Just arrived: 2,000 Jazz CDs!
Just a quick note today; we’re hard at work processing many thousands of new arrivals. However, because it’s been a while since we’ve had a large jazz CD collection, we thought we’d take a moment to let you folks know that we’ve just purchased around 2,000 bop and post-bop era titles.
This collection is comprised of classic recordings from the late 50’s through the 70’s (virtually no Big-Band titles). It contains hundreds of great titles, many out-of-print, on Prestige, Blue Note, Riverside, Impulse, Contemporary, Hat Art, Verve, and many others labels. Most of the jazz giants, Coltrane, Miles, Mingus, etc. are well-represented.
Around half of these titles have been priced at $4.99 or less, are already out in our cheap/budget bins, and are selling briskly. The rest are priced in the $5.99 to $9.99 range, and are being processed as you read this. Hundreds are in-stock already (most in the new arrival bins, some filed), and the rest should be out by tomorrow.

Hello from Princeton Record Exchange,
Recently arrived: two collections totaling over 2,000 LPs and 3,000 CDs comprised mostly of Oldies, Blues, Soul and Country.
We have just purchased a great assortment of less common titles. The two collections were remarkably similar in that they both contain a large amount of very clean, mostly reissued LPs and very thorough assortments of CDs; the first predominantly Oldies and 60’s soul, the second Blues, Country and some Folk.
Continuing our visual experiment, we have uploaded a short video about them. You can watch this video by clicking on the image above.
The records are mostly reissues pressed in the 70’s and 80’s with very few originals. They are, almost without exception, in excellent shape; the covers are crisp and clean and the vinyl is pristine. Some of the labels featured are Ace, Charley, Krazy Kat, Bear Family, Relic, Official, Crystal Ball, and many others. While mainly domestic, there is a healthy dose of British and Japanese imports as well.
Most are priced from $1.99 to $4.99 with a few higher. We have sorted out the bulk of the Oldies, Soul, and Blues and created separate new arrival sections for them in the back of the store; the Country and Folk is mixed in with the regular new arrivals.
The CD portion of these collections includes one of most thorough Oldies/Doo-Wop/Vocal Group selections we have ever seen. Over 2,000 are out now and priced cheap at $1.99 to $4.99(as always, we need to make room!). As well as the common artists from that era, there are a LOT of unusual and obscure artists and many long out-of-print, small-run compilations. The Cheap Blues section has also been very beefed up with over 700 new titles.
On a completely unrelated note, we have also just put out over 1,000 Laser Discs! There are tons of great movies here, including some rare Criterion Collection on an archaic, but actually very high-quality medium. Ok, so there not for everybody, but it does go to show just what a diverse store we are and that you just never know what will come in the door!
Please note if you are not familiar with our store…we are a bricks-and-mortar walk-in store only. We do not ship.
Hope to see you soon.

Classical Audiophile Vinyl New Arrivals
Author: jon
Recently arrived: over 200 Classical Audiophile LPs!
It feels like it has been ages since we have had a large quality classical audiophile collection come in, but we are pleased to announce a great one today. For those not in the know, these types of records were mainly produced in the late fifties through the mid-to-late sixties using all-tube recording equipment on high-quality virgin vinyl. They are sought after as much for their sonic qualities as for their performances. Some folks think these are the perfect media to showcase their premium stereo systems.
This collection includes many RCA Shaded Dogs, Mercury SRs, and other miscellaneous audiophiles, but the real highlights are an incredible assortment of British imports. There are dozens of original Columbia SAXs, (blue/silver labels and slightly later red/black), early Deccas (many wide-bands, both edition 1s and edition 2s), and early E.M.I.s (blue/gold labels); its a rare day that we see so many of these rare British pressings at one time.
Because of the scarcity of these records, and because so many of our valued customers are looking for them, we do request that you do not call us to put items on hold. We want to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to buy them. First come, first served please!
Also note if you are not familiar with our store…we are a bricks-and-mortar walk-in store only. We do not ship.
Hope to see you soon.

New Arrivals: Over 6,000 Cheap CDs!
Author: jon
Hello from Princeton Record Exchange,
Recently arrived: 6,000 Cheap CDs!
As all of you regulars know, one of the biggest draws to our store is the vast of amount of Cheap CDs, $1.00 to $4.99, that we stock, including almost every genre of music. These are mostly strong titles by well-known artists, but we just get so many that we have to sell them cheap to make room for more. We normally have around 20,000 at any given time and typically put out hundreds of new titles each day. Read the rest of this entry »

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.
