Always the first shop I stop at whenever I visit the city. Tons of selections available from all genres. Prices can be a little high at times (they are 100% firm on them, Ive tried negotiating a few times) but I have never had an issue with any records I have gotten here.
This place was great at repelling my money. We went in over the holidays and were the only people in the store, but neither of the two bored employees said hi, looked up or acknowledged us. Even worse, they put anti-theft stickers on all the labels of the 45s, and have snotty rule signs dotted about like Dont play these records unless you bring in your own portable record player.Yeah, right.
Another gem in Brooklyn USA. Crate diggers dream. Plucked a few records in there and at a very decent price. Staff is way cool also . Also I asked if they can locate a certain album and they found it. They charged me 20 bucks everywhere else E-bay and Discogs were over one hundred dollars. Go on a rainy day cause you can get lost in there a lot of room and a ton of records .Blows Human Head away price wise .

2022-04-05I acquired a dee-lite record that has been barely sitting in the bin and was the first record I saw in the store. The owner regaled me with a store how he had just acquired it and brought it down from long Island. I relayed that I was about to bring this record to Austin and treat it to a soiree and let other folks revel in the analogue grooves. I definitely will definitely be back on my next journey to Brooklyn.

2020-01-01This is one of the best records stores I have ever been too. They carry a wide range of genres, there is an awesome New York house/ tech selection. Jazz, HipHop, Latin, underground and vintage records you can find so much. Prices are also reasonable, this place is worth a visit if you are a vinyl collector. Check it out!

2021-06-15Dope selection of used records. Decent prices (Ive seen better, seen worse). I went late on Record Store Day (after the madness) and there was a DJ spinning in store. Dont know if thats a regular thing, but it was a really nice vibe and not too loud or distracting. Staff was cool; nice but not in your face.

2021-02-17Sweet little spot thats hidden amongst a lot of similar-looking buildings in this area. Watch for the red letters that indicate the store and you will find it easily. Interior of the store is decorated wonderfully, calm and safe atmosphere as well as a lively look thanks to the white walls and small neon sign which adds a flashy touch. There is a wide variety of international, jazz, techno, and I also saw quite a lot of reggae. And another positive I always seek for in a record shop, a listening station with headphones. And more than one of them! They sit in opposite ends of the store so you can have your space to listen. I gravitated towards the rock section, which resides farther to the back right corner, some great finds. AC/DC, Beatles, Eagles, and even Ray Manzarek. Lots of Rolling Stones as well. I tried them out on the listening station and they all sounded incredible, keep in mind they were second-hand records however clean and in great quality. Did not come upon any major scratches, warps, or distortions. Bought a Sting double LP record for only $8, great deal. Owner was easy to work with and friendly when I was checking out, had music playing from one of the records in the shop. Loved it here, will be coming back to dig up some more gems.
