8 reviews for Tunes
I don't buy CDs often, but once in awhile I like to support an artist that I truly believes deserves my hard earned cash. I also like to support music stores that truly deserve it as well.
I have never been pressured to buy anything at Tunes, but whenever I need help I always receive grade A customer service with a smile.
If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd buy all the little things (posters, figurines, etc.) that make this store visually as wonderful as its staff.
Great selection, amazing vinyl collection at decent prices (check out the bargain bin!), and they started expanding into selling books/novelty items as well.
The only place for music in this town these days (I'm dating myself when I say that I recall Sam Goody and Underground Records).
A business is only as good as their employees... Tunes employees are so unbelievably helpful. Let me give you an example - I visited the store and left without purchasing anything. That night, I felt bad because there was something I wanted. So, I went back the next day and the item was gone. I asked the guy behind the counter if they had any more in stock and he said, "Well, we only have one, but it hasn't been sold. It's here somewhere." He worked with me for about 20 minutes searching for it. Turns out - it was simply placed in the wrong section by accident. Fabulous customer service.
Other than the great customer service - the place is alright. They have a great collection of cds, dvds and a nice vinyl selection, as well. I've seen cds with stickers as low as $2.99 and I've seen dvds that cost the same as in Best Buy. It's a great local spot! I believe they will also order things for you if they're out of stock.
WOW. A place I wish I knew about years ago. A stock filled with used VHS tapes, original records, and DVDs/CDs. The record selection was impressive and I wanted to buy a massive amount of it. I bought used VHS tapes and records that, to me, are just as good as having them new. On top of this, everything is dirt cheap. I payed as low as 50 cents for an item. Amazing. Everyone should go there and find their old favorites.. just don't take all the good stuff!
Edit (months later): Each time I go back here, I am more and more pleased! I leave the store feeling happy and giddy with my purchases.
Nice little record store...Sells new & used cds....whats really good is their vinyl collection...prices are a lil high but a very broad collection of discs....
Love this place! Attractive staff. Great selection of music and their used section of items isn't bad at all, you just have to sift through some stuff. And I like that they let you take a poster you like, if you ask. (Always been a weird selling point for me and my friends to head over to Tunes.)
This place rocks! It's my favorite record/music/movie shop. I get new items for good prices, but the used items are worth the trip. I got 4 used CD's for $20. I got a Jack Johnson CD, a Van Halen CD, and two of my favorite Stone Temple Pilots cd's i didn't have. The STP cd's were $2.99 EACH! The service is great, so is the location and enviornment. The entrance is weird, because the building is split with Tunes to the right, and a tanning place to the left. The enviornment is vintage. The walls and ceilings and walls sorta look like an old barber shop. Everything in the store is neat and organized. I love this place!
This place is a gem. I don't know how they manage to stay in business with Tower, Virgin, HMV, etc. closing, but here's hoping they have a bright future. It would be a sad day for Hoboken if they ever closed. Why are they so great? For the size of the store (which is not tiny, but definitely not a huge Tower-style megastore either) they have an excellent selection in a variety of musical genres, which is very well organized and easy to navigate. Another thing they do which I've really come to appreciate is that they have the used CDs filed correctly with the new CDs by artist. So if you're looking for a particular CD, you can instantly compare the used and new price and decide how much you're willing to pay for a pristine copy (the used CDs are always in very good condition). Their used and new prices are also very reasonable - usually a few dollars below list for new ($12-13), and used copies can be anywhere from $3 to $10. Also I haven't even mentioned their great used vinyl department. It's not quite as well organized as the CDs, but still a very pleasant way to spend an hour browsing. In conclusion, this place is definitely a local treasure.
