Oldies LPs & CDs, Blues LPs & CDs and more New Arrivals

by jon in In & Around Our Store, Recent Large Collections

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.
