This store is definitely worth a stop, especially if you’re not after the records you can find at most any other shop. They have a really great selection of less common records, including many Japanese pressings. The prices are good and the records on display are in great condition!

★★★★★ — Ceramsam, 2022-12

This is a really great shop with a ton of records. I was able to find the one I was looking for, plus other great ones. The owner is friendly and helpful as I spent a lot of time browsing the records. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the market for records from many different eras.

★★★★★ — Tom, 2022-12

Best record store in NYC (according to my tastes 🙃). Fantastic selection of Japanese/Korean/Chinese music at an honest prices. The owner is super friendly, helpful, and made me discover so many great records every time I go. Every time I come back home with a new fantastic gem.
