agriffith Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hello all, I will be visiting Boston for a few days in about a week and I wondered if anyone here could recommend some good second-hand record stores in the area. Looking for jazz (of course) and maybe classical. Also gospel! Thanks to all that reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) stereo jack's should be your first stop. they're located across the river in cambridge at 1686 massachusetts ave. between harvard and porter squares. nearby, there's planet records at 54B jfk street in harvard square. in boston, there's looney tunes at 1106 boylston street (a block from mass ave.) you might also consider stopping at one of the newbury comics locations. they feature new and used cds. use the store locator on their website: newbury stores Edited October 2, 2006 by jazzshrink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 my favorite - Stereo Jack's (Jack posts here occassionally) - on Mass Ave just outside of Harvard Square - plenty of LPs, CDs, great selection, good prices - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) you might also consider stopping at one of the newbury comics locations. they feature new and used cds. use the store locator on their website: newbury stores Make sure you bring your earplugs if you plan on spending more than 3 minutes in a Newbury Comics. They blare the latest crap from Incubus or whoever all the time. Kids these days! Third the recommendations for Jack's. I miss it!

Teasing the Korean Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Another enthusiastic vote for Jack's, both in terms of selection and price. I hope you do vinyl! Their vinyl selection is terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 When my wife and I went to Boston for a couple of days a year ago in June, Jack's was the one place we made it to other than the Fine Arts Museum and Fenway Park and it was well worth it.

Teasing the Korean Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I lived in Beantown for many years and for a good chunk of my time there I would hit Stereo Jack’s once a week. I remember trudging through the snow from my day gig in Harvard Square salivating at the thought of what I’d find. I’d often end up walking out of there with an armload of LPs for under $50. “I can’t believe your prices!” I’d exclaim. “We’re a record store, not a museum. We price ’em to move.” And when I would indulge in the periodic requisite sacrifice to the Record Gods, I’d choose to plunk down the big bucks at Jack’s, as a thank you for all those incredible dollar LPs I’d accumulated.

Teasing the Korean Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 To be precise, Stereo Jack's is in Porter Square, just up the Red Line from Harvard Square. Don't miss it!! It's between Harvard and Porter, but slightly closer to Porter. I trudged through the snow too many times from both directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
