Starting on July 18th, we offer brand new hours, always and forever. Fridays 3-9PM, Saturday 1-7PM and Sunday 1-5PM. We are also available by appointment.
Housed in an 1930s pharmacy, open just two days a week with records stuffed everywhere, the place sometimes seems more like a museum than a retail store. Located in the old Italian neighborhood of Jersey City, soak in the history even before you touch a record. Try and picture all of the gambling that used to go on upstairs (the pharmacist liked his card games) or view the glass cases of medicine containers from years past. Can you hear ghostly sounds from downstairs? Why not try and avoid Mayfield the killer cat (pictured above)? Certainly the boxes and boxes of records will make your eyes glaze over. We stock used vinyl of all genres, from rock to lounge, disco to soundtracks, jazz to funk. However, 12 inch singles take up a lot of space these days as kids around the world continue to choose turntables over guitars and we are glad to help them out.
Join some of America's finest DJs as they dig through the crates looking for hiphop, house, techno, freestyle 12 inch singles. Look for samples with local and nationally-known producers. Keeping with the sense of history, remember who has preceded you here on Brunswick Street. Woody Allen has been here. So has Peter Holsapple with wife Susan Cowsill. Frankie Bones is a popular regular customer. David Letterman calls us when he needs obscure music for his show. Even John "DJ Goldfinger" Johnson is here monthly.
What a life we have! Records and cats and wheat chex and every morning we celebrate the fact that I don't have to work on Wall Street like everyone else in Jersey City. I think that it is time for you to stop by and enjoy our environs. Then buy some records, start dancing or make someone else dance.
