New York City Record Stores (Part Two)


By Megan Zanke

Every music-loving boyfriend I've ever had has fought me on the music issue. For me it was, enjoying Horses absentmindedly, for them, it was knowing that the weight of their copy would stand against mine come nuclear war. Likewise, the last post on New York record stores spoke to New Yorkers (like myself) who rip iTunes libraries and spend their hard-earned dollars on albums with ambivalent whimsy. That is, we just need the basics when it comes to record stores (and sometimes, we don't need them at all). But alas, the ex-boyfriends and other true audiophiles deserve a little bit of attention too. As an olive branch, here are five NYC record stores that promote the agendas of vinyl-obsessed "does that copy of Sticky Fingers have an actual zipper on it" New Yorkers. As always, feel free to diplomatically note your favorite omission(s).
