90% sure that I'm off to Manhattan this weekend to take in some city air and buy some grails. What record stores are popping off right now? Somehow I always end up at Academy and A-1 and never buy anything. TSL and Gimme Gimme are obligatory but after that (???).

    Oh... and rapedonkeys... what's up with records for sale straight out of your trunk like last time?

    Yup, usual suspects...

    you might want to check out King George who has heat on the walls, but condition can be an issue and he's gonna want top $$.

    that place is like a dream. well, just to look at the heat on the walls is a dream. like you said, condition can be a little sketchy. but for everything i have always wanted, hes got it on the wall, for the most part.

    The shit on the walls is over priced but in New York you come to expect it. Random cats to who many not know prices to come in there and drop $$.

    I dont know whats left out there. Really depends on any random day cause u never know when a fool will come off and drop off his collection to sell.
    Bleeker Bobs, A-1, Kims, Rock N Soul are good starters.

    don't overlook the Academy locations, I've found some nice things there on occasion and I hear the annex gets some unusual things in.

    and trades in NY are like cigarettes are in prison

    All was good with Academy until Delay's buddies from VA took over. They are very hip to the crate digging shit and now most of the once slept on goodies go on to eBay... even the annex eBays.

    I was gonna go to that to, but when I talked to the guy on the phone he was pushy as hell. I RVSPed for yesterday by email, and he called me twice yesterday to see if I was coming. I was planning on maybe dropping by on Saturday, but now that it seems its lame, I won't.

    The Brooklyn spot is popping. The other spot can be hit or miss.

    Cosign academy. Few deals. But they're there.

    Final Vinyl is good for the odd $150 record on the wall for $40.

    There are some older spots on the Village that I breezed through today and caught some $50+ records for $20-25, you might want to check them too.

    It's hella funny how, since NYC has these boutiques, "beat digga" types don't even check the other stores anymore.
