David H. • January 15, 2018The records here are really well curated. Not much indie rock, lots of jazz / electronic / etc.
Gregory G. • February 11, 2016Really well curated selection of the best mainstream and indie comic books and graphic novels. Really friendly staff who are helpful and have great taste. Really good records as well. Tiny, but great.
Todd G. • September 26, 2013Really cool little shop, with a nice range of stuff ranging from cheap guilty pleasures to obscure imports and solid classics. Totally worth the 5 minute walk from the L.
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).
Shah • April 22, 2018This place is fantastic. Super friendly staff, great selection across genres (incl. punk, post punk & hardcore). I even discovered some new music over the speakers while browsing. Will be back!
7th.List • March 6, 2013You just can’t replicate this online...Formidable used-LP trove, touching ’70s jazz, oddball European prog & metal + shelves’ worth of CDs & a magazine & indie-press book display. Feel the groove baby
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.
FYACKDESIGNS • June 28, 2012Best Jazz record store in the world. Hands down. May be small, but makes up for it with best possible in-stock catalog selection.
Albert F. • November 9, 2017Best current music shop in NYC for DJs & avant garde sounds. Exceptional selection of modern experimental club jams, regular arrivals of rare, classic 12s & LPs. Non-DJ titles also acutely selected.
Jaime G. • May 23, 2013Jason is the man! Music matters have the latest releases in which are not found in Manhattan. Ma favourite in Brooklyn. Not near ma neighborhood but worth the trip. Support your local record shop.
Lisa W. • February 20, 2013Impressive hand curated selection in this small store. A good mix of more popular artists and obscure gems.
Chirag P. • October 11, 2022Owned by a record lover that lives in Bed Stuy. Nice selection of books, soap, candles, etc
Bond Street • October 6, 2016"You’ll come up on a dope ’80’s dancehall 12” you’ve never seen before. That’s the type of music discovery you can’t get from an algorithm." - Justine D, DJ, baker
P.L. L. • January 21, 2016superb record shop of the namesake label, tons of used records (soul, hip hop, dance, rock, jazz, world), fair prices, it's worth the trip
Dominic S. • April 3, 2014In terms of sheer variety, without a doubt one of the best record stores in Brooklyn when it comes to Indie and Rock. Even carries some good Metal and Hardcore records. Pricewise okay. Recommended.
