Second hand vinyl in NYC

For a little east village shopping check out Academy Records, Gimme Gimme Records, and Good Records. And the Academy Records annex in Williamsburg is also worth checking out.

I don't know which NYC shops are still open, I moved out of there years ago...

I recently got back into vinyl and found the largest record store in the country is here in St Pete Florida!!!!

Banana's music (www.musicfinder.com) houses 3,000,000 records!!!! I spent an hour and couldn't hold any more vinyl so I left, but I will surely be back!!!! I have really been enjoying spinning vinyl, and am amazed to find such a local resource for software, which has only further enhanced my enjoyment!

I second the first post's recommendations of Academy Records (on 10th street between Lafayette and 3rd. They'll let you try records and have a good selection and are very knowledgeable). If you're brave, you'll go to this place:

The Thing
1001 Manhattan Ave
Brooklyn NY

They have probably the largest collection in NYC, but it's a pretty gnarly experience. I think everything is 2 bucks and under, and I'd say bring some rubber gloves and just start sifting through. You can find some CRAZY stuff. I know this sounds crazy, but I'd also check craigslist. I purchased a whole collection of 900 records in mint condition from some guy who just wanted to dump them. Costs me 50 cents a record, and I'm talking primo stuff!

Otherwise,

Junk
Intersection of North 9th St. & Driggs Ave
Brooklyn, NY

The Jazz Record Center
236 w. 26th street room 804--huge selection
Manhattan

Westsider Records (big collection, good stuff)
233 W. 72nd Street, New York, NY, 10023
(212) 874 1588

Anything else is on google!

Cheers!
