Yo i remember riding past there(not knowing it was closed)to look for parking to do some shopping @ one of my favorite places in the WORLD to be and seeing it closed down....it made my eyes start watering,I had to catch myself!! It truly was an extremely sad day in my life
went there in 92' and bought 'two foam backed embroidered logo slipmats and they looked at me like what do you want two for!? ha ha was funny. would have asked for 3 s I mix 3 decks sometimes but hey, 2's fine. I bought some greats like trax records double album and some originals. love it. And will miss. Thanks.
@hart70 I remember my first time ordering vinyl over the phone from here,and Jay (mail man) shipped to me ALL the records I asked for,,, Al-Naafiysh,,,Boogie Down Bronx,,, See The Light- Feel The Heat,,,, King Of The Beat,,,,and Wikki Wikki Jam On Revenge,,, I interrogated every UPS truck on my street if they had any packages for me, a few days after ordering!! And when they finally delivered the package to my house it felt like years later,, this was about November 1988
@jemiee Yes, the store owner founded the label. The store was small, but they had a back room for storage of all the classics. I would hand the guy a list and he would come out with them all : ) The D.J. at the front would play all the new vinyl that came in and take requests from the customer. Great times!
OMG, I thought this store was still open! Guess it HAS been awhile..

@intromix I just found this video while reminiscing :)
I miss those times taking the train into the village and coming home with a pile of vinyl...

Those were the days -- Pal Joey, Manny and the crew - picking up those imports. Only a true New Yorker understands ... what a great moment in time!
