Great store! I found some great cassette tapes in here for great prices! Most of them costing around $2-$5. I recommend this place to anyone interested in buying records or cassettes!

I found so many classic spanish cassettes here and for 1$ a piece, definitely was a great experience to visit this store. The gentleman running the storefront was extremely helpful.

Great shop! Large selection of vinyls at decent prices. Definitely a favorite of mine!🤙🏼

Very cool selection and great prices! Tons of unique stuff.

Ive purchased there many times but because of the pandemic hadnt visited recently. I went there this past Saturday. Theyre only allowing 4 customers at a time in the store. You have to wait on line outside. For me the wait time was about 45 minutes. There were about 10 people behind me. Im not complaining about the wait. Its to be expected in these times. Im just glad the store is open and busy.Once in the store I didnt find anything I really wanted. The jazz selection was particularly sparse. Thats OK - it happens sometimes in the used record world. Maybe I just went at a bad time. But Ive never come away from that store without finding something I wanted. I probably wont go back anytime soon, though. I seem to have better luck at Discogs.

Lot of records and the guys are very helpful!

Just a perfect record store!

I’ve been here a few times now and always been able to find a few good finds! Large and diverse selection too.

Great staff and selection

A great record store in NYC. I always find something when I come here, and the staff is super friendly.

Nice... coming back, good selection of vinyl... old school style, love it!

Great, honest prices, and the owner is kind, friendly, and professional!

Very neat, you could spend hours here

This place is superb! I’ve sold old records there twice. The place is very professionally run. A long-haired gentleman took care of me both times. He evaluated the records I brought and told me which records he’d buy and which he’d pass on. He paid a fair price and treated me very nicely, Each time I went, the whole process was done in less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend it.

Amazing selection, classically disgruntled record store employees.

Great place for jazz and much more at affordable prices.

Good selection of lps, great staff, well organized place for sure, clean and convenient location.

I loved this place. The guy in charged reviewed my records and offered me prices very much in accord with my expectations. Theyre quick, respectful and fair.Great place.

Well priced, records sorted logically (mostly second hand) picked up a couple of LP rarities and though they did need a good clean they did brush up really well and play through great. I had to take a star away reluctantly because of the incessant droning on of some guys nasal accent as he kept the staff occupied with his tales of bass playing glory.

New arrivals, styles... separation, turnables to check vinyl and the most important, most of the vinyl is SECOND HAND so you can find great records on very good shape and cheap price. great!!

Brilliant

Nice clean store, nice staff, good area, decent selection. I didnt find too many great deals, but it wasnt as overpriced as some. I would say just an OK selection and average new york prices. worth a visit if you are in the area. Not a lot in the bargain bins

Good selection of records.

Great selection of music, old and new, rare and not-so-rare. jazz, soul, disco, latin, african, house, rock, funk, world music, gospel, etc etc etc

Great prices, good jazz variety. Not so good for pop/electronic music. Still, awesome place.

My favorite record stop while visiting NY. Cool employees, nothing overpriced, good selection, good vibe.

Friendly staff and a nice flow of room for people so you are not being huddled on top of one another. There are listening stations for you to hear the used records before you buy them to see what condition they are in, or just see what the album sounds like in general. Prices are eh but worth it with the fact you wont find some of these records for lower than that on eBay or some other record store. No pre-determined spots for bands, so just pick a spot and start flipping through to find a gem or two to go home with.

The best store in New York to buy vinyl, highly recommended 5⭐️

I love the.place excellent diversed styles, wish staff was nicer, but i truly recommend this place!!!

For used record store nyc this is place is a novice particularly given the dying breed of these kinds of stores and all the more reason to flock to them, with that being said-this store is fantastical! They have a superb collection and variety, and I could spend hours searching through them all. I also dig the service!

Records were a little overpriced. And the cashier didnt give me the discount deal that was posted on the window. I was told that I had to remind her of it before she rang me out. Why should I have to remind her when it posted right by her!?

You can spend a whole day searching, very ecclectic store. Hidden gems galore

Always a joy to visit.

Great spot to hunt for vinyl at reasonable prices

Vynol records shop, vynol records only. Well organized. Good selection of hard to find records.

I want recomend this place: hi variety in jazz, clasic rock and clasic music, and low cost, If you go to NYC you must visit there.

For LP jazz lover , dont miss out this place ! Thats some dollar great deal hiding .. Big surprise .. But no testing .. Fair enough

These guys re so friendly and they have every record

Extraordinary collection of classical music, very good selection of jazz. Nothing extraordinary on rock/pop.

Best record store, amazing finds in the $1 bin!

Horrible prices paid for my VINYAL l know at lest 5 of the records are worth $30+. And what they offered was like a $1.00 a record. And my VINYAL was like brand new. They lose cause now I wont bring my best stuff. Its like they give u crack head prices. Just cause Im selling stuff doesnt mean Im a crack head. There lost

Nice collection of aclacti records, but the price is a bit high

Lots good music in academy records.

Good selection. I typically visit each time I visit NYC. Dont think I have ever left empty handed.

They buy vinyl records, the guy was very cool, looked at everything with an expert eye and offered us a fair amount for our items! Paid us the cash, all done in 5 min flat. If youre there to buy- THE CHOICE AND VARIETY IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! TOTALLY WORTH THE TRIP!!!

A real paradise for vinyl lovers, almost everyone will find something to their liking, it is better to look into the store in Brooklyn, it seemed to me the largest, on the spot and you can listen to the selected disc, the staff is knowledgeable and responsive

Vinyl, vinyl, and more vinyl!

It has a lot of variety of disc at a good price

Very good record

A reasonable price of $ 1

Excellent place! A lot of variety and good price!

Very good options in vinyls

Variety and classic and old records
