BB's Records

BB's Records in Bergenfield is a destination record store for North Jersey crate diggers rather than a walk-by shop. The store emphasizes carefully prepared used vinyl: records are pre-listened to, professionally cleaned, placed in fresh inner sleeves, and protected with new outer sleeves.

The interview below comes from the BB's Records team and explains how they curate used vinyl, what they look for when buying collections, and what first-time visitors should check.

Interview with BB's Records

Who shops at BB's Records?

Our typical customer is either local or someone who searched for a "record store near me." Because we have very little walk-by traffic, we're truly a destination record store. People come here because they love music and enjoy the experience of crate digging.

Our used vinyl section is bright, organized, and carefully curated to make browsing enjoyable. Every used record is individually pre-listened to, professionally cleaned, placed in a fresh inner sleeve, and protected with a new outer sleeve. You can shop with confidence knowing each record is ready to enjoy or add to your collection.

Our new vinyl is arranged alphabetically, making it easy to find what you're looking for.

Selling your records

We always welcome people looking to sell records. Bob looks for clean albums with covers free of water damage. Classic rock is always popular in our store, and we're especially interested in buying records we don't already have in inventory. Albums from the 1990s are particularly desirable.

While we don't specialize in rare pressings or cater specifically to collectors seeking them, you might get lucky while crate digging. New collections are added to our used bins almost every day, so it's worth flipping through the crates each time you visit.

Something you might not expect

One of our hidden gems is an extensive collection of older country albums. It's not something most people expect to find in a Bergen County record store. These albums are all sealed and specially priced to sell, making them a great opportunity for fans of classic country music.

Listening parties

We regularly host listening parties sponsored by record companies, and they're always a lot of fun. When we have an upcoming event, we'll announce it on our Instagram page and invite customers to sign up. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot when registration opens.
