Generation Records, 210 Thompson St, New York, NY 10012 Co-Op 87 - Sam Valenti IV “To this day, their curation focuses heavily on punk, alternative, and rock – all of my favorites!” Good Records NYC, 218 E 5th St, New York, NY 10003 Generation Records - Justine D. From the dollar bins to the wall trophies, it’s perfectly curated and all heat.” “It’s still one of the East Village’s hidden gems and my go-to spot to buy and sell used records. I find their whole perspective really cool because it’s such an agnostic outlook on music – you’ll find everything there.”Ĭaptured Tracks, 195 Calyer St, Brooklyn, NY 11222 Good Records NYC - Nick Catchdubs “They get amazing collections recently, they came up on a huge collection of early 80s, UK indie, Factory Records, and early dance stuff.

VINYL STORE BROOKLYN MAC
Whether you like Chick Corea or Mac DeMarco, chances are one of the purveyors listed here will have what you’re looking for, and probably a few things you didn’t even know you needed. That’s why we’ve partnered with Genius - the Brooklyn-based company devoted to lyrics and musical knowledge - to bring you a list of some of the best of the boroughs, with selections from a few friends featured in For New York. It makes sense that New York City, with its long historical connection to music and its fervent support of small businesses, plays host to a handful of expertly curated record stores.

These largely small operations, run by people with a passion for high fidelity, act as stubborn bastions of a certain kind of culture.

Records, despite any perceived limitations in regards to both breadth and bulk, have earned the type of cult-like, devoted following that has kept record stores, however small, open against all odds. In the last five decades, we have cycled through our fare share of methods for music consumption, but few have endured in the same manner as vinyl.
