    check out the 45 king in hackensack on main st. tons of 45's there.

    to be honest, there are a few spots that are decent in this area, but your best bet is to still hit up manhattan. even though you'll pay a premium, you know you'll def come home w/ something

    STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY SQUIRREL HOLE HOMMIE!

    j/k. but most jersey stores i know/knew are dry or out of business. if there are "spots" to be found i sure haven't found them.

    like slavin said, princeton record exchange would probably be an empty handed all day trip for you. despite their prestige

    which reminds me, when i was in pittsburgh i googled "pittsburgh record stores" to see which ones were still in business and one of the first sites that came up was on the prex site like "why shop in pittsburgh when you can come to the princeton record exchange?" The obvious answer being, because i'm six hours away, dick face. They even went to the liberty of giving me directions from pittsburgh to princeton. Thanks Princeton Record Exchange! Because I didn't just come from there.

    so check this shit out. over two hundred cities and towns up and down the east coast that they have google rigged to hijack when you search for records in that town. Hoboken I can understand. But Waterbury, CT? how broken hearted would you be if you traveled across state lines for that store?

    but i digress. back to the subject at hand - no, no records in jersey.

    there were other stores i would sometimes go to when i was in school in north jersey.. flipside records in wanaque (found a nice copy of the nineteenth whole - smilin' there for cheap) and some other store in ridgewood which i dont even remember the name of.. (nothing ever really turned up there anyway)

    yeah, the prex isn't the 'best' of stores, but it has a lot. they have a big variety of rock, jazz, and a decent hip-hop section. the soul, funk, r&b sections are a little thin, but here's the thing about them. i don't go there often b/c of the high prices, but they have good selection. i know that whenever i go there, i can always pull something out of the crates.

    also, the crates under the main shelves have a lot of cheap deals. you'll be there a while looking through everything, so go at non-peak times.

    45 king is a little pricey, too, but again you can pretty much guarantee you'll walk out w/ something other than dust caked on your fingers.

    how many times do you think record store owners have googled their own shops, only to find them on soulstrut, and how dudes got over on them.

    you guys probably already know about this, but if this is a repost, then this one's for the new guys.

    it's exactly how it sounds. just check out jersey, or wherever you are or are going and this'll give you a starting point.

    ha! like these emoticons

    RECORD SHOW JAN.14 10 TO 4PM @ FIREMENS HALL,97 PARISH DR. @ RT.23 & 202S WAYNE ,N.J. www.SHOWSANDEXPOS.COM

    One of the most busted record fairs I have ever been too. In fact, so wack, its almost kinda good, cos hardly anyone goes. One or two decent dealers, maybe 10 vinyl dealers total, and about the same in CDs. Not only that they charge 6 fucking bucks for normal admission, when even the WFMU fair is only $5. Early admission is 15 or 20, I fergit. I have caught some things over the years but in general its a friggin' joke. It can be decent if there is an Edison show the next day, cos you'll get a few dealers coming down for both shows.

    $??
