Record Stores in New Jersey
5 stores4 cities
New Jersey's record stores serve both the New York overflow and their own loyal in-state community. The state's musical identity — shaped by everything from Springsteen's Jersey rock to Newark's jazz legacy to the Shore's beach culture — gives stores a distinctive character. NJ shops often carry good stock of soul, R&B, and classic rock at prices more reasonable than across the river in Manhattan. Several stores have been operating for decades, building deep inventory and devoted regulars.
