Your typical “crouch down, dig out, get dirty”, promo posters covered walls record store. Very small, cellar-looking room, cardboard boxes underneath the shelves (and sometimes on top of them). Mainly vinyls and cds, lots of music magazines. Classic rock, punk, reggae, large import section. Stock varies from day to day. Typical “Ali Baba cave”. Used and new. Reasonable prices.

Emma, I'd like to know how you made heart marks. In your computer at home
has special type faces ? I cannot find it in mine?
When I stroll in Greenwich Village, I never get in these stores. It could be for Rock lovers store. It is interesting to see the storefront pictures, which you probably took, is still 70's and 80's looking.
When I looked at your photo of Restaurant signage on the Rooftop in your trip, I found the small images of American flag and small bird. Did you know when you took that photo??
You are really a good photographer, Emma.
Great job, it looks like the Zagat for Record Stores.
Just one thing: is it relevant the cleanliness for this kind of stores? Is it necessary to rate it? It's just a thought!
I want to go to each of the stores you described! Clear and simple...This is what I like about reviews. Thanks!
P.S.- The pics are also cool!
This is a very interesting review. Only can be written by a maniac. I am wondering what was the standard for price rating. Price for CDs, DVDs, vinlys is pretty much fixed, isn't it? Maybe it's because they care used as well? Do they decide the price at their discretion? (Sorry, I've never been to those vintage record stores.)
Emma. you have a very good writing style and also funny. Pictures are great. my only remark is that it seems a little bit too much for experts in the field so my suggestion is you should try to think that you are writing also to people (like me!!) who don't know so much about rock music!! besides that congratulations for your english!
