What customers say

Maybe the best shop I know of in NYC. I’ve visited 3 times & have always walked out with a stacked tote bag. A-1 has a high volume of inventory that seems to cycle fast.

My favorite vinyl store in Manhattan! I've visited it many times and I always take a bunch of at least 20 records home. Second hand records are in very good shape, and they start at 2 dollars, can't beat that.

I stopped by A-1 Record Shop on a whim and ended up staying way longer than I planned. The place has such a funky, cozy vibe that instantly makes you feel at home, like you’re digging through a friend’s personal collection.
