Yep. Its in Greenpoint, BK and 2 blocks from where I live. It's a LOT of work to dig there. the splines aren't even all facing out. But they just buy huge collections and sell them all for $2. No matter what it is. I've gotten some sealed records in there like Let's Get Ready by Mystikal and a bunch of jazz/classic rock type stuff They also have tons of hip hop 12" singles. So much junk too though.

I may have to hit that up one day . I'm sure I'll walk out with 50 bucks worth of stuff. In the summer we used to have a flea market here and the records were ten for a buck I'd bring 5 bucks and go nuts. for ten cents you just grabbed it and hoped for the best there really wasn't enough time to open them up and inspect Everyone would just grab stuff.

Damn y’all are from Brooklyn 😩. Grew up in Carroll Gardens and then lived in Bushwick with my fiancé when I was like 21-22 then we moved out to LA. Miss NYC everyday but it’s a hard place to live. Didn’t even collect records when I lived in Brooklyn, a whole scene I didn’t even discover!

No I'm from Philly but I worked in NY for about 7 years and traveled back and forth every day. I worked in Manhattan but I would sometimes I'd have to stay over and they would put up in hotels all over NY.

Ha I've never had a grouchy experience there - I just usually dig through the New Arrivals in silence. I think I overheard that the owner use to work at Matador or something - is that the guy?

I think there are two owners and one guy is notoriously always in a bad mood and clearly wants to be left alone hah. They have some good stuff though!

All my preorders have shown in stock for awhile now without any updates. I cancelled a bunch but Alfredo and Skull Session say in stock

Double-check that Alfredo; it went from "In stock" to "Estimated shipping in early October" for me.

No shipping on Skull Session, though. I'm still waiting for that person who got it shipped a week ago on Reddit to come back on to show off the record, although with the trainwreck that's happened this week, it's probably gonna be overlooked/forgotten.

I just got a shipping notification for Skull Session and Hail Ceasar in one shipment. Yesterday got a shipping notification for When The Pawn on its own, so yeah the random shipping continues... why bother trying to fix something that will actually save them money.
 
Local record stores are the best. My favorite is Main Street Music in Manayunk outside Philly. It's a 2-hour drive, but so worth it just to talk music with the employees. I drive an hour into Maryland to hit Frederick sometimes. That place has three small record shops in one block, and it's always free beer Saturdays at one if them. As soon as they hear the door open, you hear, "Beers in the cooler!" Everybody's drinking a beer and digging through their bins. It's a little slice of heaven, and if you don't find anything, that's cool, there's two more stores to get through.
