Pittsburgh native here, love going to Jerry's for a little record hunt but haven't been able to get back for a while. Jerry just passed away recently sadly, hopefully his son or whoever took over the store keeps it going for years to come.
I'm not sure if his son runs it. but he retired from owning the store in 2017, few years or so before he passed . A guy named Chris runs it now and he's great also. Rip jerry Weber. I've been shopping with him since 1991 when I when I was only 11 years old. Started visiting him more often after I turn 21.
That store is huge. Back in the ''80s or '90s, I visited Pittsburgh and did some crate digging. I've always thought 45 collecting was big in the area because the stores I visited all had huge and well organized selections of 45s. Also, getting around was a nightmare because of the road layouts -- it would be a lot easier now with GPS.
They had a ton of 45’s. Just didn’t have time to browse through them unfortunately. I really could have spent all day at this store. Quite the selection!
I visited here sometime around 2016 and mainly just dug through the 45 boxes. Got one by the group The Palace Guard, as I recall. Wish I had had more time to look. I had my best luck at Attic Records in nearby Millville.
Awesome man , great store you picked where I live. Great finds too - I discovered curiosity killed the cat at the Andy Warhol Museum here in Pittsburgh they actually play episodes of his TV shows where they were featured on it. I love that Circle album especially turn down day, and baby you're free. Big record and sneaker collector here. Thanks for visiting my city, looking forward to checking out more of your Channel.
Thanks Chuck! I didn’t even know Andy Warhol had a tv show? I have been a fan of CKTC since the 80’s but very few people have heard of them. Thanks for watching!
I've heard of Jerry's Records via TH-cam about 10 or so years ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to stop in, I've only been to Pennsylvania once, and that was to visit relatives in Allentown, so we drove right past Pittsburgh. Oh well, next time! Great scores! Have fun in PA!
Wow, this is great Jeff, I lived in Pittsburgh for six years. Wow, that place is HUGE! You have to find something there. There are a bunch that I would grab. Picked up some cool stuff Jeff plus you experienced a great store 😊.
Definitely a radio station or two sold them their vinyl library. Lots of obscure late 70's & 80's bands in the bins. Sometimes , those Promo 12" have awesome non-LP & live tracks. One of my favorite obscure artists , David Werner is from Pittsburgh , PA.
Yes, there were more than a few promo 12” singles. I agree, there are some interesting non-album tracks to be found on most of them. Wish I’d had more time to browse!
Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit great song. Wood Beez is a great song by Scritti Politti. I think they reissued their first album a few years back but I missed out on it.
I've actually been to that record store. I was visiting a friend from college in 2018 and we spent a few hours there. He was telling me that the original owner, Jerry, died recently
That place was really big! You passed on Girls Can’t Help It? Lol. Saw a Jeff Beck there haven’t seen before. And Debbie Harry. Looks like you lucked out on finding a lot of 12” singles! INXS! Awesome band!

I was definitely impressed with the size of the store and the selection. Whoever is running the place now seems to be doing a good job!

@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 I'll find the link for you - I think it was a public access show in NYC
I see a Dr on the street Andy Warhol grew up on.

It’s fantastic! A super store of records!
Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit great song. Wood Beez is a great song by Scritti Politti. I think they reissued their first album a few years back but I missed out on it.
I actually was able to pick up an original copy a month or so ago. Not easy to find!
you got Song For America, good man!
The title track is one of my favorite prog rock songs.
Gee this just came up on my feed. Boy I wish I had seen this. This is almost in my back yard Well… 35 miles from me.
Have you never been Tony? The place is enormous!
I wouldn't want to help these guys move, Holy Sky Rockets Batman, That's a lot of vinyl!!! Peace!
Awesome pick up I love j Giles

Greetings from Stockholm....
Thanks for stopping by Hasse!
You are near Tony P
Yes! I wonder if he shops here?
Never was that inxs
I’ve never seen it on vinyl either!
They have a lot of records....that no one wants.
All that wax and that Metal section was pathetic!
Big big shop but a bit out of date and overpriced? I can say whatever I like not living close no!
