Long Islanders Voted Looney Tunes in West Babylon the Best Record Store On Long Island!
Looney Tunes
31 Brookvale Ave.
West Babylon
631-587-7722

Looney Tunes was among the elite record stores on Long Island before it burned down in 2007. And since being rebuilt, it’s only gotten better. A lot better. Looney Tunes is run by people who love music—and who will talk your ear off about music, if you give them the chance. Which you should. Because the best thing about record stores is not necessarily the inventory—and, by the way, Looney Tunes’ inventory is second to none—but the passion shared by both patrons and staff, and the conversations between those two parties. Those conversations (and their participants) have no better venue than here.

What’s a record? They still make those except for collectors items?
Why do they call CD stores RECORD stores?
Okay, after your poor recommendation in the ‘Best Diner’ category, I figured I would run the litmus test and look up which music store you have deemed the best. I said to myself, “If they have Mr. Cheapo’s on the list, that is IT for this site.” And voila, there it is! The name leaves nothing to the imagination; the owner is rude, CHEAP, and unprofessional. Another royal fail- who runs this site??
What happened to Infinity Records ? That takes my vote for the best of Long Island. Try them after these other mooks. Best record store I have been to except for one in the village.
Looney Tunes is great, but man how I miss Slipped Disc records..The computer helped many muscians but it killed record stores..A double edged sword!!
