Superior Elevation's identity is closely tied to Tom Noble and the world of disco, soul and dance records. The shop opened in 2015 and is now on Grand Street, where its physical inventory sits alongside a selected online operation. For a DJ or a listener following those musical connections, that background gives the browse a clearer purpose than a generic list of formats. It is a separate proposition from Face Records' Japanese focus and Earwax's combination of vinyl and vintage audio, even though the three can belong to one Williamsburg itinerary. Leave time to look beyond a single known title. Used records arrive as particular copies, and a collection-led shop is most useful when there is room for an unplanned find.
What you will find
New and used vinyl, with disco, soul, funk and dance music useful starting points. Selected online records do not establish the entire in-store inventory.
Genre strengths: Soul, Funk, Electronic
Getting there
616 Grand Street in Williamsburg. Use the current Grand Street address rather than older accounts of the shop's previous location.
Local tips
Combine this with Face Records and Earwax for three distinct vinyl selections in the wider Williamsburg area. Let the genre focus determine the time spent at each.
