Why it is worth visiting

Human Head's Brooklyn selection connects familiar soul, jazz and hip-hop digging with Brazilian, African and Latin records and dance-floor material. That breadth has made it a recurring recommendation among collectors interested in used vinyl beyond standard rock stock. The important practical correction is the address: the shop is now at 289 Meserole Street, while older map information can still send visitors toward a previous location. This is also distinct from the Upper East Side branch that opened in 2026. Choose Brooklyn for an East Williamsburg record day and confirm any specific listing with that shop. Meserole Street is not Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint, a small naming difference that can send a carefully planned route into the wrong neighborhood.

What you will find

New and used vinyl, including jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, house and disco, with Brazilian, African and Latin records among the shop's recurring interests.

Genre strengths: Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, Electronic, International

Buying and selling

Getting there

289 Meserole Street in East Williamsburg. Use Street, not Greenpoint's Meserole Avenue. Some older maps and embeds still point to the previous Brooklyn location.

Local tips

Keep this as an East Williamsburg stop, then plan a separate leg for Greenpoint. The similarly named Meserole Avenue shops are not on the same street.
