Amazing store! Really great selections for classic rock, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and world. A large 5…read morefor $20 section with great items in it. Most records are in the $10-$20 range. If they cost more, it's because they are genuine rarities. There's a listening station so you can try before you buy. I listened to a bunch of records and all of them were in *excellent* condition, even the very old ones. The owner is very friendly, and there's always great stuff being played. One very minor note: The frequent buyer program gives you stamps for each visit where you spend at least $25, instead of stamps for every $25 spent. So I could come by one week and spend $100 and get one stamp, but someone who lives nearby and makes two visits that same week and spends only $25 per visit gets twice the stamps for spending half the money. Not a big deal, most record stores don't have frequent buying programs at all. Maybe I'm missing the logic behind this one?

A well-organized record store is a must, and A1 Records does it well. This tiny, ridiculously…read morestocked shop is a must-visit for all audiophiles who come to New York City. 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.

They allow you to openly and freely roam the store and they're always playing great records over the speakers.

The shop itself has that classic record store vibe, the smell of old vinyl, yes, even a little moldy at times, which I personally love :) and rows of crates you can get lost in for hours. What really makes the place stand out is the team. D, who has helped me several times including today, deserves a big shout-out. He's patient, super knowledgeable, and always has a great attitude. Today he went above and beyond being extra patient with my order, and I really appreciate that kind of service. Shops like this thrive because of people like him. The stock here is fantastic, excellent condition, fair prices, and always something new to discover. I live in the Bronx and they are absolutely worth the trip out to Brooklyn. When I can't make it in person, I also order from their Discogs page and the shipping is always smooth. If you love vinyl, this is the kind of shop that makes collecting special. Great records, service, and always a great reason to come back.

I've purchased several records from Grouch including a signed Bush Tetras 12" and a copy of Dew + Fumio Nunoya's 1971 live recording. Great condition and fair prices. I would recommend this shop to crusty old vinyl fiends and fresh young wax spinners alike.

Well, it was kind of like the Motown of Reggae Music... the biggest reggae record label in Jamaica responsible for some of the genre's most formative records. Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd was a legendary producer for Studio One, and he started this reggae vinyl store in Brooklyn to sell all his records. In fact, until he passed away several years back, he ran the counter at the store every day. You can read more about him here: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/06/arts/coxsone-dodd-72-pioneer-of-the-jamaican-pop-music-scene.html I believe his daughter takes care of business at the store now.
