searched the selection in front. I slowly made my way around every inch of the store. The band performing even played an impromptu song about the rubiks cube my son was playing with. As I browsed the records, I placed my selections into my record tote. I was not sneaky about putting records in it and I had multiple conversations with staff members while I browsed. After about 1 hour of browsing, the store owner John walked up to me near the back of the store and forcibly grabbed my tote out of my hands and made a bee line for the register, telling Sue to ring up my purchase. Still confused, I approached the register to see/hear John telling Sue "he was stealing." Taken aback, I pleaded with the owners, swearing to them that I had no intentions of stealing records from them. John stormed off before I could finish my first sentence and had NO interest in having a conversation with me. I asked Sue and the other gentleman working that if my record bag was such an issue, why wasn't it addressed as soon as I walked through the door, showing it off? I even showed John my active duty military ID card, but it didn't change anything. My pleas fell on deaf ears. John could have resolved this situation at any moment but simply chose to label me as a common criminal. If I was trying to steal, I wouldnt have brought my family and spent so much time in their store. Even after my significant other pleaded with them, I was never given an apology for any miscommunication or perceived theft. I was simply instructed repeatedly to leave. My 2018 RSD has been ruined and this business has lost a die-hard customer for life. I will tell as many people as I can to steer clear of this business.

    Great place in Bordentown

    I found records I forgot about a long time ago. So wonderful to browse through the LPs and take a trip down memory lane. This is a fantastic store to pick up gifts for friends! I even found a bunch of foreign language LPs and CDs that I had to have.

    Huge selection of used LPs and 45s, and a fair amount of new. A lot of CDs, too.

    Positively Records absolutely lived up to its name. I'm visiting from California and stopped in…read moretoday with my son, and we were immediately struck by the great vibe of the shop and the genuinely positive people running it. Super welcoming, no pretension, just real love for music. The clientele was friendly too. We ended up having some great conversations with other diggers about what we were flipping through, which always makes a record store visit memorable. The selection was better than I anticipated, with a really solid mix of new and used records, and the prices were more than fair. Highlight of the visit: scoring a near-mint copy of the 1977 first pressing of Foreigner. Couldn't have been more fitting to buy it today, with "Cold As Ice" on the tracklist and a windchill of -8 outside, it felt meant to be. If you're anywhere near Levittown, PA and love records, Positively Records is 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    While in high school and college in the early 90s, this was one of my go-to places to get music. I…read morewas very happy to see Positively is still there and going strong without a lot of changes since I used to visit back in the day. They still have a great selection of many different music styles. I was able to find a few great hard to find titles. If you can't find parking right outside the store, there's a big lot across the street at the supermarket. It's worth the visit to support this small business!

    Great selection, in general, and a lovely selection of current and past RSD releases. Past ones…read morewere heavily discounted, and the gentlelady working the till was lovely

    This store is a GEM!…read more I've been collecting records since the mid-1970s, managed record stores and I used to work in entertainment fir a couple of decades. I even went to the Grammies one year with Rage Against the Machine. The year Dylan won the Grammy, 1997 or 98. Great after party, btw. But I digress. Located on the site of an older, much more modest music store from much earlier, the current owners have remodeled and built up the floor space upstairs and downstairs substantially. 1). this store is packed with vinyl. The bins are full of vinyl, and the walls are covered with collector's vinyl. Stuff even I have not seen. 2). Their Jazz bins are awesome, full of great stuff, including an LP by the late, great Wardell Gray! 3). The Rock Bins are rolling with every kind of music, including folk, rock, new wave, punk, newer rock, you name it, it's probably here. 4). Downstairs is a load of classical music. Amazing! 5). The person running the store, Andrea, was super nice, professional, courteous and kind. Very helpful and personable. Also, knew her stock and offered many suggestions. She and her husband operate this store. I could go on, but in sum, this is by far the best used vinyl record store in all of Philadelphia and it's right here in Delaware County!!!! Also, they have a forty seat amphitheater for live concerts next door! Very proud to write this review. An epic store.
