My experience with Audio Video Plus, in steps:…read more 1. Bring in turntable, which was dropping audio sporadically. Owner tells me he can fix it in a week, takes my $50 deposit, says he will be in touch soon. 2. Wait six months without getting a single phone call. Occasionally drop in to check in, and, on the rare occasion that he's there, be told that he's almost got it figured out. Wonder why he couldn't make a 30 second phone call to fill me in on that. 3. Finally get frustrated, demand turntable back when he admits that he hasn't gotten anywhere (still not a single call to let me know what was going on). 4. Realize that not only have I wasted $50 and six months, but the cartridge isn't even the same and the turntable is actually worse off than when I brought it in. Curse owner, try to stop in several times to find that he's out, finally give up because it's just not worth getting this angry over electronics. Worst service I've ever encountered. If you want to blow your deposit on a guy who doesn't appear to know what he's doing OR how to work a phone, this is the place for you.

I wasted my money and time, and now my tape deck is worse off and I am going to have to send it out of state to a specialty shop for restoration after what he did. Avoid at all costs as he just takes your money and does nothing.

Neither my husband or I are great with taking photos so we opted to do a engagement shoot with J, in the winter, to get that initial meeting and awkwardness out of the way. We had the best time roaming Boston and our photos came out incredible! On to our wedding: J was prompt and got it done in 90+ degree weather. She tag teamed the wedding with our second shooter, Natalie, who was also amazing. They made themselves present when needed (i.e. "look here at the camera" for big group shots) and captured the night from the side when no one was looking. When I saw videos of our entrances I had no idea they were literally right there whole time to capture the best moments. I can't wait to see our photos but also couldn't wait that long to write up how great it was working with George Street. Thanks again for an awesome wedding J!

Meh, I've got mixed feelings on this shop…read more On the one hand, it's a classic record shop with a large volume, particularly in the rock/classic rock category, but also decent offerings in jazz, soul, and blues. As mentioned, they do have some offerings of mint, unopened, newer indie releases. Prices are generally reasonable on their used stuff, though I wouldn't go so far as to say cheap (at least not for any good albums in decent shape). That said, I've certainly broadened my collection with a few good finds here and have appreciated its presence. Finding a gem or two is a usual occurrence here if you look hard enough. On the other hand, for me this shop lacks personality. It reminds me of the music shop in Low Fidelity, except there are no witty debates over what qualifies as "good music", and there's often not even any music being played in the shop. Recently when I brought some out of town music-head friends in for them to scour a bit, the owner was overheard talking shit about the customers. All in all, in a world of struggling or dying record shops (one that I preferred on Wickenden closed down about 2 years ago), its certainly a blessing that Round Again is still around. With it's lack of offerings in alternative genre's however, I often prefer some of the other record shops PVD has to offer: -SDC Audio and Video on Angell St. has a surprising volume of records and the owner is friendly and flexible. -Analog Underground and Armageddon on the West End are smaller, but cater to more indie and metal/punk respectively. All of these shops will be happy to throw on an album that you are debating about, or to put in an order for a request you haven't been able to find

Before you even say a word to him he lets you know that he doesn't want you there and that you are a burden to society for trying to support a small (dying) business. Incredibly sarcastic and snarky. Overtly narcissistic. Heard that he makes comments to people about their appearance, while he's dressed like a character on Home Improvement. As an actual business owner myself (with five stars), let me tell you that this man doesn't care about running a business or building relationships, he just wants an outlet to talk down to people who are actually happy and have a life and a future or at least did something valuable with their life instead of sitting in a musty record store being overshadowed by the better, more highly rated business that's down the street. Don't waste your time with this place. The bright side is that this business is obviously on its last legs.

I usually only come into these stores with my husband because he's the nerd but lemme tell ya, even I saw a few things that I'd like to have. Fortunately, for my pocket book and for my carry-on, my husband kept his cool and just bought a few small things that he hasn't seen in any of the shops where we live. He was super excited to check everything out and get things he can't get at home and I was lucky it was all small things. Why 4 stars? The place is upkept well but it kind of smells musty and weird in here. The employees are kind of meh, not very helpful or friendly. Also, pricing is a bit high, comparatively speaking, so the value is a bit low, but I do understand this place in a tourist zone, so I get it.

However, the vibe has changed over the years and this location feels different than the one in Boston. This one feels more like a gift shop than the nostalgic collectors store that I grew up with. Anyways, got some pop figures for my nephew. They have a large collection. Staff seem friendly. Overall, I always find the stuff in Newbury to be interesting, especially gifting teenagers. I will be back for sure.
