Hi Simon,

I suggest that you check out:

Jazz Record Center
236 West 26th Street, Room 804
New York, NY 10001

(212) 675-4480

http://Jazzrecordcenter.com

jazzrecordcenter@worldnet.att.net

Open: 10am to 6 pm Monday thru Friday

They have an excellent of anything jazz related, including vinyl, CDs, DVDs, books and calenders.

I asked Fred Kaplan about this. There are lots of stores that sell vinyl LPs in their original pressings. Here are a few Fred recommends (the stores on Bleecker and West 3rd are just a few blocks from one another, and he also recommends the aforementioned Jazz Record Center):

Academy Records
77 E 10th St

Bleecker St Records
239 Bleecker St

Bleecker Bob's
116 W. 3rd St

Rebel Rebel
319 Bleecker St

Jazzfan,

It was great to see you appear again in these forums.

Last we heard I believe you were being "Transported" to the Netherlands. An update would be great, and as always, inquiring minds would love to hear what artists are currently moving you?

The best...

RG

Thx guys,

Jazz record centre was one that kept coming uop on google, and I have a sneaking suspicion I went there about 10 years ago, so will definately search that out

My wife lived in the vilage about 10 years ago,and she remembers lots of places around Bleeker street - looks like they are still there - great stuff

Cheers - and remember to PM me if anyone wants the same kind of info for the UK

Hi Simon,

FYI:

I've found that the (used) record stores in the Village, i.e. Bleeker Street area, tend to price their vinyl anywhere from somewhat expensive to just plain outrageous with very few, if any, bargains. On the other hand, both The Jazz Record Center (JCR) and Academy Records, do offer the occasional bargain along with their more expensive (but still quite reasonable) fare. In addition, the JRC has most of it's selection very carefully organized so finding what you're looking is pretty easy.
