THANKFULLY, Majors worked magic and fixed the problem scratches. The game plays perfectly now. AMAZING!! Thanks again!!

Many many years ago I did business with this record store. Back then when you thought of Trinidad…read moreand Tobago music and New York, Charlie's was the first and sometimes only place that came to mind. They were a force to be reckoned with. I've passed this shop so many times as it's just one shop separating them from Ali's Trinidad Roti Shop (which I'm always at as I love) and don't know how I missed it! Only today when my memory door flew open did I actually realize where I was! 2015, it stands a mere resemblance of its former glory, but somehow amongst the weakness, there's a sense of pride. Almost like your granny on her rocking chair relating stories of her illustrious youth. You'll still find small DJ and entertainer's gadgets such as bolts, screws and many other items I have no clue what they're used for except it's to do with music systems and mics. If you're an Island and Trini music lover, you'll have a ball gazing at albums while listening to sweet Calypso and Parang music (if you ask). A bit of history: Calypso music is an Afro-Caribbean music with origins in West Africa. It's a rhythmic, grassroots (so to speak) music which documents the then and now, socio and political atmosphere of Trinidad and Tobago either with serious undertones or picong (to tease or joke). Calypso or Kaiso procreated with funk and soul and gave birth to Soca music. Parang music is a popular Trinidad and Tobago music which originated from nearby Venezuela. There are shows and competitions but the real deal is when serenaders go to the homes of family and friends paranging at night during the Chistmas season. It is sung in Spanish or patois and is the mother of Soca parang which is a combination of both genres. Hearing a good parang singer live can be a truly emotional experience. Well it is for me and many others. Get a copy of Parang music at Charlie's, ask for Daisy Voisin, maybe you'll get lucky and have this experience. My stop at Charlie's like I said, was like a visit with grandparents. I was emotional, excited and I'll visit again and again but I don't want to live with them. Is that just me? It was good to see you Charlie. 5 stars for the memories you brought me AND I can still find current and "ole time" music here. The End.

There's a well-curated variety of secondhand records that's worth your time. Since I'm one of those weird music lovers who loves to browse vinyl shops while traveling, I made a point to stop off in this East Village record store. The employees were cordial, if not friendly (it's NYC after all, at least they weren't surly)! The shop is tiny and can get really crowded, so watch those elbows as you flip through the stacks. Vintage 45 collectors will be in heaven too, so get ready to spend some serious time and dive in! Prices are on par with other vinyl shops, so don't expect many bargains. Jazz lovers will especially love the selection, I came home with 4 hard-to-find (in my area) used albums in near-mint condition! Every time I spin them, I'm reminded of my trip to New York. Now that's a cool souvenir!

They have two sets of record players you can use to preview records before you purchase. The store is decorated with classic original records around the walls and ceiling. Price points ranged from $15- 150 dollars, depending on the artist and album choice. Staff is very laid back. They allow you to openly and freely roam the store and they're always playing great records over the speakers.

I'm an…read moreavid blind buyer (sometimes regrettably so, but that's the way I roll), and I've dug through a lot of bins across the country, but I've never been somewhere that seems to reward pure curiosity as much as Ergot. What really sets Ergot apart is that the inexpensive records aren't just filler. There are interesting, unusual records throughout the store for $5-10 alongside rarer and more expensive releases. Even if you're unsure about something, there's a convenient listening station that lets you investigate your selections before committing. That makes it a place where you can actually discover music and take chances on something unfamiliar instead of only buying $40 physical copies of albums you already know--which, in my opinion, is the whole fun of digging. My genuine appreciation goes out to the owner for helping keep this hobby interesting. With a selection like theirs, I'm sure it would be easy to capitalize on it, but that doesn't seem to be what this place is about. That's why I'm writing this review: to tell people to go support this business. It's not easy to keep the lights on in this city, and if we as music enthusiasts want places like this to exist, we have to show our support. Ergot is absolutely worth supporting!

He tracked me down using my credit card and sent me an actual letter on paper. All of the records I have bought there are clean and in good condition. Even in the discount bins, Ive never gotten 1 that was unplayable. Most of the discount bin stuff is in as good condition as what some other stores (12St) call their regular stock. Ive asked him for some pretty obscure records and goes right to it. Some record store managers I have asked about a truly iconic artist such Cliff Richard and the Shadows or Sonora Matancera and they look at me like I have 2 heads (like Annie Ross- Im sure he knows her too!) I never write on line reviews (or read them since I think the good ones are from the sister and the bad ones are the competition) but certain things need to be said.
