Early September, 2008

Greetings from Princeton Record Exchange,

Recently arrived: Soul, Latin and Gospel records; Indian Soundtrack records; and Classical CDs

The recent flood of quality record and CD collections continues. This week we have a wide variety to report, but we’re pressed for time (trying to get everything out!), so we’ll just touch on the highlights.

We have just put out over 1,500 very nice 70’s Soul, Latin, and Gospel LPs. These records are in beautiful condition; it’s a real pleasure to see these 30+ year old titles looking so good. Most of the classic-era soul artists are here including Funkadelic, Isaac Hayes, The Spinners, Al Green, etc. The Latin titles include dozens on the Tico, Fania, and Alegre labels of artists like Ray Barrettto, Willie Colon, Eddie Palmieri, and Joe Cuba among many others. This collection also features a great assortment of 70’s Gospel.

Most are priced from $4.99 to $14.99 with some rarities higher. We are very out of room, so you’ll have to dig through the regular new arrival section, but if you’re looking for this type of music, we’re sure you’ll find it worthwhile

Also of note is a very interesting collection of original, mostly 70’s, Indian soundtracks. At around 200 titles, it’s not a huge collection, but it certainly is one of the more unusual we have seen in a while. These came over from India with some nice folks who sold them to us. They are mostly in very good shape and are priced around $9.99 each. As with the collection above, they are mixed in our regular new arrival section.

_______________________________________________________________________________

And finally, we have purchased a collection of over 1,000 Classical CDs. These do not have a specific dominant theme, but are heavy on Baroque and Renaissance titles, with some “historical” recordings as well. Around 70% are under $5.00 and are in our cheap CD bins. The rest are in the classical new arrival section and are priced slightly higher.

Hope to see you soon.

If artificial intelligence ever reaches self awareness, I’m gonna be freakin’ thrilled. But when Weezer’s lead singer Rivers Cuomo does on the Red Album, I wanted to turn it off just to spite him. A once indie garage band group should know better than to brag about fame. Let this be a warning to you musicians out there currently making your way up in the world. Read the rest of this entry »

His goal was to have one copy of every album released, and he came closer to it than most of us could ever dream of. Today, we would like to honor the life of a man who’s commitment to music is itself undying, and whose generosity in recycling his used CDs and Records at Princeton Record Exchange will not be forgotten.

Hello All,

We don’t have the time (or the patience!) to write up all the new releases we get—typically hundreds every month—but we thought you might like to see a sampling of some of the indie titles we have recently brought in.

Following are a few of the more interesting CDs that our staff thought you might like to know about:

Destroyer Trouble in Dreams
Elf Power In a Cave
Pete Francis Iron Sea and the Cavalry
Jarboe and Justin K. Broadrick J2
Kills Midnight Boom
Lair of the Minotaur War Metal Battle Master
Neon Neon Stainless Style
Plants and Animals Parc Avenue
Thee Silver Mt. Zion 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons
Witch Paralyzed

This is, of course, just a partial list. If you’re looking for something else that you think has come out, feel free to get in touch. We’ll be happy to let you know what we have.

Regards,
Prex

Forget about Air, Zero 7 and Theivery Corporation. They’ve had their time underneath the sun (or shade). The fans demand something new, fresh, and more. Let’s take a look at what that is. Read the rest of this entry »

We are very busy processing thousands of new arrivals for our busy season, but thought we’d take a minute to give a quick update today.

First of all, we hope you keep us in mind for those last minute gifts you are scrambling to find. We have a huge selection of factory-sealed new CDs, LPs, and DVDs. Among the DVDs are many DVD box sets, including many TV DVDs. We are also stocking three different models of turntables and have a wide variety of music-related accessories.

We have just bought a very interesting, large jazz collection. The vast majority of these records are 70’s pressings of traditional jazz music of the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s with some big-band and jug music as well. The records and covers are, for the most part, immaculate. It is a pleasure to see so many fine jazz LPs in such great shape. Read the rest of this entry »
