    Layla loves Newtown Book and Record store!

    This is one of the cutest record stores that I've ever been to. It's my favorite. They filmed "Signs" here and it has a lot of small town charm. The owner, "Chelsea", is so nice and knowledgeable about books and music. She is very helpful and welcomin. I get a lot of my records here and Chelsea will order any album that you want. The pricing is top notch. As an added bonus there's a nice sitting area in the back of the store.

    Such a great gem in a beautiful downtown. The staff at the NBRE is so helpful and gracious. The store owner took the time to help me search for a certain author during my visit. The layout is welcoming and it's a great small business in the center of town. This is a fantastic independent book/record store. I will be back every time I'm in Bucks Co. A++

    I can't believe this place crams all my favorite things into one store: used books and records!

    Good book finds. Owner is not welcoming. Seems to prefer record customers. Enjoy other used bookstore options in Doylestown.

    Mediocre LP selection; Byzantine set of rules that prohibits book trade ins to be used for records, or even other books. Cranky owner.

    The NBRE has a great used book selection and is a top notch spot to find some new or used vinyl gems.

    I know a lot of you here live quite far from Marine Park/Sheepshead Bay/Gravesend, but if you want…read moreused records, Zig Zag is the place to go. Luckily for me, I live in the neighborhood west of here. I've always ignored this spot for years due to the insanely outdated and weathered posters (really horrible ones, too). However, I manned up and walked in about a year and a half ago and I must say: this place is great. It turns out that Zig Zag is quite historic. Back in the early 80s, heavy metal had its glory days here in Brooklyn. L'Amour's was the place to be and Zig Zag was the place to get records... and meet your favorite bands. It's hard to believe that bands like Metallica, Motorhead, and Venom all stepped through that door at one point. Stan, the guy who works there, has basically seen it all and has not given up his 80s days just yet. As for the actual selection of goods: it's just like any other used record store. You win some, and you lose some. Because this place has diminished into obscurity over the last 20 years, all of the super rare stuff is left untouched and hidden underneath everything else. The prices are a bit high ($12 average for a used record?) though the price is worth it for some records. How Stan manages to keep this place in business after all these years blows my mind. I know he does a lot of EBay-ing, but damn! He must kick ass at it. All in all, this place is filled with unexplored treasures and is definitely worth your time especially if you are a collector of classic rock, classic heavy metal, and everything else related to that from the 60s-80s. Oh, there are CDs too but who cares about that plastic crap?

    Another one bites the dust…read more I used to shop here during my teen years. I'm quite sure it had an awesome Metal collection. However, I used to buy Post-Punk and 80s Goth vinyl here. Many times it would be cheaper at Zig Zag than some of the stores in the Village. Well, good music is officially dead. In the age of auto-tuned crap, the bell tolls for another fallen indie store. R.I.P.
