Vinyl Fantasy

Vinyl Fantasy combines records with comics, books and art at its Knickerbocker Avenue shop. Metal and heavier music are visible in the record selection, while cassettes provide another route into small-label releases. The shop also handles used vinyl and sells selected records through its Record Harvest Discogs operation, so the physical and online sides are not identical. Its buying instructions are unusually useful for sellers: condition applies to both the record and its sleeve, with a stated preference for Very Good Plus or better material. For a buyer, the appeal is the combination of recorded music and printed work rather than a record shop with a few incidental gifts. Keep time for both if those interests overlap in your collection.

New and used vinyl, cassettes, comics, books and art. Metal and punk are useful musical starting points, with selected used records also sold through Record Harvest online.

Vinyl Fantasy buys suitable vinyl collections, generally seeking Very Good Plus or better records and sleeves. Email a list and details through the official collection-selling instructions before bringing a larger batch.

194 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick. Use the Knickerbocker storefront address for the shop rather than the name of its separate online used-record operation.

Treat the comics and books as part of the visit if they interest you. For a specific used pressing, check whether the Record Harvest listing is available at the storefront.
