Jack’s Music Shoppe

I came across to this music store last week and fell inlove. They have a large selection of vinyl, cds, cassettes and etc. I wanted to spend a whole day in the store since i wanted to buy everything there. I think everyone should go here.

I came across this place whilst venturing through the streets of Red Bank. Not too much to say about it. There’s a wide variety of CD’s, both new and used. I found a couple of used CDs for 5 bucks a piece (that I never thought I’d find, but took the dive to look for them anyway), which was a steal. You can also find a lot of vinyl and DVDs. They have a section upstairs dedicated to music books. It was small, but I really liked it in there… I also noticed how nice the guys working in there were. I don’t know if it’s a coastal Jersey thing, but I noticed most people being standoffish or not very friendly… so walking in here to be greeted and asking if we needed help was a breath of fresh air knowing that people around there have some happiness left in their souls. =P Anyway… I walked out with 5 albums for around 35 dollars. I was pleased. If I ever come back to Red Bank, I’ll swing through.

Enjoyable place to visit in the heart of Red Bank. Good customer service. Purchased new vinyl record and it skipped. Brought it back and exchanged for new one with no hassle. Nice selection of music. Overall ++++

So in love with this store. Classic gem that adds to the trendy, vintage Red Bank charm that I love. You’ll find everything you need. You’ll feel yourself going back into the old-​days of great films, rock n roll and everything in between. Can’t leave this store without picking up a little something. From new to used vinyl, instruments, cd’s, films, little musical trinkets, they have EVERYTHING to fulfill the ultimate music-lover’s palette and it is one of the last true record stores.

I usually hate going into music stores. I feel like it’s the same store, over and over again. Not this place! My boyfriend and his friend wanted to stop in, so I joined. I was surprised to see such a diverse selection of music. CDs and vinyl! I don’t have a record player, but I will buy vinyl from time to time. I love the cover art and there’s just something nostalgic about collecting albums. I was impressed when I saw multiple Iron Maiden CDs… As well as all of the Country albums they had. (real country, nothing you hear on the radio, unless you’re in West Virginia) What can I say, I have a wide range of interest when it comes to music!
They also have a bunch of cult horror DVDS! As well as other genres.
Pretty cool place. You’re bound to find something to buy!

Jack’s Music has 10’s of thousands of CD’s, the only such shop left in Monmouth County. They have an eclectic selection of movies, tons of choices on vinyl, sheet music, pop culture t-​shirts and even musical instruments. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. If they don’t have something, they will order it for you! Support local record stores and support the artists that you love by buying your music at Jack’s… Support Jack too… so he keeps the damn store open!; P

Such a cool shop, hard to find shops like this now a days.

They have a good selection of new and used CDs, a well-​curated selection of vinyl, and a large selection of music from local bands (besides Springsteen and Monster Magnet). I never leave empty-​handed.

Not many places like this left where you can buy a cd or better yet… VINYL!!! They have new, used, t shirts, sheet music, dvd’s, etc Decent selection, although I’d like to see a bigger metal section (hint hint). Like I said, these places are becoming rare. Support your local record shop. Even if it is a cd and not vinyl, there is nothing like being able to physically hold the music in your hand. Read the insert while listening to it. Stare at the artwork. Follow with the lyrics. You can’t do that with a download!!!

Our music supply on vinyl. They have used cd’s and vinyls in good condition and cheap-​you just have to have patient and have at least 2h to search the store for your favorite music

An actual record store! This place was pretty cool. It had older original pressings along with new editions of popular 80’s and 90’s music that is becoming more and more common. I was able to find an old Disney record box set for under $ 5. Really reminded me of the albums my sister and I used to listen to when we were young. Prices seemed more than fair. Jack’s also had a large selection of current, new and used CDs along with a guitar shop in the back.
Checking these reviews it puzzles me about peoples call for a boycott. Who cares if the guy is an A-​hole. Just buy your stuff and leave. Would you rather have a small business like this in your community or buy your music at Walmart. Some people have no idea what they have.

Sure, Jack is a bit gruff he but he makes up for it by hiring the most amazing people to work in his store. If you aren’t sure what is good, head to the back by the sheet music loft, where there is a selection of staff picks that is always spot on. Used vinyl, and opportunities to sell your own collections are also nothing to dismiss.
Jack’s always has a great selection of music.
The pro shop at the back has every kind of guitar string you could hope to find, and the loft upstairs has lots of sheet music and arrangements to choose from. They also have blank composition notebooks with staff bars for budding composers.
Check the front counter for sampler CD giveaways, news about concert tickets, and cute gift items as well as box sets.

The owner of this store is extremly rude and unprofessional. How this store has survived under his watch is beyond me. Take your money elsewhere.

I am a fan of Jack’s. Whenever I am in town, I will stop by to check out their latest arrived used vinyls. One day while looking through some vinyls, a customer showed me a picture of the Boss on his phone and said that he was in the store last week! Oh I would have killed to run into Bruce Juice and invite him to chill with me at the Broadway Diner! I never go in looking for anything in particular, but more times than not I walk out with an unexpected purchase. I give ⁴⁄₅ stars because the staff doesn’t seem exactly thrilled to work here. I mean come on if the Boss is making frequent appearances at your place of work, how can you NOT BE happy?

Very nice selection of vinyls (New and old). If you want used vinyls, plan to spend hours there. Those bins are not that organized, but they try. The new vinyls are organized fine.

Record stores are a dying breed and Red Bank is lucky to have one. It’s one of the few stores in that town that have some sort of real, genuine appeal, and make the schlep into it so very worth it.
There are TWO things that solidify my fandom of the store, and it goes as follows: the excellent used/​donated section — they have a huge section right when you walk in bursting with donated, discounted CDs. God knows its hard to actually find something worth buying but thank goodness its there! Who doesn’t love shifting through old CDs for treasure? The same goes for their records in the back — I found some awesome, awesome records shifting through their sections. I recommend the newly donated for the best.
My other, second, love for this store is their selection of otherwise hard to find music. I don’t know many CD/​Record stores that carry everything Will Oldham, let alone a single release by the man, so I was happy when I found it.
The reason for the lack of 5 stars is merely their small new record section, their location and their hours. Otherwise, thank you Jack’s for continuing to give life to records!

The manager is rude (not Tim) so I refuse to shop here which is really sad because we should be supporting local record stores.

This is one of my favorite places back home. Honestly, Jack’s helped me expand my musical tastes so much in middle/​high school. There really aren’t any record stores anywhere in Monmouth County as good as Jack’s. They also have the obligatory shrine to Monmouth County’s own Bruce Springsteen in the window, which I find hilarious.
It’s also right across the street from Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Really, you can’t go wrong.

It’s a shame that there are no more record stores. I should say, there aren’t as many record stores as there were back in the day. Nowadays, you’re stuck going to Best Buy or Target or Walmart to buy CD’s and DVD’s.
Thank god for places like Jack’s Music Shoppe. I was able to snatch up 10 used CD’s for less than $ 50. One of those was a rare Billy Bragg CD, which made me squeal with delight.
Because they’ve been around for a while, the store is very well stocked and has a really good amount of older catalog titles. The employees are all really friendly and very knowledgeable. Yes, sort of like the dudes at Championship Vinyl.
And best of all, it’s located right next to Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards’s office in Red Bank. You know Holden and Banky, don’t you? They created «Bluntman and Chronic.»
Surely I’m not the only one who’s seen «Chasing Amy»…

As much as I like my iPod and iTunes I really miss going into stores like Jack’s Music. I still go into the store but I seldom buy anything which is a real shame since Jack’s is cool CD/​Music store. I usually go in to hear what they are playing on the store’s sound system because it is always something that I have not heard before.
The store is well stocked and carries deep catalogs. They have a help desk (like a book store) that will special order hard to find things.
Jack’s is also a good source of Sheet Music and they also sell a wide range of musical instruments.
No trip to Red Bank, New Jersey can be complete without a stop at Jack’s Music Shoppe.
