I gave Brendon the First thumbs up on this video. Had to wake up at 4:01 AM Mountain Standard Time. Anthony needs to get a t-shirt with his face on it that says: "Don't Be A Dick" as I would get 2 of them in size Large. He has said that phrase many times, he should own it. These days it is hard to find somebody who talks straight with no bullshit. Anthony is like that and that's why I greatly like him. It is also why I like this channel and Brendon. We live in an age where B.S. is king and you've got always "read between the lines", but not with you two. So not to be weird or anything but I want to throw out a hug to you both as a friend. Thanks for always making my day brighter.

Thanks Steven! Here’s a 👍 for you!

I use to head to the back right hand corner of that store between 1993-98 religiously just to find an 80's metal cassette that i might have missed from the glory days . Still mostly only into rock and metal from 83-92 .

Great video Brendon!!! If I lived closer, I would definitely visit Anthony’s store!!! I’m amazed anyone can make it selling records!!!

Wish I lived closer....that store is cd heaven! Anthony is a cool guy....you too Brendon. Love the videos with you guys!!! I had reached out to Anthony online before...got right back to me....just sent a list for a few things...waiting to hear back. I will keep buying cds till I can't. I do email not Instagram...old school 😂 . I worked in a record store for 6 years...yes its fun but more work than people think. Hats off to Anthony for keeping physical media alive.

I love music and can listen to most but my love is 80's Glam Metal!! We didn't call it that back in the day but 80's and early 90s Rock/metal is what I love and what I buy. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Most important thing if you gave that kind of business is love the music of course. Guys you are great it s always fun to watch.

Thanks again these are great man. As someone with a goal of starting an online store and then a physical store in the next decade or so it’s soo cool to get this insight. I’ve always known that the 80/20 rule is big with record stores, any store really, but that basically there’s a few different breads and butters that make each section of these few years or those few years work

Anthony is a legend!!!

You two are freaking awesome. 🔥 I could listen to your conversations for hours. 🔥 Always very interesting topics. 🔥

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the banter between us! We always have a good time filming and discussing topics. 👍

I love that the first minute and a half is just you two being super polite 😂 you guys are awesome

Physical media can't be cancelled. That's the main driving force for me to ditch streaming.

I really dig your channel Brendon, and I love the videos featuring Sound Exchange and Anthony. That guy is so real! Keep doing these, they are exceptional!

I really love these videos of you and Anthony in the store. They are so interesting and funny too. I really want to visit this store one of these days. Very cool Brendon. Your videos are a daily highlight.

Was in to see Anthony and the store today Feb 29....a blast as usual, btw the apple mug in center shot was a gift from me to Anthony. Very proud!

Fantastic video ! Have a day off tomorrow- making the quick drive to visit for the 1st time. Cant wait! I still grab vinyl, but I’ve swapped back to CDs…. Too much great music for a great price. Looking forward to finding some gems !

Record organization! When I shopped at Wentzel's in Downey, California (which originally was a recording studio where The Chantays recorded "Pipeline") I always had to confirm the rule to "keep the dot in the upper right corner" when browsing the used 45 singles in their plastic sleeve protectors in the back room.

Love these videos. Need to make the drive to the store. I get all excited when I see all the CDs you have in stock

I wish I had a record store by me!! Growing up we had a few good ones besides the big stores in the malls!! We have a great store but it's not very close and I haven't checked on them since covid but I'm handicap and I couldn't get around in the store nowadays. My wheelchair definitely don't fit but even with my walker I would struggle!! I found a few great sellers on ebay but it's hard to find things I want but I do find deals but I would love to have a store like that!!

Been to this store…rad place..need to get back and I will

You hit it on the nail, when you buy a cd or record and play it, that is what you get instead commercial adds to no end of iheart extra. Everything has gone woke, I have just started to just put in a cd and start listening just like when I was a kid.

Hi guys I've seen a recent interview steve brown from trixter goes in sound exchange and bought ace frehleys new album 10,000 volts that's cool as he co produced the album .

I drive 5 miles out of my way to go to sound exchange and buy my vinyl. Best prices around.

These videos with Anthony make me wanna be a little more brave in talking to my local record store guys. I tend to be introverted and think my questions will be dumb or too obvious but maybe i should just ask next time.

@BrendonSnyder

Yeah totally! No question is ever “dumb”. It might seem simple but it could be complex and that’s why it’s good to ask. And if they don’t want to talk to you then it’s their loss! Good luck…I’m an introvert myself so know exactly how you feel. 😂

I miss record shops - not many left here in the UK where I live. -the amount of times I blind bought albums just because of the cover ha ha. I buy everything online these days, love my vinyls cds and tapes - extreme metal is my bag, thrash death grind and black - im 51 yrs old and been the same for the last 30 years

Our local record store closed down.We need a New tecord store where i live.

Great topic, fellas! Question for Anthony, is shoplifting/shrink a big problem you experience in the business?

That would be awesome! Make sure to allow several hours to go through everything. For me it’s usually a 3 hr visit.

I gotta get back there, it's been a loooong time, like decades.

Hey guys! Good stuff as always. I have a question for Anthony for a future episode: how do you separate Anthony the collector and Anthony the shop owner? I am thinking about opening a record store myself but I'm constantly thinking about how am I going to contain myself from always taking things home with me for my personal collection. Cheers guys!

I would actually love it if there were more record stores. I hate ordering online and waiting two weeks for it to show up. Plus, if I walk into a store I may see something ELSE I didn't know existed and get that too, or something that's on a deep sale and can add to my collection for cheap. I walked into Target today to get the Special Edition of the new Judas Priest album and it wasn't on the floor. Plenty of Taylor Swift and Kpop but no Priest, so I left. Only to find out later that they had it but it was "In the back". So they lost a sale by simple stupidity. (I did GET the cd as a friend of mine picked it up at HER Target and will give it to me on Thursday.) But I think a record store would alleviate a lot of that not being able to find stuff. Of course that JP CD is exclusive to Target but you get what I mean. I would love to see a record store resurgence. I used to love going into the stores at whatever mall I was at and just wandering around for a while. I think the kids of today would like that as well once they are aware of it.

It’s hard to be famous😂 No it was a joke… Great video as always👌👌

I dont see any cassettes in the store. I am huge into them and they are very fun to collect.

Real quick, the way you guys were talking about how Anthony listens to the radio (my names Anthony haha) and it’s nicer these days to not choose what you’re going to listen to, that’s how I’ve been treating my music collection, it’s all out of order and I just spin the next album in the stack and I can’t say how much more interesting every song is when you didn’t choose to listen to it and it just came on

When it comes to music, to hell with streaming!. Physical media is the BEST!! I prefer CDs. Can one order online from The Sound Exchange?

I hear that alot about my Ohio record stores. Somebody I'm talking to says there is still record stores out there.
