User Reviews of Princeton Record Exchange

Yelp.com Review - by Karina M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Another Jersey Gem. Seriously. Looking for hard-to-find music/bands? Something new and/or obscure? Sick records/movies? You will probably find it here (I'm not guaranteeing anything because this is…

Yelp.com Review - by Paul L.

4.0 of 5 stars. PREX has a lot to offer. It is pretty easy to find whatever new album you are looking for. But if you want to have tons of fun, just wander aimlessly through the used CD section for hours. This…

4.0 of 5 stars. Very very very cool place. The best part, besides the perfect smell for a place like this, is the very cool and helpful staff. All very nice, very down to earth people that work here and will show…

Yelp.com Review - by Heather T.

5.0 of 5 stars. Best Record Store Ever! Record exchange has anything you can think of, a huge selection of used CDs (no more than $3.99), and the friendliest staff. It's the best feeling walking in with 20 bucks and…

Yelp.com Review - by Kristine M.

5.0 of 5 stars. PREX!!! Awesome record store. Growing up, my dad used to drag me here all the time, and I didn't appreciate its awesomeness. I haven't lived in Jersey in 10 years, but I still try to get to…

Yelp.com Review - by Michael B.

5.0 of 5 stars. By far and away the best record store (yes, I still call it a record store!) I've ever been to (Secret Sounds in Fairfield, CT is a distant second). Princeton Record Exchange features the most…

4.0 of 5 stars. If you're in the area, you must check out Princeton Record Exchange. It truly has something for everyone at reasonable prices. If you're into vinyl you should probably go right now, as they have…

Yelp.com Review - by Victor L.

5.0 of 5 stars. I spent a summer in Princeton at NYFA summer camp back in high school years ago, and while my dorm room had a fireplace, it didn't have air conditioning. That was quite the problem, sweating was just…

5.0 of 5 stars. So, after a weekend of record shopping in NYC, I came to the end of my weekend at Princeton Record Exchange. And what a wonderful way to end an already amazing weekend. Now, I've been to some of the…

Yelp.com Review - by Brian N.

5.0 of 5 stars. It's the best record/cd store in New Jersey. It's really as simple as that. With that said, it's a place for people who love music. The geeks, the nerds, the indie kids, the punks, the hipsters, the…

Snobby, but good

Yelp.com Review - by jessica t.

5.0 of 5 stars. Amoeba records is a classic. Buuuuuuuuuuuut classic this! Princeton Record Exchange can out-dance Amoeba anyday. PRE can bust out moves and tunes for such crazy prices that Amoeba would have to dust…

Yelp.com Review - by Bonnie G.

5.0 of 5 stars. This the record store I use to compare all others. After being alive 27 years, I still have not found a record store that compares to PRE. I have DREAMS about this place! A high school staple, the set…

ivy leaguers know how to rock

The used section is second to none. Many titles are to be found on both CD and vinyl at very good prices. The new CD section has a little to be desired. Many titles are not in order and I found myself...
