Cheers Karen Had a few topics like this before, always good to get as much into as possible, maybe i will put it all together sometime for a visitors guide to New York... Gonna be my first real visit, had a stop over once before for 10 hours... Looking to buy tunes/ clothing and maybe play a little bar/ club if any free little slots... Thanks for info Brav... got all that and will make some contacts.. Any more info would be great.... got a night playing moldie oldies/ Rock Steady and RnB.... Just the ticket...
Guest Matt Male Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Any more info would be great.... got a night playing moldie oldies/ Rock Steady and RnB.... Just the ticket... Lots of vinyl shops in Greenwich Village, A1 records, Finyl Vinyl, Bleaker Bob's etc... Unfortunately most now trade on the internet and keep odd opening hours. Some nice restaurants nearby too so you can sit and watch the front doors for any signs of life. Here's an interesting link https://www.columbia....NYC.music_guide Edited July 6, 2010 by Matt Male
Tony A Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Just been rumaging in my boxes, knew I had these somewhere, From memory Barry Soltz was very helpfull and gave me some other local contacts
Guest Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hi Stevie try this place in Brooklyn its wall to wall records in the basement & they charge 3 singles for a dollar but you have got to be prepared to get your clothes dirty so take some old clothes with you. The Thing 1001 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222-1313, United States(718) 349-8234
Kris Holmes Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 ok, don't waste your time on those other stores, seriously The Thing is horrible & you'll probably catch more respiratory diseases than actual good records there. Good luck with Bleeker Bob's too. Actually Infinity & Rhythm are ok, but a bit tricky to find/out of the way if you're touristy on Manhattan, the ones below are all relatively easy to hit in Manhattan & will yield good stuff. I really recommend both Good & Academy, good stuff can be found quickly at both these stores & you can get back on track with sightseeing asap. essentially the only record stores you need to get to are: Good Records Get Directions (212) 539-0208 * approximate times Subway: Get Directions (212) 477-8150 Store Hours: Mon.-Fri.: 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday: 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday: 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Closest Subway Stops: 6: Astor Place or Bleecker N/R: 8th Street F/V: Broadway/Lafayette A-1 (212) 473-2870 439 E 6TH St New York, NY 10009 Also try to do this TOUR THE APOLLO Apollo historic tours connect the past, the present and to the future of our legendary venue, revealing the significant contributions of African-Americans and Latinos to the birth of global popular culture. The tours are educational, informative, entertaining and inspiring, as tour director Billy Mitchell discloses little known facts about the theater and the legendary people who performed here. The tours tell the dramatic story of a proud people, an aspiring community and the rapid growth of a small idea, with something meaningful for everyone. KEY TOUR INFORMATION CONTACT: Billy Mitchell, Tour Director Phone: (212) 531-5337 Email: billy.mitchell @ apollotheater.org AVAILABILITY: Tours are offered to groups consisting of 20 people or more however individuals or smaller groups can join a tour if a tour is scheduled on the date you would like to have your tour. Tours are also offered to elementary schools only at the reduced rate of $10 per student. Please call to make all tour appointments. DURATION: Each tour is one hour in length TOUR TIMES: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 11am, 1pm, & 3pm Wednesday 11am only; Saturday & Sunday, 11am, 1pm GENERAL ADMISSION* Weekdays $16/person Weekends: $18/person NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS*: Weekdays $14/person Weekends $16/person **Enjoy two classic Apollo experiences in the same day by touring on Wednesday at 11am and return at 7:30pm for Amateur Night at the Apollo�. When you visit, don't forget to stop by our Apollo Store to purchase a memento of your visit to THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATER. Seriously spend your time in NYC doing cooler stuff than non-stop record shopping. It's a great city.
