After a long hiatus, the shop is back up and running in our new location!

The location is 218 East 5th Street, betwee 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue - right off The Bowery. In roughly three weeks I had to completely disassemble the old store, pack everything into boxes and reassemble it at the new location. I still have many boxes of new stock to go through, but we are finally open for business! Below is a photo journal of the moving process.

Wife and Friend help box up the records… at a point I thought I was actually going to move these myself. LOL

Ended up hiring some goons. I’m about my neck and my back like Khia

Out in the New Back Yard, I’m thinking “BBQ Season is on!” Meanwhile, back out front…

The Move Continues. And back at the old location, things have gotten ugly:

… but little did we know, they were about to get worse. Much worse.

… until it’s all gone.

Now let me take a moment to say June 8th was totally unrealistic… I’m still putting stock out! Thanks to the folks who came by that weekend though, and bought some records… but getting back to the move itself, the new store looked a hot mess once we got in there.

But from chaos, comes order!

And with some tunes

And some carpenters’ fuel

Things came together. Now, it’s starting to look like a record store!

… well, sort of.

As you can see, there’s a lot of work yet to be done. But we are open for business, clocking math, and there are new records hitting the racks daily. Come check us out! As for me, I gotta get back to work.
