Best Record Store In New York

Bleeker Street Records has decent vinyl. all music

Thank you for the responses! I will be sure to check out the Record stores mentioned above. I am primarily looking for a store that has a really good vinyl section. Does Academy Records have any Jazz, or is it all Classical as mentioned above. I listen to Jazz about 70% of the time and Classical the remaining 30%. Thanks again for the recommendations above!

Regards,

Rick

Do yourself a favor by getting on a train and going to the Princeton Record Exchange in New Jersey.They have a great Jazz lp selection and the prices are far more fair than any store in NYC.Classical selection was so so.Princeton had a huge Jazz lp section last year at this time and it was a trip that i would make again.The stores in NYC had pretty dismal and overpriced Jazz sections.Also try the Jazz Record center in NYC.Lots of marginal lp's at high prices,but nice people.

J&R, great selection, great values. If you spend over $200, and ask they will generally ship it out for free.
