Face Records brings a Japanese record-shop connection to Borinquen Place. The Brooklyn branch opened in 2018, extending a business that began in Japan in 1994, and its identity centers on Japanese records and pressings. City pop is an obvious starting point, but jazz, soul, funk and other records connected to Japanese collecting are part of the reason to look through the stock. The physical shop is still listed by the parent company even when the local website is restricted or outdated. Use the current official social profile for visiting information. This is a focused Williamsburg destination, particularly when edition, country of pressing and condition matter, and it complements the broader vinyl browse at nearby Earwax.
What you will find
Used and collectible LPs and singles, especially Japanese records and pressings, including city pop and related jazz, soul, funk and dance material.
176 Borinquen Place, Space 1L, Williamsburg. Use the current official profile for visiting arrangements; older local website pages retain pandemic-era information.
Local tips
Bring pressing details when searching for a Japanese edition. Pair the visit with Earwax on Bedford, allowing each shop a different role in the same neighborhood route.
