Where to find Residency Records

What customers say

Nice shop overall. Plenty of space and very well-lit. Good selection of metal, punk, hardcore, & indie vinyl. Pricing is very high on new albums, and questionable on used stock. For instance, $10 each for old Herb Albert and Kansas records is ridiculous.

★★★★☆ — Ardroth, 2023-08

Great selection of Punk, Metal and Indie bands. Very nicely curated. Friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable, helpful staff. Prices are fair, not overpriced or underpriced. I was expecting premium prices due to the touristy nature of Salem but was pleasantly surprised. I wish I didn't live 700 miles from Residency!

★★★★★ — Michael, 2022-10

Great store and a wide variety of inventory. I had ordered a couple of Kool Keith albums and wound up buying several other albums after my arrival, thus dropping a cool $225, which was well worth it. Customer service was great and the staff was very knowledgable about the genre of music that i was interested in.

I've been buying from Residency Records since they first opened. Their prices are extremely fair. I've sold to them so many times over the years and I always get a fair deal. Sell in confidence. Breaux knows what he is doing. Residency Records is the best record store on the North Shore.
