About Us

​Andrew Spina moved to the 'Hub City' in 2005 to attend Rutgers & quickly embraced the chaotic underground music scene that defines New Brunswick culture. After graduating from college, he found himself working at Amber Lion Antiques on George St restoring old furniture and learning about antiques. The antique store had a small selection of records for sale - Spina quickly saw how many people were coming in to look at the antiques but leaving with vinyl records. Being a record collector himself since he was a kid, Spina could see the renewed interest in vinyl records building up and decided to try opening up a record store. Spina Records opened its doors in 2014 and was originally located in a cramped but cozy basement shop on Easton Ave. We quickly outgrew our little space and moved locations in 2017 to a larger space. New Brunswick was the perfect location for a vinyl record shop with its strong independent music scene and history of being the breeding ground of many influential bands, musicians and artists. After 11 years open as a brick and mortar, Spina Records has shifted its business model and is now an online store with mobile record cart locations throughout New Jersey.
