What customers say
It’s heaven for folks into City Pop (‘80s to early ‘90s Japanese Pop). The price is reasonable, the collections are great! Mariya Takeuchi must be proud to discover this place in NYC. Ah, other than that, there are also released-in-Japan records of non-Japanese artists here.
The vinyl shops in NYC have nothing on what Face Records NYC has to offer when it comes to Japanese albums. This is the SPOT for everything 50s to now. Video game music, ambient, jazz, rock, rap, anime, heck they even have American music but pressed in Japan for a visually pleasing cover of your favorites.
As a Japanese City Pop fan, if you want to find great City Pop artists to add to your collection, come to this store. They have every artist even Hip Hop albums. You might want to bring a little extra money though, some of the albums may be a little expensive but they come in great condition and sound great.
Face has three stores in Tokyo. This Brooklyn location is their one international outpost. It’s mostly Japanese vinyl releases of rock, jazz, and Japanese city pop, plus smaller offerings of some other genres. The stock is in excellent condition, well priced, and meticulously organized.
