Japanese pressings without international shipping!! I happened upon this 1 month old tiny store and must say I'm extremely impressed. Not a huge alphabetized selection. More like all "new arrivals" to flip through. I seemed to stumble over more desirables than I might have even hunted down. Lots of Blue Note jazz and more obscure labels like Emarcy. They also have a smattering of classic rock and deep Beatles catalog.
Everything I bought was LIKE NEW! Based on the fact they had slightly different grades, they must be used but you couldn't convince me.
And they sound ridiculous!!! I love the sound of Japanese pressings and am not an expert on how many reissues or by whom, but these are the finest pressings, rating almost as high as 45rpm lp's
The prices were extremely reasonable, most being 12-18 each, which frankly is what you would pay to ship from Tokyo.
This is a whole different level of quality for NYC. They are super nice in there also. read more
