    For any music/vinyl lovers in the NJ/NY/PA area, I just wanted to shout out my local record store, the Vinyl Dinosaur in Bayville, New Jersey. They have a good selection of classic rock, funk and soul, country, and other genres. He doesn't just sell records, as he also sells CDs, audio equipment like speakers, turntables, and receivers, and books from many genres. The store also has a stage for live performances and it has a book area with a couch for those who want to read and relax. I just felt like repping my local store to the music community, as I feel like this is a place worth checking out for those living in or visiting the shore. Since there have been some prominent record stores in New Jersey, like Vintage Vinyl and Holdfast Records, Vinyl Dinosaur is providing a musical hotspot for people to check out that many people in New Jersey may not know about. I hope my post is of interest to you guys in the NJ/NY/PA area.

    Here is their Facebook group here: The Vinyl Dinosaur | Facebook

    Also, they also recently created their own online store on Discogs with some of their more primo records in stock. Some interesting ones I saw were Prince records, original Zappa records, original Grateful Dead records, 60s UK Press Stones, an original Nirvana Unplugged, an original Dead Boys Young Loud and Snotty, Tom Waits, and harder to find Queen albums from the later 80s. Here's the link to the Discogs page for the store for anyone interested:

    also, if you are interested in comics, there's a comic book store right next door called Conquest Comics.

    Yeah, they have a wide variety of stuff to check out. Here's a picture of their audio equipment wall.

    He also sells t-shirts with the dinosaur logo on it, if that interests you.

    Would love to go there but it’s about a 90 minute trip, a little too far. By the way, Vintage Vinyl is no more. I assume you’re talking about the one that was in Fords.

    Yes that's why I mentioned the store, because it closed and Vinyl Dinosaur is another option with Vintage Vinyl and Holdfast no longer operating.

    This place looks awesome, just the kind of place I'd love to drop a few hundred. I'm in neighboring Atlantic County but will make a plan to stop by in the future.

    And that's cool, since the owner is very welcoming to people who come in from farther places.

    Just stopped by the Vinyl Dinosaur for the first time and really enjoyed the shop. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. Best of all, I picked up the Lennon Plastic On Band super deluxe box for only $45.00! Looking forward to going back soon and spending more time there. Thanks for the recommendation.
