    Great selection of records and other items .. picked up a good share of Garage 45's .. a must if your in the area!

    Cute little shop that reminds me of Portland

    The first time I bumped into Rebel Rouser I thought it was going to be one of those cheesy outdoor markets that was selling pashminas, candles and jewelry I would never wear. Boy was I happy as a school girl on the last day of the school year. Instead I made a turn into the market and it was a punk rocker's dream. There was stall after stall of little shops selling records, vintage trinkets, pins and all kinds of goodies. Rebel Rouser is one of the first stalls you see in this row of cool shops. As soon as you walk in, it's a tiny little spot. There are shelves of records and on the right is a board covered in pins and buttons. I returned recently and was following my ears. It was Delta blues blasting at full volume. I maybe into punk rock, goth and other fun tunes but Delta blues melts my heart. There is something about listening to the Delta blues that I can hear the heart and soul in the music. When I walked in I asked the girl working about the record. She told me that the company she worked for had recently released the compilation. They don't take cards here or I would have bought it on the spot. If you own anything on vinyl it has to be old school blues. It's just not the same to listen to on Spotify or cd. That crackling of a record is unbeatable. This is the kind of place I want to splurge at and support. They are keeping the little pleasures alive and it's the kind of business I want to see succeed. Keep up the good work Rebel Rouser, you have awoken me from my music slumber!

    Rebel Rouser expanded last February 2017 and added a ton more record space. Still a small shop that's easy to browse with a fantastic selection of LPs and 45s. Specifically, the punk/powerpop, glam rock, psych/prog, soul/funk, rockabilly & country selection always seems filled with great titles and little filler. Really the go to shop in NY for 45 shopping. It has a large, well-curated, fairly priced 45 selection with the most European, Japanese etc picture sleeve pressings you may see at any shop anywhere in the USA. Always tons of stuff like Junkshop Glam Rock, French Ye-Ye girls, obscure Psych. . Also a lot of Powerpop and Punk 45s at good prices as well as psych, garage, funk and soul 45s as well. Seems pretty specialized in 50s to early 80s rock and soul/funk. They don't have a lot of indie rock, reissues nor 12" dance/disco or hip hop.

    This place is a true gem of New York City. It stands as a unique keystone in the independent record shop world and is stunningly curated.

    Well curated punk, garage, rare 45's and LP's, and just about everything that makes you fuckable if you own it.

Very diverse inventory, including foreign comics, and something for most everyone's taste if you're into this genre. It's a perfect fit for Brooklyn as a small biz and good to see its still around.

There was nothing calm about you in that interaction and you can see by other low responses on here that my experience is consistent with many others. You didn't say one word to me before you told me about pictures (which is why your attached response is especially dangerous in how you portray yourself). You were so set on being angry that you didn't even take a moment to realize you were wrong. I understand the rules, I wasn't breaking them. It's unforunate that you've decided to create mistruths to protect yourself. He is grossly mistepping boundaries as a store owner. A quick scroll will show reviews from almost a decade ago documenting similar patterns of inappropriate behavior. Yet in his response he says he came up to me calmly and quietly lol You know that didn't happen. I would have respected a bit of honesty. I've screenshotted the owners response to my previous review below. Hopefully this provides more context and will protect other customers from similar uncomfortable experiences.

I feel the prices were very reasonable, even though I saw some comments about people saying the books are overpriced. No one bothered us when we spent quite a while looking through the various shelves and it felt like a very calm environment in a busy city. Left with a few books so the trip was a hit.

I brought in three statue items unopened in the original packaging. I checked on ebay for what the items sold for (not asking price but sold price) and it added up to about $600, I lugged the items over there and had to leave them there because they wouldn't get to them right away. The people/kids working there were very nice. I went to have lunch and got the text to return, and they are offering $150. So I picked up the items and turned down the offer. Again, they were very nice, it's just I wasn't willing to accept 25% of the value. I figured at worst it would be 50%. But I am better off getting closer to the actual price on ebay. Now, Buying. Lots of very expensive and exiting things to get, and I didn't have time to price check things so much, but my son is into the Nintendo switch and i spotted a used Marvel VS Capcom game he might like. It was $34.95. But just in case, I pulled up Amazon and looked the game up. A brand new one costs $21.79. So it would have been a terrible idea for me to buy it there. I guess if you are leaving work and need a quick gift, you might stop in and pay too much for an item. If you are in real trouble and don't have time to wait for an Ebay sale, you might consider selling your collectables for 25% the value, this place might come in handy.
