This review is for the record store portion of this establishment-- I love any record store, and…read moreseeing one plopped down in midtown manhattan in the middle of a busy, business-y district does my heart good. It's not what I expected to find here, and if I worked or lived in this area I'm sure I'd want to pop in often to browse or shop. Having said that... the shop is a bit cramped, which makes comfortable browsing a challenge--understood it is the city and real estate is a challenge, but the layout does make for a less than comfortable experience. Perhaps it is the hybrid portion record shop/portion club that means there isn't a ton of room for the shop portion. As for the browsing, it was a bit frustrating -- I was looking for a holiday gift and was having issues and wound up asking for help - "Do you have anything by Tori Amos?" "i dunno" (not super helpful) "...but you can look under T. Yep... they alphabetize by artist first name. I found Weird Al Yankovic under "A". I don't even know where to start there...I would personally expect to find this under Y...if you want to try to make a case to have it under W and treat "Weird" like a band or entity name I won't agree but I'll listen... but under A? For Al? We're alphabetizing by first name? Come on!! Mock outrage aside, it just felt too hard to find anything, not a fun place to browse and not a lot of assistance available to do so. Decent amount of records though, prices seemed a bit all over the map to me--some reasonable, some a bit outlandish--perhaps more careless than trying to rip people off--but I'd wager you can make some finds here. Might not have been my favorite record shop, but it's a record shop nonetheless--I'm sure I'll be back.

Folks running the shop are friendly and knowledgeable, and there's a great selection, so all good there. But it's not my favorite place.

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?

I made ONE LAST attempt at having a good experience here, and was let down yet again…read more The owner is incredibly off putting. His communication skills (or lack there of) ruin my experiences here every time. This time he scoffed at me saying "I'll pass on this one" to a record with a 8" scuff. Even after I apologized and led with "I am admittedly picky with my vinyl". Customer is always wrong in this establishment. It's unlikely i'll be returning in the future, and if I do it'll be for the selection of CDs only as I find the used selection is rather out of style. Very little GOOD used stuff. The reissues are plentiful, well curated, and priced at MSRP. The CD selection is admittedly incredible, but the pricing reminds me of FYE prices circa 2003; height of CD era prices. If you decide to come here I'd suggest only coming for the great selection of CDs and reissues, despite the prices of the former. I am happy with the CDs I did buy, as well as the reissue, but am very let down by the condition of the used record I brought home. The lighting is plentiful, so I'll take full responsibility for picking out a subpar album. I will never take responsibility for being treated like I am a nuisance by the owner; time and time again despite always spending a good chunk of money every time I visit. I'd much rather spend my hard earned money where it is appreciated.

The seller was very knowledgeable about the book and was super helpful regarding purchasing it and getting it shipped to me quickly.

Limited to One is a small but very curated record store. They specialize in emo, indie, hardcore…read moretype titles, but also have some small selections for other genres (including more general rock.) My partner and I stopped in not long before closing and were worried we wouldn't have much time to actually browse through most of the crates. However, the owner was instantly super inviting and told us all about a whole bunch of new arrivals he had received, pointing out all the specific sections (which included 4 bins of LPs and quite a lot of 7"s.) While neither of us found anything, I'm almost certain this store would be a treasure trove for those looking for more of the emo/hardcore/punk variety of records. But even if that's not your exact cup of tea, I would still recommend stopping in to see what else they've got in stock.

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!
