Best Record Store Waterbury Near Me

4worldlovers: The Record Fair at Counter Weight Brewing is this Sunday! We previously posted about the list of vendors here.

We’ve got a list of DJs as well! A crew downstairs and a crew upstairs for maximum listening enjoyment!

DJ Lord Lewis, The Velvet Knight will be playing contemporary underground funk, soul, reggae/dub, and balearic grooves. DJ Lord Lewis the Velvet Knight is a self-made mythology and a secret wizard of the underground. You could say for the sake of explanation he might be an avid record collector, psychedelic librarian, vinyl Disc Jockey, and host of the legendary Rumpus Room Radio Show on WESU 88.1 FM, which has been on the air since 2002. Check out some of his mixes / radio shows here: https://www.mixcloud.com/lordlewis/

Sir RoundSound is our ambassador from New London – a dancefloor DJ specializing in soul, funk, ska/rocksteady/reggae, post-punk. https://www.facebook.com/DJSirRoundSound

DJ Ratkiller will be spinning eclectic subculture rocker jams: new wave, punk /post punk, power pop, junk-shop glam, 60s reggae/rocksteady ska, northern soul & maybe some gangster funk.

Chef Mark – Whether in the kitchen, or behind the decks, Chef Mark serves up delicious platters that get you hooked. Some of his favorite ingredients are soul, blues, and reggae, as well as other flavors sourced from Africa and Latin America. You can also expect a dash of 70s punk sprinkled throughout. https://www.instagram.com/markscialabba/

Dayansiiita has been reigning over hi-fi’s across Brooklyn and NY for years now, but the high priestess has agreed to cast her spells for us here at Counter Weight. Expect to be enchanted by the sounds of the Caribbean. A potent brew of kompa, reggae, guaguanco, son, and cumbia. https://linktr.ee/dayansilva

Jahoctopus AKA Christian Dimenna always shines and the autumn months are when he truly radiates. The legendary Lovecraft artist will treat us to a mix of psych, soul, soundtracks, and more. Heavy on the 70s vibes. https://www.instagram.com/jahoctopus/


Shaki has your itinerary planned. Expect a trip around the world, but you can leave your passport at home. No baggage fees, no fees for more leg room… You’ll be traveling first class. https://www.instagram.com/shakipresents


Hey all! We have too many 45s / 7″s and we want to have less of them! We have 42 unprocessed unpriced boxes full of 45s we have not scoured through. We have not cherry picked or even looked through these. We’re going to put them all out next weekend and you can dig through to find gems and they’ll all be $1.


(The 45 rack with priced records withstanding; just talking about these untouched boxes.)


This month we had a chat with Matt Westfall, owner of Counter Weight Brewing Co. We’ve known Matt for years through music (going to punk shows in our youth) and Counter Weight has been a venue for music here and there since it opened (originally in Hamden and now in Cheshire). It’s also where we hold an annual record fair (coming up in October again). We talk about how Counter Weight is ramping up their events schedule with music and comedy and various other events. We also do talk about beer. It’s true. We talk about the Counter Weight accolades and how they like to take input from anyone under their roof and getting involved is highly encouraged – generally trying to teach from within and grow.

We don’t talk about sprint car racing or animating Bob’s Burgers (things done by other people with the name Matt Westfall). We do talk about the role bocce has played in his life and the art and naming of beers. Conversation stretches out from there.

There is a show we’ll be selling records at coming up on July 6th, 2023:

Psyched that this is officially out and it also did very well in pre-order. We’ve kept back some records for in store and are no longer selling it online ourselves on vinyl (CD and Tape are still available online from us) so if you come by the shop you can pick this up while the copies we have last.


Vinyl 2xLP (gatefold sleeve, large poster of cover art and lyric insert) available on:

4worldlovers: Revolution Records is NorthWest Connecticut's premiere record store. We carry all kinds of records, from Soundtracks to Country to Heavy Metal. We take pride in the fact that one of the most often-heard statements from our customers is, "I've never seen this before!". We carry mostly records which have been previously loved, but we also work with several distributors and can get any of the new releases and re-issues available. We are also the only Record Store Day approved store within a 45 mile radius!

While we specialize in records, we also carry a varied assortment of CDs, sports cards, comics and memorabilia. We offer a 3rd Party Trading service for people who trade sports and non-sports cards over the Internet.

So many people tell horror stories of getting ripped off in trades. No one should ever have to feel insecure about doing trades over Facebook groups or any Internet marketplace. Revolution Records offers a 3rd party trading service for the small sum of $4 per partner, per trade. For just $4, you have the security of knowing that your cards will arrive, and you will not be the victim of fraud. Here's how it works:

You and your partner both send your card, $4 and a pre-printed mailing label to us

When both parties cards arrive, we take photos and send them to your trading partner

Memphis 1975: singer-songwriter, Van Duren is touted as the next Paul McCartney. Managed by Andrew Loog Oldham and playing with Jody Stephens and Chris Bell of Big Star, Van releases one album and then disappears into obscurity. 40 years later two Australian friends find the lost album and embark on a journey to find out what happened to Van Duren. As they dig deeper, they find themselves a part of the story.


We’ve been sitting on this news for a while now, but it’s time to let folks know. Our dear friend and fellow musician, Van Duren, a Memphis artist, has had a documentary made about him. Please check out the trailer here. Doug, a friend of Van’s for the past 40 years, is also in the movie. Check it out and share it everywhere!!
