Record Runner, the original shop, used to be on Cornelia Street in the West Village. I do remember scampering off there during lunch hour at Stuyvesant High School when it was on East 15th Street to get the latest issue of Trouser Press and learn of so many new bands and artists. If i recall correctly the shop was below ground, but it did not matter to me. There were so many great shops dottted around both the West and East Village. Those were. both halcyon and hallucinogenic days/daze :)

Nothing like "wasting" a day in record shops. Dig these posts, Brendon.

Another cool record store video. And it's clear from this (and other) videos that you have a soft spot for 80s new wave. It's definitely one of my favorite music genres as well. You should do a video where you highlight some of your favorite new wave artists/bands and albums. Have a good one, Brendon!

Great store some cool stuff great finds Brendan take care joe

I’ve been going to this store since 1990 the owner John very nice guy ,totally recommend to shop in this awesome store. Very nice video 😊

Been to Record Runner several times. Was always great for Japanese imports, rarities and b-sides.

A very quiet store this time! The jazz music that's playing during a lot of your visits adds to the New York vibe, I find.

Been buying records and CD imports from them since 1992/1993. I’m from Louisiana and went to the store in May 1999.

I appreciate you giving us the music stores website. I'll have to check it out.

Didn’t know Satch played on a Khin Band album either. Ya leann something new every day!

Hi Brendon always like to go to record stores..... always nice to actually see and touch what you are buying. Unfortunately these experiences are not as frequent as when we were young. Great selections. Love the Fixx. Had them once on cd... will need to reacquire. Greg Khin.... love them too Thank you for the excursion.

Hi! Have you ever heard of a band called Curved Air? They’re a British band from the 70’s that play prog rock. I just came across them recently and they’re very good. Back Street Luv is a cool song. It was no4 in the UK charts in 1971. You should check them out if you never heard of them. I’m sure you like them.

Hi Brendon!! cool to see you just discover a "new" record store in NYC, another cool reason to visit that area of the city now..... saw a couple of cool cds and vinyl, i would love to add to my collection. cheers and be well

So cool to see these amazing record shops + the trip on the subway and the streets of NY + your great finds!

SWEET FINDS Brenden!🤗💽👍🍭

Hi Brendon & thanks for the great video. The videos where you take us shopping with you are my favorites!

I grew up a few blocks away from there. There used to be my all-time favorite record store around the corner Discorama. Most cd's were $10 back in 1990s and until they closed and my brother worked there for a summer I would go every Tuesday and get all the new releases $10 apiece I was like a kid in the candy store the people even knew me there a few years ago I was walking down Christopher Street when I was visiting my mother and the guy from the record store Simon waved at me from a car window. I was surprise he even remember who I was after all these years. Boy that brought back memories.

Never heard of this place but because of Christopher/Sheridan St., I’m definitely gonna visit this place. Not just for rock but for every genre.

Amazing store, great variety. Many imports. Collectors Heaven.

Wow so cool Brandon thank you I really en joy this.

That Bryan Adams concert is stunning! What a performance! One of my favourite live albums. The Def Leppard vinyl…wow!

Yes I love that Roxette cd. I believe I had that on tape. I wish I lived in the city. I miss stores like that.

It looks like a good shop to find "treasures". You certainly found some good ones. Saw a few I liked, Roxette and INXS. I ❤ Marie Fredrikson's vocals.

I love that “Out Of This World” album. I had it on vinyl back in the day and would lift the needle and skip ahead to the guitar solos, which were just scorching. I think I had Norum’s “Total Control” on cassette. I’ve heard but never owned his 2nd with Glenn Hughes on vocals. I’m a huge Glenn Hughes fan. His work on the first two Phenomena albums (1985, 1987) and Hughes/Thrall (1982, with Pat Thrall) are favorites of mine.

great video Brendon i love the Record store Visits

Great video!

Hi Brandon. You surely came by and scooped up a few gems this time round. 👍🏻 I noticed you prioritize cd's over vinyl and often add that if you come across the cd you will get it too. Do you keep both formats or pass on the vinyl when you get hold of the cd version or do you keep both in the collection? Really enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming. Cheers from Brazil!!

I'm a Greg Kihn Band fan too. I had no idea that Satriani played with them at one time. I love the Fixx, they're big favourites of mine. A band with a very unique, distinctive sound,

Me encanta ver videos de tiendas de discos!

Talking of Bryan Adams, you picked up a Prism album. Jim Vallance was involved and wrote songs for them. The band is from Canada and was the Brainchild of Bruce Fairburn. They had a big hit in Canada called Spaceship Superstar from their first album. It was chosen as the wake-up song for the Discovery Space Project in 2011.

5:21 No More Tears on Picture Disc, holy shit I would have grabbed that at the speed of a lightning bolt. That album was my introduction to Ozzy at age 12.

More fun stuff.

So Greg Kihn and Joe Satriani are Bay Area rock musicians so it makes perfect sense. I know Joe is from Long Island but he has lived in Berkeley for over 30 years as he loves it there. It’s where I’m from. And hey I have a daughter who lives in Long Island. Go figure. I have seen them both. Greg in a night club and The Bay Area in the late 80’s in fact. I’ll be in. New York in May. I’ve been to that west village subway station. I missed that record store though. If you know of any excellent record stores in NYC plz let me know. Anything more mid or uptown would be good. Not sure I’ll get back to the village on my next trip. But maybe. Thx. ☮️

great stuff 😊✌️

Hooray! I'm actually going to a record store for the first time in what seems like ages! The wife and I are taking a road trip to Tampa, so I'll be hitting up the Sound Exchange and Mojo Books and Records (at least)! BTW cool video. Love watching the trips to the record stores.

Glad vinyls are doing well allways been a collector I'm from the 🇬🇧

Interesting to see that Wild vinyl.

Some great finds , I was hoping you were going to grab that Prism album lol

I remember paying quite a lot for that Bryan Adams Live cd when it came out. It’s excellent. Good purchase.

Nice vlog. 👍🏻 I like second hand shopping, but I also noticed that a lot of these record shops ask way too much for their items. I often find the exact same item new and factory sealed for less elsewhere. Titles from artists like Bryan Adams, Roxy Music, Deep Purple, INXS, etc.

These are my favorite videos. Always love going to the record store, flea markets or thrift shops and searching for some genuine gems. Sometimes you'll find something quite interesting at these places, including records from regionally successful artists. But funny, I thought you would've owned "Shuttered Room" by now. I bet that vinyl record cost like $50. That one is super rare, and it's expensive. Lucky thing I have the originals, NOT remakes, of the four singles on the Fixx's "Ultimate Collection" compilation disc. Too bad you didn't buy Prism's "Small Change" record that you flashed up for us to see. That one has the band's only U.S. Top 40 hit "Don't Let Him Know," written by Bryan Adams, also a #1 Album Rock radio hit. The Greg Kihn album you bought did not chart, unfortunately, but the title track was a very minor hit on the lower reaches of both the U.S. Hot 100 Pop Singles chart and the Album Rock Tracks chart. Absolutely cool you dig Greg Kihn's music, both solo and with GKB. You should check out fellow Bay Area power pop band Earth Quake (whose only success, though very minor if any, came in the mid-late 70's.) They were also a fixture on Greg Kihn's original label Beserkley Records (now defunct.) Earth Quake's albums are super rare and hard to come by, however, I luckily found one of their very rare albums for a buck at a used record store in my neck of the woods last year. But the music is excellent.

I wonder how you deal with disc rot when having so many disc's. Do you or have you digitally backed up your collection as you get disc's? since disc rot is inevitable with all disc's and some get that faster than others. I know humidity and heat is a big factor and can speed up the rot. I'm just curious in your case and your experience with that since you're a huge collector. I enjoy music and you definitely do obviously. I only have hundreds of disc's and have noticed this problem with a few of mine that I've owned less than 20 years, that's why I'm asking. I just subscribed to your channel btw. Thanks for sharing all these great artists with us! 😊👍

Great find that Greg Kihn Lp!Had no idea Satch had played with him. Have you ever heard the band Squares? The band features Satriani, and a cd (of old material) was released a few years back. Kind of pop/ new wave. Cheers.

Love you record store vids. As a suggestion, might want to expand to include a quick talk with owner about his/her business and why/how began.

greg kihn band was a great live!

Lots of cool stuff here Brendon. Can I ask how much obscure 'Aor'' you find on CD in these smaller shops?! I noticed a few rock/Aor artists like Prism in today's selection shown, and I'm wondering if you see much on CD? A lot of the older Aor ''obscurities'' are like gold dust on CD and I'd probably try and jump through the screen and grab some of the crazy rare Aor titles you might be seeing - but not often showing. Just as an example, while I actually have my own copy, PRISM - See Forever Eyes on cd, and this goes for around $80 on eBay and other places - it only had the one pressing and is an example of the rarer end of Aor obscurities out there....it would be really cool if you show more of this type of rock on cd - IF you are ever coming across them on these sort of visits?

The Bryan Adams Live cd you're showing was recorded during a festival in Belgium...and I was there :-) If I remember right, that year Sting was the headliner. Cheers.

Sorry Brendon, I got to stop you there. All The Young Dudes was originally written by David Bowie, and given to Mott The Hoople because he didn't want to sing it himself. And it became Mott The Hooples biggest hit. Just a piece of music trivia there for you. By the way Ian Hunters new solo album is out now.

Well I looked for the poison cd yesterday at Walmart it was gone so I bought a Steve Miller for a gift and I ordered a Bryan Adams they improved things a little but to have cds sell I mean you have to have the eagles Abbey road darkside of the moon etc and they are located in no man's land

At records stores I'm on the heavy metal hunt. Groomeys in lima ohio. Awsome for the hidden gems

Great update!!! Could you please tell me about some cool CD stores that specialises in 80's, 90's hard rock/glam scenes in the NYC area. My brother is visiting NY next month and I would like to provide him a list of albums to grab 😁...Thanx!!!!

Small correction - All the Young Dudes was written by David Bowie

I think id be to scared to ride the subway lol

I wish I was able to go through all the records without the annoying owner asking me over and over if I needed any help or what I was looking for? I was willing to buy a bunch of stuff but his attitude wasn’t the best. By the way that Mink DeVille album was one of them.

I want to get the Munsters album!!!

I have shattered room I think they reissued it and that's the one I have on Cd. I think that's a greeag Kihn solo album as was Citizen Kihn the album before. I also think Greg Kihn needs to reissue a lot of his albums the ones I found on CD for a lot of is early albums are very expensive.

🇧🇷

Bowie wrote "All the Young Dudes."

wish you had shown the Depeche Mode records..

Maybe you could one day take us by video to the Physical Graffiti album cover building. There's one youtube video I've seen on it but it is a ahort and not quite hi res.

you should of gotten that KISS revenge album, that is a german press

✨⭐✨💞💖💞💖💞💖💞💖💞✨⭐✨

Buy all the Kiss Records!!!

I've never been to New York City. And I'm never going there either.
