Great place, huge selection with lots of variety. Only gripe is they put a price sticker on one of the discs and it’s left a big smudge after having to work to peel it off, the price sticker on the outside of the case probably would’ve sufficed…

The best selection of $1 vinyl. Over 90 percent of my 300+ vinyl collection was purchased from their $1 bins! Half the fun is digging through all those bins.

Cool atmosphere with rock posters covering the walls. The amount of Record Store Day releases from the last two RSD was great. The vinyl inventory on hand was less than I anticipated but the prices are reasonable. So much else to look at including cds, dvds, tshirts and posters. Great record store.

Amazing selection; you can simply spend hours here…

I always love making the trip here. Found some amazing used records in great condition and super cheap.

It can be overwhelming entering the shop for the first time since the floor is divided into sections based on the category and type of the media. They also accept trades so the media can reused. Great place for audio and video fans to get lost in new and rare finds.

My only regret was that I didnt have a record player when I last visited. Amazing music selection/media types...could easily spend hours exploring and definitely want to go back next time Im in Jersey!

I guess I was spoiled with Vintage Vinyl because anytime I went in there they always had something that I was looking for. This places was the complete opposite very cluttered and sloppy and had absolutely nothing I was looking for. Unfortunately this is one of the last record stores in the area to buy cds so I guess its online ordering for now on.

Wonderful place with a great atmosphere. I just wish they had more of a selection for cassettes.

So much fun picking through the new vinyl bins, scored several 80s new wave that were barely used.

Great selection of records and CDs ranging from all genres. Staff is super nice and even helped me find one of my favorite records, Legends Never Die by Juice WRLD. I could have looked in there for hours if we weren’t in a rush. Overall, an amazing and must see place if your in the Princeton area.

In an era of streaming and downloads, a place like this brings me back to my love of browsing music stacks! You may not find the music that you started out looking for but you most certainly can leave with something that brings you joy.

Great place to sell your dvds. Staff is really friendly. Nice place to browse too!

One of my favorite places for record hunting. Lots of genres, new and used, hard to find records.

Fantastic selection, good prices and knowledgeable and helpful people. If you cant find it here, ask. They can probably get it

Staff is super helpful and friendly. Plus there are so many great finds

Ive been shopping at this store for decades. I love this store. The employees are great people. The prices are super fair. If you dont spend an hour in this store, youll be missing out.

Still fabulous after all these years!I came here in the 80s to hunt for vinyl. And now its 2021 and Im rediscovering how sweet it is to dig through a bin and discover a memory.Bought a new release that was cheaper than other places Id checked. Dug through the used bins and found items that are going for way more on auction sites. Came home with 36 dollar bin finds, a Springsteen 1973 release, and that new release I mentioned.They even had turntables cheaper than the big box stores.I will now be visiting them more frequently!

I love this place. Its always a lot of fun looking through the collections, vinyl, CDs, and DVDs. I probably am one of the oldest customers: the owner started selling vinyl out of a van in the late 70s, so if he was at Englishtown or Rt. 1, I am sure I bought albums from him. The first time I saw a CD was when they had the little store on Nassau Street in the early 80s. You can find some amazing stuff here. One night, I bought a pile of movies and the clerk said, I usually dont comment on customers purchases, but I happen to notice that in every one of these movies, there are violent deaths. Just take it easy out there tonight. Okay? Years later I still laugh. Great place, great staff.

Excellent selection of CDs and vinyl records. Theres so much stuff to look through that I didnt know where to begin. The parking is a bit of a pain due to the 30 min. maximum, but otherwise I spent over an hour here and got a good selection of CDs and records for a great price.

Great store to find new & used Vinyl. Knowledgeable staff to answer your questions.

Last year I sold my Beatles Record Collection to the business...I was offered a fair price for my collection...Ben even called me back to give me more money than the previous deal we made....That made me feel that they are truly honest, and fair....Would recommend.....

Ive been working in princeton for 6 years now, and once in a while pop in to browse. I always find a gem, whether it be film or music. In an age of streaming and instant media, its great that stores like this still survive, and have good selections. Theres a reason they are so well known.

Amazing stock! bought ctrl by sza and lush by snail mail, and that’s just one visit! strong recommend

Love this place! They have the biggest selection for cds, dvds, and vinyl. The staff are knowledgeable and super helpful!Couldnt give it 5 stars just for the fact that you should be prepared to spend time rifling through boxes and boxes if looking for something specific.

A high quality record store, they have a huge stock of albums at fair prices. If youre willing to hunt, you are gonna find some great things.

Fun place to check out if you are in Princeton, its been there for as long as I can remember and I dont live in the area anymore.

Truly historic record store. Was able to share with my kids this morning. Awesome deals and selection.

It is always a pleasure shopping at this store! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and they have a killer selection of music new and used.

Awesome place, lots of inventory. You can spend hours and hours here.

Very nice staff and a very large selection. Definitely worth the trip if youre into Vinyls and want a vast variety to choose from!

The sole king of East Coast music sales now. Lives up to the stellar reputation.

Very cool.All types of genres.All kinds of vinyl.Used CDs.They buy old collections.If you are into music and in the area you must stop by.

Really cool record shop with an impressive selection.

Tons of options to choose from. Really well organized and friendly customer service.

Stella record store with a large selection of CDs vinyl DVDs and CDs. My friends favorite place to shop for records the staff is friendly and I found a limited edition directors cut of legend for $3.

Wonderful place! So much stuff and nice environment!

Itll be a dream to have a shop like that in Brazil, but no chance at all. Its good to see used stuff with prices of used. New with honest prices. And rarities treated as rarities. Besides that, they sell nice turntables. I bought one and it saved my life.

The only place to buy your music from. I have purchased hundreds of LPs here..

The best record store I have ever been to!! I lost myself for hours looking through the Cheap Punk & metal wall as well as the cheap new CD arrivals

#1 rated Used CD & DVD store in the US. They also have new products as well. Just celebrated their 40th Anniversary! Super-highly recommended. I take Every house guest yo Princeton Records!

Such a large selection to choose from! Records, CDs, DVDs, and more. Everything is nicely organized and they have something for every price range.

I love coming here, incredible selection, found new music I love, and the staff is so helpful and kind. Overall a great atmosphere

Awesome for vinyl, cheap cds even DVD s

Incredible volume and range of music, awesome experience

I just pulled out a record i bought at PREX a while back, and realized how much I hated the price tag sticker stuck right on the album cover. I tried to remove it and it was impossible to not damage the album cover permanently. Its frankly enraging. Some record stores put price stickers right on the album cover, and others make it a point not to. PREX is a beloved institution, their used DVD selection is unmatched, but I for one will never buy vinyl there again.

Although it doesnt look like much from the front, walk in and the place is huge. The place is a little chaotic at first, but once you start walking around everything falls into understanding and you can find most any band there in cd and/or vinyl. They have a budget section where you can find many good and unknown cds from big bands for just around 2 bucks. Would reccomend a visit but time flies when youre browsing!

I have been shopping at PREX since the late 1980s and its always played an important role in my life. As a high school kid it helped me find some of the records Id hear on WPRB. After I returned from college, it helped me stay connected to the indie scene. And even though I moved up to Hoboken 27 years ago, I still come down regularly and its a treat -- the selection, especially used, is wider and larger than any other east coast shop Im aware of. Always interesting characters around and the staff is super cool. (Shout out to Amanda!) Thank you, Princeton Record Exchange!

If your looking for rare CDs or DVDs, this is the place to go.

The best record shop in the state!

Awesome spot for retro albums for $1. I had a ball searching for music from back in the day!

Love it here. It’s been a long time since I was there and it’s still great!

Selection is good, but almost all of the records i purchase are warped and sound awful, which is hard to notice until you get home and play them. i also think they have more in inventory than they can handle. you really have to be there for a couple hours to look through everything to find what youre searching for. a lot of boxes are on the ground under the tables and it makes it hard to look through them without blocking the aisles and having to constantly move out of the way for other customers to pass. the princeton location is nice, but they have far more than enough inventory to open a second store that may be able to better distribute products. prices arent bad.

Legit spot with great diverse selection. I only looked at vinyls, but their prices match up to the best new/used youre going to find. It could get crowded in there but during covid-19, theyre taking proper precautions.

Great place for music lovers

Surprisingly diverse selection of used CDs that you dont see very often. 10/10 would crawl around on my hands and knees to have an extra looksee at the ones near the floor. The dollar bin RULES!!!

Followed guidlines for COVID protocols and every guest complied. Always has great selection and even though I went with someone else, like always, I found something that I wanted. Go, wait your turn to get in and explore safely!

This place is the best. Sincerely one of my favorite record shops on earth. Super friendly staff, excellent selection, yesterday I went in and Bowie was playing. I cant be happier there. Well, except that I had to resist spending money.I stopped by yesterday to unload some CDs and DVDs that I didnt want to part out individually on ebay. I always expect around 20%-30% of my calculated value. The store has to pay for electricity, rent, employee salary, and it might sit for a long time. Plus theyd like to make a profit. Anyway in about 15 minutes they came back and offered me 50% of the value number I had in my mind. Way more than I thought and soooooo worth it compared to trying to part them all out, ship them one by one, and deal with the internet.They caught a bunch they couldnt sell because of scratches and I didnt want to bother taking them, I hate throwing out art of any kind. So they offered to do away with them for me. Easy peasy.Again whether youre buying or selling you cant go wrong at Princeton Record Exchange. Honest, fair, sincerely great people and theyve been that way with me anyway for over 20 years! Thanks!

This is THE place to go if youre rebuilding your collection, adding to what you have or venturing into new sounds. They have so much to offer in a variety of formats. I am very pleased with every purchase! Staff always helpful and welcoming.

This is my favorite record store in NJ. I spend most of my time combing through the DVDs and finding all my favorite movies and TV shows so that I am not at the mercy of hulu and netflix and I can watch them whenever I want. Having comfort movies available is important... I score 2 or 3 dollar dvds here every time. Of course, everyone goes here now, so you have to get lucky, so I suggest buying that boxed set of your favorite series when you see it. I also love the CDs. Its a wonderful store and Im happy to support it.

They refused me entrance because of my medical exemption regarding wearing a mask...Regardless of the Governors Executive Order stating;Require workers and customers to wear cloth face coverings while on the premises, EXCEPT WHERE DOING SO WOULD INHIBIT THAT INDIVIDUALS HEALTH or where the individual is under two years of age, and require workers to wear gloves when in contact with customers or goods.Im a 60yr old man whos breathing is compromised because of triple bypass surgery and wearing a mask INHIBITS my ability to take normal breaths...NONE OF THIS IS ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS AND IS ILLEGAL TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY MEDICAL STATUS!I think these employees need better training in understanding the rules before enforcing them without common sense.

Try, try and try again to find parking it is a disaster.

Ive been coming here for decades, always come home with some goodies ! Worth the drive from NYC.

This place is great depending on what youre looking for. Not much variety in musical genres, but in they have a lot of music

Great classics & some newer selections too. Staff is helpful & pleasant. Shared some free give aways with us.

Great place, friendly staff! Large selection of Music many LPs and CDs for the picking! If you love music youll love this place ! Rock On !!!!!

Such a great way to support local business and leisurely dig through hidden music and movies treasures.

You can find a wide range of new records as well as old. As an avid collector off bootleg Beatles records, I normally find something in here that Ive never seen before. Stop in and see for yourself. Youll find something.

Been shopping here 10 years. This place the GOAT.

Best record store in the area with an astounding selection of both new and old. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Nice vibe, just wish it was a bit more organized

Excellent selection. Theres nothing you cant find for a good price. They also sell DVDs and movie box sets. Highly recommed if your in the area. Wish this place was closer

Cool place to visit.

The home of the Late bloomer!

Always find just what I want.

Great selection strange pricing on new techno records but I’ll buy it.

If youre having to rebuild your CD collection or trying to find a gift for that difficult audio/ movie person on your gift list, this is the place to go.Princeton Record Exchange sells vinal, CDS and DVDs with prices starting at $2.99. On my last trip, July 16, there were a few box sets that were being sold also.Although the store looks cramp it is easy for an electric wheelchair user to get around. You will need to go slowly and you might want to bring a grab tool for items that are up high.Enjoy your audio or movie hunt.

Busy. Had to stand outside for almost 15 minutes, but got some good deals.

Great selection, low prices and amazing employees! Tons of records from all genres.

Amazing selection and friendly service.

Ive been a customer since 1989. Friendly Staff great selection.

Great little record shop.

This place has such a great vibe. Love the authenticity and the vast collection of music. I am very thankful I get to support this place.

Records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray. Huge selection.

Some really lovely little treasures here. Place felt a little crowded given Covid-19, but they were clearly limiting the number of customers so Im assuming they were working to a recommended formula.

Great place to browse youll find a gem or 2

This place is great

The staff is fun and friendly. Some of the are artsy music people dont take it personally. THE SMELL is my favorite part. Flipping through the old albums the smell wafting up to touch the mind on those dont childhood memories with family listing to music. Huge selection. You could spend hours here

My wife and I stopped in Princeton on the way back to D.C. last October. I told her that we had to go to Princeton Record Exchange. It is very hard these days to find a record store with such a large selection these days. Yes, buying music online is convenient, but it will never be the same as going into a record store, flipping through a collection of vinyl or CDs, and getting that instant joy when you find an album that you have been looking for but could not find.Thank you for being in business and providing that instant joy to many music collectors.

My favourite vinyl store on the East Coast (USA) To turn in used vinyl/CDs/movies you dont get much in the way of store credit, but an excellent place to purchase at a decent price. Wide variety.

Always something good here, a good selection and really unusual items, no matter what you are looking for. Prices are reasonable too. DVDs, CDs, vinyl... everything is available.

Felt like Empire Records. Cool Cat

The store itself - 5 starCustomer service - 0 starWell, we drove 1 and a half hours to come here. My husband grew up in Princeton Junction and used to come here all the time. We were very excited to bring our 12 year old son here to pick out some stuff he likes. Unfortunately, the experience was so bad we will definitely not be returning. Before we even entered the store we had to stand outside because they have a 25 person limit. 🙄 We finally get in and are LOVING the amount of cds, records, etc.. were seeing. We cant wait to start our hunt. Then, it begins. The workers continously harrassed my son about his mask. He face is slim so it doesnt fit him well. Its a medical mask and it slides down past his nose (still covering his mouth). One woman was so disgustingly rude that I almost put back all our items and left but I didnt want to be the cause of my sons bad experience. He was having such a hard time breathing that his face started turning bright red. We eventually left and he only was able to pick out 3 cds. My husband apologized to me and said back when he was a kid it wasnt like this. The workers were so chill and kick back. Oh well, well just take our money elsewhere. I would ALWAYS rather give my money to a mom and pop shop but 🤷‍♀️.

Fantastic selection of vinyl, especially used, and great prices on them too. Very cool staff

I have shopped there since they opened. I never leave empty handed. Always something interesting and new... Always surprises. Fair pricing, the best staff in the industry. If I could give more than five stars, I would love to. Thanks to all at PREX!!!STUART

Phil Junior Phil Sr have so much fishing knowledge it is incredible doing this their whole lives youll never find anybody better to go to ask questions anything theyll help you out

Been going there between 30 and 40 years never had a bad visit. Always find something.

Always feels like home walking through those doors

Great selection.

It’s been 10 years since my first trip back in high school. Just wanted to make sure I left 5 stars.Go support PREX and other local shops!
