“Incredible selection of vinyl and DVDs PLUS an in-store cat called sushi who was incredibly friendly and made my visit”

What customers say

Cannot point what's better of this jewel in Bushwick, the music selection, the cozy ambiance, the smell mix of books, vinyls and bergamota or the lazy cats always ready for a scratch.

★★★★★ — Meow, 2025-05

Quite literally the best record store I've ever been to. The owner Nigel somehow manages to consistently have all of my favorite artists/albums stocked, from all eras and genres—indie to metal and everything else you could imagine.

★★★★★ — Ally, 2025-10

I haven’t shopped in store, but I placed an order with their online site and just wanted to say that Nigel, the owner, is fantastic! I had a quick inquiry so I called the listed phone number, and he picked up and already knew what my order was without me needing to pull it up because he referenced my phone number.

★★★★★ — Annie, 2025-06

I have had to sell my records a few times during rough times and this shop has been my go-to. He is very fair and takes his time to look every single record up for pricing. As far as the shop goes, his record selection is very eclectic.
