Ryan A. • March 8, 2015Small venue with big talent. Table seating with service, feel free to get fancy.
Oluwaseun K. • February 15, 2023Amazing customer service and I got everything I came looking for in the store. The best record store unarguably
Lele B. • September 18, 2016The best record store I've been to in New York. Fantastic selections of secondhand records in very good condition. I bought a whole lot of disco 12" for extremely fair prices (most for just $3).
Rose G. • June 18, 2023Amazing vintage finds that change every week. The shop owner is incredibly nice and designs amazing neighborhood prints
Shah • May 13, 2018This has become my favorite record store in NYC. Can’t beat the punk rock selection or the service. Love this place.
Jory C. • May 2, 2012Great selection and very reasonable prices won't try to sell you a scratched copy of a super-common record for $20 like Academy!
Janelle O. • February 8, 2015Amazing books, manga, DVD and all a huge selection. Fiction English book section is small but can still find some stuff. They do have manga and anime in English/Sub.
Ryan S. • August 26, 2013Great used record store in the East Village. Large collection spanning many genres and styles. I went for the promising selection of old house and techno cuts. Will be back!
Bill W. • June 10, 2013Just opened in May of 2013. Everything the vinyl enthusiast could want in a record store. Punk, Metal, Classic Rock, Reggae, Jazz, rare collectibles and a big cheapie bin!
Giacson • October 26, 2019Incredible jazz selection of vinyls mostly but also cds,books and videos. Very well hidden on the 8th floor of the building. Take your time to go through everything
Diego R. • April 5, 2011This Academy Records Store focuses on jazz and classical music, although it also has other genres as well. Large quanities of both vinyl and CDs.
Borja O. • October 15, 2011Steve is great! He spent almost 2 hours walking us through all the different options. We'll be back to buy our stereo
Aristippos • May 22, 2019The Art of the Vinyl - mostly rare things in jazz and R&B but also a few things from Varese, Stockhausen, Berg, Boulez and Cowell
Nathan C. • December 1, 2012Amazing record store! His Kylie & Madonna collections are AMAZING! Never thought I'd find a store like this! Will surely miss it when I am back in Atlanta!
Christopher P. • February 19, 2014Definitely a risk-taker's record store. I have no doubt there is plenty of good stuff here, but you''ll need time to try out the records and hear for yourself if what they have is your style.
Joe C. • September 2, 2014The shop may be tiny, but it's jam packed with great vinyl (old and new) at decent prices.
Gary J. N. • December 4, 2011One of the last places to find obscure vinyl. Get it while you can--and when you find it open.
