Swung by here while in town on the honeymoon! I was ecstatic by the selections, then found way more below in the cubbyholes! Shop keep also knew plenty of music history and is the breathing heart of the store, always lively and willing to chat (and knows the local Cinci Shake It Records)!

A must if you are in Salem! Good to see a section dedicated to Brazilian music. Fair prices and attentive grading on the covers of the records displayed. The owners were nice and friendly, hope to return soon!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

I have my grandfather’s John McCormack record, RCA Victor recording of Berceuse acoustically recorded on March 25, 1914 on one side and Ave Maria recorded on March 31, 1914 on the other side. Perfect condition. Would you be interested in that?

Unfortunately that wouldn't be of interest as old 78's are not in much demand, unless they are blues, rock 'n roll, some jazz, RnB and the like. Thank you, though!

Hi Ann...thanks for your message. We will check when we're in the shop on Tuesday. We should have a copy of that, but we want to make sure. It might be best to call the shop on Wednesday! Thank you!

Can I just bring some old LP's and 45's from the 70's to see if you are interested, or do I need an appointment? Do you also take CD's?

Thanks for your question, and our good friend Jeff who left an answer here is right on! We purchase by appointment-only, and prefer to screen over the phone or by email what you have to offer. We selectively purchase few CDs these days. Our store FB page and Google Business page updates and posts have more information. Thanks for thinking of us!

hello, do you have vinyl records of brazilian music? chico buarque, tim maia or jorge ben!?

Lorena Z. | Aug 18, 2021
Record Exchange | Aug 18, 2021

Hello Lorena...we do sometimes have Brazilian records (LPs) by Jorge Ben, Milton Nascimento, Os Mutantes, Lo Borges, Chico Buarque and others, but they are quite popular and sell very quickly. We may have a couple of records presently, but the shop is closed on Mondays. There are some we can still order as reissues. We often have copies of João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Caetano Veloso LPs as well, but they too, sell very quickly with the popularity of Brazilian music. Hope this helps!

Hi Stephen...thanks for your question. Do you want Manhattan Transfer on CD or LP?

Record Exchange | Aug 18, 2020

Hello...we don't have record players for sale, but there are some stereo repair shops on the North Shore that sell second hand turntables, receivers and other audio equipment. There are new record players that you can purchase on line or even at stores like Target. Thank you!

Record Exchange | Aug 18, 2021

Yes...we have gift card, each one "hand crafted", in any amount you wish!

Do they buy old records from you?

Matt Nobrega | Aug 19, 2019
Jeff Bellin | Aug 19, 2019

Of course. That's how they make their money. But they need to be in excellent condition and fairly in demand. The latter is relative. If they don't already have lots of copies and they think it will eventually sell, they'll likely take it.

The record exchange is the best store of music I have ever been to! I have found hard to find recordings I could not find any where else the people there are very knowledgeable, and helpful.

Yes & Vinyl, Only an excellent condition. Depending on popularity and resell.

I have an extremely rare Rush Signals Mersury 1982 Mexico Pressing. It's in Mint Condition. What's it worth?
