Best Record Store In New York

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

Met a guy at a record show in Florida. He handed me his card, info below.

Colony Records - 1619 Broadway(corner 49th st)NY,NY. Can be reached at 212-265-1260.

So this might be another source to check out, although I do not have any first hand experience with this store.

If you like jazz, you gotta go to Downtown Music Gallery. It's not that big but they have got all the good and hard to find stuff. The owners really know their stuff and they even have free in store concerts of some of the best jazz artists in the world.

Next time I'm in New York it would be at the top of my list.

Is Colony Records still in business?
J&R Musicworld is the last "full catalog" record store in NYC. Sad!

For jazz, the best address is:
Jazz Record Center
236 W. 26th St.
Suite 804 (take the elevator to the 8th floor)
Thousands of used and new LPs and CDs. Also choice of DVDs.
The owner, Fred Cohen, is friendly and knowledgeable.
