I have participated in several events that they have hosted and with the massive collection of goods, I always feel like there's something for me to buy! In addition to their selection, the amazing communities, welcoming employees and environment, it is my go to shop! That being said, while I love the store, there is one glaring problem I've been experiencing. The basement, where I usually spend most of my time, has become unbearable! The heat always seems to be on max at all times or the ac isn't ever on and this issue has gotten to the point that I can't spend more than 5 minutes without sweating. Because of that, it loses a star on my review. I hope they can fix this issue especially with summer on its way!

Oh my goodness, cheap thrills music, where do I even begin. One day I was in this wonderful store,…read moreand I was browsing through the delightful CD selection, when my eyes locked onto a beautiful sight; Crackwhore - Somebody Loves You. This CD is truly a blessing from the heavens and delivered to us via the prophet Robert. This is both the greatest album in history, and the greatest album of today. This is what happens when you search through a vault of precious 24 karat gold, and still manage to leave with the highest quality platinum. This CD ruined all other albums for me, nothing else even holds a candle. The beautiful singing, the masterful guitar work, the majestic drumming, God I can't even accurately describe how exquisite it is. I immediately wished to purchase this masterpiece, but as this work of art was so coveted, as at the time there was zero information easily findable on the internet, the store owner and I reached an agreement. We would do research on how much the CD originally sold for and I would later return to this treasure trove to agree on a price. 1 week later I made my return, and after discovering that it originally sold for an affordable 5 U.S dollars, the prophet Robert, in all of his wondrous generosity, let me have it for 10. That is the story of how I obtained the pinnacle of human expression in music form on one, inexpensive, incredible CD. Thank you for reading this section of feedback, and please consider visiting this establishment, as I can guarantee that you will leave a happy patron with the greatest music one could ever hear, except of course, for Crackwhore, as only I am lucky enough to have a copy of humanity's magnum opus.

The space itself is really well organized with a lot of space to browse and vibe out to what they're playing in the store. They also have a ton of discount boxes, so if you have time to browse, you can really find some absolute gems there at excellent prices. The guy who was working there was really cool too and actually let me know that a record I had saved on Discogs had just arrived so I was able to score it. When I shared that I was visiting from Jersey, he shared a place closer to home that was one of his favorite spots to go and source some hard to find records. It was genuine kindness and connection that was really cool and will make me return to MRL next time I'm in town.

I'm…read morea CD guy, so this place still gives a lot of space to that medium but also gives plenty of room to vinyl records. They did the same thing when vinyl was not in vogue, so I appreciate that Mystery Train doesn't feel the need to drastically alter their landscape based on trends like some other music stores. For CDs, I have found that the prices have remained consistently affordable. It's usually $5-7 for used CDs and the genre sections are very deep, so one is bound to find something recognizable as well as obscure. There are also plenty of $1 bin options (especially more so these days) for those who don't want to spend a whole lot for music. They've also got some very solid box sets for $20+ which I have a weakness for as the quirky packaging always gets me. I have always found the staff at Mystery Train to be very laid back and knowledgeable, and I often see them answering any question without a trace of disdain or snootiness. They have also been known to get out from behind the desk and go find things for people. Whether you're looking for something mainstream or way offstream, definitely stop by Mystery Train if you're in the Gloucester area.

Newbury comics has the best cd prices and has all genres of music. For all the underground, or indie stuff that you can't find elsewhere, Newbury Comics is sure to have. The rumor about Nebury Comics is that it was created by two Ivy League students, that wanted to have a comic store and music, and hence here it is today. I also really like their selection of oversized posters. A must stop by place for the incoming college student. You are sure to find things to dec out your new pad. There are box sets, comic books, a few novels, postcards, gifts, candy, tee shirts... kind of a smaller version of the west coast Amoeba (spelling please). Love this establishment and I hope that new new revolution of music purchasing via itunes won't disturb this fantastic company.
