“Very nice place for CDs, DVDs, and records.”

What customers say

Love me some Nugs! CDs, cassettes, and vinyls galore. It’s a non-descript building & yes it’s dusty and slightly disorganized but honestly if you want a pristine store where you don’t have to rummage to find some treasures then just take your poser self to Urban Outfitters on Newbury.

This store is so so awesome. The owner is a cool dude who knows his stuff. I always walk in and find something. I'm a sucker for Hi-NRG disco and he always has some, and at good prices too! He's got stuff I've never been able to find at other record shops. A true gem. 10/10 would recommend.

★★★★★ — Leigh, 2023-08

This store is cool and funky, with a good selection of music. When you walk by, rain or shine or snow, there's a speaker playing jams while the store is open. The people who work there are nice. Only qualm is they don't have a great selection of band or concert posters.

★★★★☆ — Linn, 2014-09

Small variety of Caribbean music but I still found a few gems. I regret not purchasing the Sugar Aloes & Baron. Fun store overall, worth the trip if you're a music lover.
