One of the best record selections not just in the Newbury chain but of any record store Ive been to. Better prices than my local Newbury as well. A wealth of variety and enough preowned records that that section alone could be its own record shop. I was in there for 3 and a half hours just to be certain that I wouldnt miss anything. Great staff too, Preston was super knowledgeable and helpful! It was a 2 hour drive for me but it was well worth the pilgrimage.

Great selection of records, people are very friendly. If I had more money I was liable to buy the whole store 🤣

Its an understatement to say that I really, really appreciate that this store still exists. Entering gives the same vibe that I first got at the Newbury Street location in the early 90s (except way more spacious). It has weathered the digital download period, continuing to sell physical music (in addition to everything pop culture). Great vinyl selection compared to other Newbury Comics locations.

I got some kpop albums from this Newbury Comics and there are many nice choices, but there is one album I bought that was very damaged in the inside. The cover came off of the spine but stayed connected to the back. I tried hot gluing it back to the spine but now the spine looks very thick. Even though this happened I would still go back:) the album I bought was ‘NCT 2020 Resonance pt1’ by the way

I spent an hour shopping and didn’t even makeIt half way. I am completely jealous for those who have this treasure in their back yard.The shirts, the books, the pop, the subculture.Amazing.Don’t get me started on the music, this is American culture in its prime.

One of the best Newbury Comics out there with an amazing vinyl selection. They have both new and used with current and older musics including all genres. Staff is very friendly and store is clean. I drive 30 minutes to go to this one instead of my local one. Highly recommend for vinyl collectors!

Wow, what can I even try to say thats negative about this store. I cant find a thing. If you like interesting gifts or gag gifts, this place is for you. If you have an opinion and want to actually wear it, this place is good for you. If you love music, this place is amazing. Everything from records and record players, to c.d.s. and c.d. players. Original lps and singles on vinyl and so much, much more. Very cool and entertaining. The staff was ridiculously knowledgeable and friendly. Cant tell you how glad I am to have stumbled upon this place. It reminds me a little of a famous record store called, Shake it Records because it just has an underground type feel to it.. Even though its set up as if its completely commercialized. I havent done any research about the store and whether or not its a commercial chain thats just that cool or a large and well set up small business. Please go here, you will not regret at least checking it out. It could rub some people the wrong way but if your open minded and not uptight.. This place is for you.

Most comfortable I feel when shopping for vinyl... Other smaller places may have better, harder to find selections, but Im just looking for early 90s Alt Rock and Early Aughts Indie Rock, so its essentially Mecca

I went in looking for a very specific Vinyl Funko: Furby and could find it. What I did leave with though is the satisfaction of knowing that Newbury Comics keeps a penguin statue in every store.

Probably the largest store Ive shopped in and happened to be just passing by in my travels. Oh my goodness the back of the store has a huge assortment of used records. This of course was quite tantalizing as my goal was to seek out vinyl without putting a major dent in my wallet. Staff was courteous and efficient. Definitely will go again when I have more time to browse.

Review №51

Few places are left where truly trendy is a description.Newbury comics is trendy. The merchandise is cool, the selection of music and films is both current and classic.This is where you can still find the latest music and clothing.The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. And typically the music played in the store is an education in itself (just like a record store should be)So, ya wanna be cool? Check out Newbury comics

Review №52

We love this Newbury Comics location! The store is huge with great selection. The staff is friendly. Plenty of parking and easy to get to on Route 1. If you are looking for pop culture things, Newbury Comics is the place. If you want one thats a little more laid back than the crowded ones closer to the city, this is the location for you.

Albums are more expensive than other record shops. Still an interesting store with unique items but thats getting less and less. Now more Funko Pop figures than anything else. Used to be the hippest store around but its lost some luster in recent years

This is a wonderful spot to buy CDs or albums -- or to sell them. I sold some old albums that no one had listened to in years. I got a fair price.

Literally one of my favorite places for gifts!!!! The store is CLEAN, ORGANIZED, and the employees ROCK, literally and figuratively. They have everything from records, to comics, TV box sets, to screaming goats, cool cards, and an awesome selection of star wars stuff and socks!! Great place to grab the newest music releases, or find a gift for hard to shop people.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, unique items that are fantastic for gift giving. Cool T-shirts and Hoodies you wont really find anywhere else. If youre disenchanted with buying retro T-shirts online because the quality of the print always stinks and you just wish there was a store for that, there is. Its Newbury Comics.

This Newbury Comics is one of the last strongholds of physical media. Eclectic selections of vinyl, CDs, and DVDs can be found. But, also that sense of home only a Newbury Comics can bring. Also the staff is amazing!! ❤️

Review №74

This is one of the biggest stores in the area and it has walls lined with funko pop figures!!! Anyone you can think of!! It has an amazing amount of novelty pins, socks, pens and all the novelty glassware or tshirts and books you could ask for. I can spend hours looking at the comics and graphic novels. They have amazing pieces of Batman or Superman at prices that are not astronomical! I highly recommend this place if you are a lover of all things pop culture and comic books. The employees dont follow you around and they just let you walk around and take it all that is there for products and if you look like you need help they do ask but otherwise very personable and professional.

Review №91

Newbury Comics is a music/comic book store that strikes a comfortable balance between large chain store and Mom and Pop neighborhood store. On the music side they have a large selection of both new and used music. When you enter the music section it becomes obvious that they have taken heed yo the vinyl revolution. A decade ago they were down to one bin of vinyl, but now the vinyl takes up more space than the compact disc sections. Every time I go in there the vinyl section is full of shoppers while the CD section has very few shoppers. If you are into vinyl Newbury Comics is the place for you. Whether you are just starting your vinyl collection or if youre one of the few who stayed with vinyl through the digital revolution Newbury Comics will have something for you. There is tons of classic used vinyl for decent prices if thats the way you want to go, but they will also have all of the new releases available. This particular Newbury Comics has a friendly staff. The man who sorts the vinyl seems to be there at all times and he is very helpful when you are looking for anything in particular. As far as the comic side of the store goes I am not a very good judge of that. I recommend this store to anyone looking for music. Its a real pleasure.

This is the best Newbury Comics location. They have the best selection of used vinyl in the area. Love going here for Record Store Day and whenever else Im in the area.

Review №93

Prices on used records have increased recently. This is no longer a place you can dig for the incredible deals you once could. Record condition is unmarked, and now frequently poor but with a high price. I used to go in once a week- I know management has changed in this particular branch, and they have always handled the used record pricing for the other stores in and around Boston. But I just don’t see visiting as often anymore.
