I love shopping at Academy! Great selection, mostly of used records of all genres. The price range is wide and fair. They always play great music while you shop and keep everything welcoming and organized. One of NYC’s essential record stores.

Amazing store with big amount of good records. I visited this store for multiple times already, and always got something new for my collection. Staff very friendly and always ready to help with any questions.

Knowing Academy records in east village since turn of century, I like how they kept the accessible price point here in Greenpoint as well. That said, I still question the pricing basis the condition of discs (well, I come from Japan where there’s much higher bar for condition), but some good findings in $1 bins.

So happy to see this place get a new location. Great vibe and great selection. Less than five minutes from the old spot it feels like an upgrade. Super clean and well laid out. Always some crazy gems and errbody is awesome.

Just found this place at the last minute of my holiday and wished I found it earlier before spending up. 😄 Super friendly staff and very helpful. Amazing selection of disco soul house etc. Priced very well. I could have spent the entire week in there. I'll be back one day. …

Brilliant gem and shining example of what a good record store should be! Loved it and could happily have spent another hour or so browsing through their extensive collection. Bought 4 albums but would have loved to buy more. Saving my money for a return visit in January all the way from the UK.

I went here recently to get a Christmas gift. They were helpful, kind, and had an amazing selection (and exactly what I was looking for!). Would definately reccomend :)

New location on Banker street inches them closer to Williamsburg. Feels very similar to the old spot in Greenpoint proper. Still a preeminent vinyl destination without being too expansive or overwhelming. Especially strong jazz offering with many rare finds across multiple genres.

Lied and said that they take anything and everything. Well they do not. The guy told me to come and bring my records after reciting the names and years of them then the guy wasn't even there when I arrived an hour or so later. Very disappointing. Very inconsiderate. Extremely inconvenient. Extremely aggravating.
