Looney Tunes - Local legend's music adorning the shelves with the likes of Pat Benatar - Music & DVDs Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Whenever I want a new cd or vinyl, the first place I think of and go to is looney tunes. There is a vast selection covering most genres and they also have band merch for sale ranging from posters to shirts to mugs! If you know a music junkie in your life, this is the spot to buy their next gift. Another thing I really like is that they give local artists a platform here and sell their music in store in it's own dedicated section. The only downside here is that while there is a big catalog, the selection for most individual artists is rather limited. Basically, I find an artist I like but there's only one of their albums in stock and this is the case for most artists I listen to in my personal experience here. That or they don't even have the artist I'm looking for and it becomes tedious looking for something I want to go home with. I've gone home walking out with nothing more times than not. There surely is something for everyone here though and it being locally owned is why I will continue to support it to the end. read more

Looney Tunes - Store front - Music & DVDs Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Great Store, wide selection of LP's, and CDs at fair equitable pricing. Large bargain section. Great selection of T shirts and great music related gifts and novelties. Plus open later, 7 pm. When I travel I like to pop in at record stores but most close at 5, so it was nice to be able to shop after work. Staff was friendly. read more

I've been to a few other record stores in my various trips down to the City and Long Island, but Looney Tunes so far has been the best of the bunch, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I pretty much stuck with getting new records on this visit, but along with their excellent new vinyl collection, their CD section is top tier as well. Throw in the fact there's t-shirts galore and posters by the pound, plus box sets and used goodies, one would have to be Daffy not to Bug out here (obligatory bad pun... LOL) I got much new wax to add to my plethora of stacks, and only went slightly over my budget (primarily because of sales tax, but it's New York, so what can we do?). If you're a record or CD collector and are visiting Long Island, Looney Tunes is where you gotta shop. I'd go so far as to say even if you're staying in Manhattan, it would be worth your time to hop on the LIRR to Babylon and catch an Uber or walk the half hour from the station to the store. read more

Looney Tunes - The cornucopia of tasty vinyl I got at Looney Tunes! - Music & DVDs Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Absolutely love this place. The vibe and atmosphere are exactly what you want in a record store. Called to see if they had the new album by The Cure, and they were nice enough to hold it for me since I was driving an hour to get there. That drive is definitely worth it. I have been back a few times since. read more

Great store, huge selection of CD's, t shirts and vinyl records, absolutely stop in if you're in the area, love this place

Amazing place & amazing staff! Every time I purchase something from Looney Tunes everyone is always so helpful and kind. I went to the Joe Jonas Meet & Greet last night and I cannot thank Looney Tunes enough for this wonderful opportunity. The event was very well organized, the staff was great yet again (handing out rain ponchos for everyone), and I love how my photo with Joe Jonas came out and how fast I received my photo. They did not have to run the event, but I'm soo grateful they did! Thank YOU Looney Tunes, YOU ARE THE BEST! read more

Came here for the Frank Iero show and signing quite spontaneously, meaning I bought my ticket the morning of. Good thing too because the show ended up selling out. The organization was really well done and my only, only gripe was how you stand once in the store to watch a performance. They don't move the stands or anything so you are all standing ins ingle/double-file. It's not great and if there's a few taller people in the front, forget about a view, even if you're standing less than 40 feet from a musician. The stands did appear to be on wheels, so maybe just maneuvering them around the columns to make a little extra space? Other than that, the afternoon was great. I did get a sunburn, so if you are queueing up for a show in nice weather - bring shade and sunscreen! read more

Great place to find cd's, cassettes, posters. T-shirts. This place is pretty much a time capsule. I spent at least half an hour looking at everything. I noticed they carry a variety of things you can't find in a store anymore. Every time I had a question about an item the staff was very helpful. read more

Looney Tunes - Cassettes - Music & DVDs Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Wow. Place was my go to for records in the 70s, its nice they've been able to keep the doors open through the ups and downs of the audio business. Might be a longer drive now, but still my go to. Great selection, great customer service, great prices. Love this place ! read more

Music and Fun is in their banner. Go with it too. Awesome place to hang out with friends and going through their library for your chosen piece of music in the format of vinyls, cds and cassettes. Great customer service, and listening to great music overhead. Truly a gem worthy of a visit as far as NYC. Enjoy! read more

Selection has variation and is neatly arranged and easy to find whatever you're looking for. Price obviously is gonna be more than like a Walmart or target however. I prefer the vibe and experience shopping at looney tunes than going to a big chain. You won't find a better experience shopping local and indie. Everyone is super friendly and willing to help if you're looking for anything in particular. Their selection includes local artists which I think is just an added touch. read more

Great shop. Plenty of vinyl, CDs and doohickies. Used stuff is a great buy. Staffed by friendly helpful experts. Love this place and glad to see it thriving. SUPPORT INDIE RECORD STORES! read more

I've been going to this store on and off for about 20 years, back when Karl's dad owned the place. This is back when I was totally awesome in Jr. High and I'd go to to get my Guns n Roses bootleg live concert cassettes. I was younger and didn't get the concept of chains vs. indie stores, but I remember thinking this was the coolest place around because they didn't cater to the NKTOB crowd that used to tease me for not knowing who Jordan Knight was. bitches. ANYWAY, over the years I saw this store grow both in terms of the selection of items they sold as well as literally, as they took over the space next to them. They started putting concerts on (including having Ozzy play on the roof, something my dad was actually involved in to some degree, since apparently the residents of Babylon weren't too keen on it so he hooked the owners up with the right legal connections to make sure the show happened. My dad rocks apparently!) They always had an incredibly selection of music, shirts, patches, magazines, rock memorabilia, all sorts of stuff that focused on the music, both mainstream and independent, with a heavy slant towards the latter. Sadly, they were destroyed in a fire this fall, which is tragic, all that rock memorabilia, all my old punch cards littering the alls, all the memories, gone. HOWEVER, I am psyched to hear that they are back on their feet, and the next time I'm down on Long Island I totally want to hit them up to see what the new store looks like. read more

Looney Tunes - Music & DVDs Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Gone are the days of Tower Records and Sam Goody when you would flip through the CD stacks looking for the latest album of your favorite band....but one place that keeps the nostalgia alive is this little music store in West Babylon. Tuesday I came here with a friend for a pre-concert acoustic show and signing with local band, Taking Back Sunday. We swung by a couple hours earlier to grab the wrist bands for the event so we had an opportunity to check out the store before it was packed. I'm impressed that a standalone place such as this stays in business in this digital music world we currently live in, but the set up shows why there's still room for a couple of these record-based stores. Rows of used CDs at low prices as well as plenty of LPs dating from new to rare oldies make up a large chunk of the innards. You'll also find books, shirts, DVDs, coffee mugs, posters, and some Looney Tunes logo items if you're a truly loyal customer. One uniquely awesome spot is the listening station set up to give you an opportunity to jam to some music in different formats. The originality and passion for music shows throughout the store, especially with the signings they have scheduled going forward. There's a lot of good to say about the place, but a few things irked me a bit. When we returned for the acoustic show, there was quite a line outside to get in. This was understandable as the show hadn't started yet, but you could see there were plenty of people. When they finally let us in, there was a small stage towards the left hand side of the store and a group of maybe 10-15 of us were corralled into each of the CD aisles. People then filled in towards the registers and created a truly sardine-like set up that was a bit awkward and difficult for many (including ourselves) in seeing the band members perform. I noticed the CD racks were on wheels and thought that moving these aside (though an endeavor I'm sure) would've made for a much more open space for the crowd, but I'm sure they had their reasons not to. We also weren't a huge fan of having to exit after the show and re-lineup to reenter for the signing. But with the setup they had, there wasn't any other option. Despite this, overall Looney Tunes brought me back to my teenage years (that and Taking Back Sunday), and even though the acoustic show set up was semi-frustrating, the store itself was something respectable and refreshing to see (even if it's more vintage and old school). read more

We were on the island for the Lettuce show at the Paramount and had a wide open afternoon. Why not drive to the south shore and do some record shopping? I'd never been here (the last time I was at a record shop on Long Island it was the one in Oyster Bay... a loooooong time ago) but am glad we stopped in. Very. Nicely. Organized. That was great. Decent balance of old and new stuff. Also, it smells amazing in there. I like that it's independently owned but comes across more like a Purple Haze than your boyfriend's attic. Well lit and easy to navigate. The staff was a bit "too cool for school" for my taste but at a record shop it's pretty easy to avoid staff and just get lost in the music. They have an incredible collection of socks. Yes, socks. And the socks merit mention because they are so cool. Some were punny. But others were feminist. Feminist socks?! Yes, please! They also have a nice selection of apparel (strong island!), incense, candles and even crystals. I was VERY tempted by the mystery bags. 5 records for $4.99. They had these with CDs too. Seriously tempted. But I have to image, based on the other prices, that this is stuff they REALLY want to push so I resisted the urge. Although, now that I think about it, I have a friend who would love that as a gift. Okay...note to self...definitely going back for that box of 30 CDs for $11.99. Kris found an album he's been looking for (Herbie Hancock). I wasn't so lucky but it was still great to walk around. They had some used records I wouldn't have minded but they are about $2 more expensive than a nearby shop so I think I'll use Looney Tunes for my new stuff and stick to the other one for used. Definitely worth checking out if you're a music lover. read more

Probably one of the most coolest, hippest, and attractive CD Stores around. Even though, I've never visited this store, I've heard a LOT of good things about it. If I ever have to buy a CD or anything music related, I'll be sure to check out the new Looney Tunes (was burned down, but was rebuilt - supposedly better than ever!). Just from taking the "Virtual Tour" of this place from the owner...I gotta say...this place is pretty fricken sweet. To check out the tour, follow this link and click the "Tour Our New Store!" link, so you can get a sense of what this store has to offer ^_^ http://www.looneytunescds.com/rel/v2_home.php?storenr=45&deptnr=213 read more

Reasonable prices, good selection, helpful staff. I've visited a few times, buying a few used cassette tapes, a used open reel tape, and a few new and used LPs. I have been happy with everything I've purchased. Recommended! read more

This could be the best music (record) shop on Long Island! If not it's in the top 3 for sure. Great selections, the place is laid out very neat, the people are friendly. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. Go there and you will find what you were looking for. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed. read more

I used to work next door 13 years ago as a teenager. My favorite thing to do on Fridays was to go there and spend most of my paycheck lol. I bought my favorite CDs there (yes I'm a weirdo who still uses them). I've seen bands play on the roof and got autograph signings inside. I always bought band clothing too. Everyone who worked there was always very nice and you could tell how much they loved music also. I remember when the store went on fire, I was so upset that my favorite place wasn't going to be around anymore. Thankfully they rebuilt; things were different and more updated, but I still felt at home. Once in awhile I still make the trip to Babylon - I live a half hour away now - and it's worth it to feel that nostalgia and of course, walk out with a bunch of music. :) read more

If you're looking for a throw back to listening to music on vinyl then this West Babylon music store is highly recommended. Extensive selection of records from all genres of all eras. You can even purchase record players as well as many versions of Monopoly, posters, tee-shirts and other music memorabilia. They also have an extensive CD collection as well. Prices can be a little steep but it's worth it. Would definitely come back and recommend it to music fans. read more

This place is the coolest. Thanks for keeping music alive. I found some awesome old school gems and there's tons of new stuff too. Great variety of merchandise as well! Can't wait to come back! read more

Price gouging on EVERYTHING. Record Store Day was an absolute travesty--you only need to go there a few times to realize that they inflated their prices PRIOR to the 20% off. Listen, by all means, if you like the TGI Friday's of record stores, keep getting exploited. I prefer places that get me good deals, even if they don't sell cheap incense or shirts Hot Topic doesn't want. Support the little guy. Go to a real store with the record store nerds, not this sleazy place. read more

Looney Tunes has become my favorite music store in all of NYC and Long Island. I never mind taking a 20 minute trip out east to see what they have tucked away in their record section. As an avid vinyl collector, I'm thoroughly impressed with their selection. Although it may not be the biggest selection i've ever seen, I always leave with a couple of records that I haven't seen in other stores. They have a great metal and punk selection, better than any store that I've been to. I've even seen a few rarity records that I never though I'd see poking around in stores. They also have a really great folk rock selection, as well as hip hop and rap. Plenty of used LP's to dig through and a separate 45 section. The CD section is huge, multiple rows to skim through and a very helpful staff. Looney Tunes also does in store performances which is really cool, I believe they also have a recording studio. If you're searching for a fantastic music shop with a great selection, look no further! read more

Looney Tunes is one of the best music store around. I remember coming here for the very first time back in 96. This place has always been good in regards to service, music and customer service. They always have some nice events going on and plenty of tickets so no one is left out. All should come out and support this place so our future generations can know what real music was like. read more

This place is absolutely my jam. I have a pretty extensive vinyl collection, so I come here often to browse the latest new & used vinyls that have come in. I grew up coming here to see some of my favorite bands and still have such fond memories of this place. The staff is awesome. Karl (the owner) truly loves music and will take the time to chat with you about every genre imaginable. He makes it a point to hire people who also love music and I've had so many great conversations with them as well (and some great recommendations). This place is an institution on the Island and with the take over of digital media, I'm glad this place has remained. read more

The best of a dying breed. I used to be a big fan of Slipped Disc in Valley Stream, but as more and more music stores shut down, this is about all that's left. Not to say that's a bad thing. There is a reason WHY it's still here. Awesome staff, awesome and eclectic collection of great music, and great merchandise in a big and comfortable store make for an awesome shopping experience. Best as it gets on LI. read more

John S. is such a freaking saint. I had to follow up with so many questions and call backs and he was so patient and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I am so happy to be bringing my business to this awesome music store. I've had some of the best experiences there and can't wait, 4 more days until Arts in store and new CD! Thank you John S for all that you do. You really helped to make this one of the best birthdays ever! -The Arizona Girl read more

What can I say? I am old enough to remember a time when going to a record shop was the highlight of my day, digging through crates to find an oldie but goodie. Ipods killed that, most record shops have folded, but when I moved to West Babylon I found the coolest record shop ever. The staff is tops, they know music and really that is the key. They play cds and records, you can look for hours and there is no presure to buy. Oh and if they dont have it they get it and in a good amount of time. They have a great section for used merch as well as local bands. I love the idea of the local bands section, it helps keep Long Island music alive and kicking. Great Live performances, meet and greets and signings. I am not talking about bands you havent heard of, they get todays new artists as well as great artist who have been around. If you are in the area stop in and take a look for yourself, you will be so happy you stopped in. read more

Awesome record shop!! Love the vibe, and the vast genres of music available. Whatever you want, they can get for you, even if they don't have it in the store. The staff definitely knows all types of music and are quick to help you find something obscure. Def go here to find your favorite music, posters, or just browse for the nostalgia of the classic record store feeling! Best record store on Long Island for sure! :) read more

Great Independent Music Store Ive watched it grow since I was a little kid and Karls dad owned the place. They have occupied that little strip group of strip stores moving a knocking walls etc. I had quite a few punch cards on their walls. Its also a fun place to catch your favorite band doing an In Store. They offer Better Prices , Fun Staff and No stupid uniforms. So Support your Independent store . read more

I've been coming here since the 90s. The selection is hit or miss if you're into the underground extreme metal scene. Always check the used bins. They have a good rewards program which entitles one to free CDs after so many purchases. I've probably turned in my freebie card 10 times or so. The staff are always helpful and are willing to listen to any suggestions, gripes, or inquiries. Today was Record Store day, and it wasn't as mobbed as one would expect. I walked in the door just after 10 and was able to purchase 2 of the 3 items which I was seeking. Support local music! This is one of the last older brick and mortar music stores on Long Island. They sell local music, and local labels despite most of it being rather droll...it's about the SUPPORT! read more

Ok, so you walk into looney tunes, which by the way has been there forever even though destroyed by fire and now thankfully rebuilt, and the delicious smell of incense hits you and you are immediately sent back to 1970 something. I've lived in this area all my life and for as long as I remember Looney Tunes has always been there. Its funny cause it seems that the people working there have also been there forever (even though some are quite younger than me) The point is that they are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and really seem to love their job so they treat the customers with honesty and respect. Aside from all that, the movie and music selection is awesome! Not to mention all the "extra's" that go on there. It is so worth while to take a ride and visit Looney Tunes - you won't be disappointed! read more

Despite a couple of flaws, Looney Tunes truly is the BEST Long Island has to offer in terms of record and memorabilia stores tailored specifically to music fans. I've visited this store twice, and always have a great time visiting. There is just such a great variety of items that pretty much all record stores don't ever carry. While most stores basically have your normal CDs, Vinyl and crap DVDs, Looney Tunes offers t-shirts, collector's items, record players, incense, posters, promotional items, buttons, box sets, trinkets, books (new CLEAN ones, not bent-up dust-ridden junk), and even "mystery CDs" if you're feeling risky. I'll begin with the positives - first, the store is legit, spacious and CLEAN. Everything is organized extremely well and all music items are separated by their various genres and artists in a very clear and concise fashion. You will have no trouble finding what you're looking for and items are always binned correctly. They even have a 25 cent CD rack which I was able to find some descent stuff in. Secondly, staff is very nice. Now, while this seems a given for record stores, it is always welcome. I've been to other collectible shops where staff are just there to be there, and don't really care for the items they are selling. This seems best with toy collectible and comic shops. Most of the people at these places are just jerks. Anyway, they'll help you if you need it, but otherwise will let you do your own searches. Next, prices. This to me, especially at a place that sells used items, is most important (as it would be for anyone, really). New CDs range from about $10 to $17ish, depending on their popularity. Undertandable and fair most of the time. Yet in terms of used CD shops, Looney Tunes carries the CHEAPEST selection. Used items range anywhere between $2 to $5, again depending on the demand, but ALL CDs are very fairly prices. I've been to other stores where they expect up to $10 for a USED item that has been released for more then 10 to 20 years, which is just ludicrous. Looney Tunes is one of the only places that seems to understand that when it comes to music media, stuff can EASILY be found online for a cheap or cheaper price, so they NEED to compete. The fact that they are able to afford better facilities than other record stores shows this is working. I also mentioned the bargain bin which is always fun to look through. Ok, next is selection. No, they don't carry EVERYTHING, but they carry a LOT. This store can tailor to ALL ages of music lovers, but I'm talking REAL music fans, not middle school kids looking for the next Justin Beiber album (although they probably carry that too). I couldn't find SOME death metal CDs I wanted, but they did have others and for good reasonable prices. You'll have no problem finding ANY genre you'd want. When it comes to positives, overall I'd say the place is just plain FUN to sift through. I had a blast looking at the books on sale as well. They were all retail prices but they had some AWESOME stuff I've never seen anywhere else. Negatives are small but enough to warrant taking off a star. Firstly, I just wish the store was BIGGER, so as to be able to carry a better selection than they already have. If they were one day able to afford it, I would only see them making more money if they expanded. Long Island is filled with music fans who really would LOVE a nice BIG music and memorabilia place to shop at. Next flaw I'd say would have to be the t-shirts. Sure, maybe i'm nitpicking, but you could find likely the very same tees at Hot Topic. Their selection of bands on shirts are pretty much all the same ol' mainstream bands. Yea I'm probably nitpicking with that one but it would be cool to see a wider selection. Plus I wish stores would be able to cut down on the $20 tag for all shirts. Isn't there ANY WAY to get tees under $20? I'd say that is it with complaints. I have a hard time finding more. So if you've got a friend who is really into music, this would be the PERFECT place to go for a gift. Or just you treating yourself. No doubt, if you're a music fan, you HAVE to visit Looney Tunes. read more

Let me preface this by saying I haven't purchased a CD in at least 5 years. However I have been to Looney Tunes several times within the last 5 years a bunch. They always have signings and random shows for bands that just came out with a new album. When I DID buy CD's, this is where I would come because they always had what I was looking for. Their hardcore/punk selection is huge but they also have the regular chart toppers as well. The prices were never too bad....definitely better than those big chain stores. They also have a big vinyl section thats not organized the best. Buy local....don't buy from those big box stores. read more

Excellent selection, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly employees and no feelings of judgement or superiority. My kind of record store.

Best music store on Long Island. The staff knows music and their selection is excellent.
