Editorial Review for Newbury Comics – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Once upon a time, this was a fringe store catering mainly to punk-rock diehards and hipper-than-thou college kids. But ever since alternative rock started blending with the prevailing trends, Newbury Comics' time has come. The store does a great job of mixing the organization and layout of a chain store with the expertise and range of a specialist store.

The Goods
Newbury Comics should be your first stop for new rock and pop on CD and vinyl. As is the case with most chains, Newbury's tape selection isn't strong. The store does what it does brilliantly--prices are typically a few dollars less per CD here than at other retail chains--but if you're looking for something other than rock, you'll do better elsewhere. There's also a roomful of eclectic novelties, including posters, magazines and yes, comics.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I am a loyal Newbury Comics customer because they continue to offer a great selection of CDs at the best prices. My only gripe is that they don't have enough listening stations, so I go to Tower/Virgin and listen and then buy the CD at Newbury. They also have cool gifts, T-shirts, etc. If you are sick of paying $17.99 for CDs, head over immediately.

Pros: cheap

Cons: few listening station

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The lowest prices in Boston for new rock and pop CD's...period! If you're looking for Classical and Jazz then i'm afraid that you'll have to look elsewhere:)
