The somewhat pricey used vinyl spans the ba-

the new stuff on plastic. But when you get a
hankering for, say, Scandinavian black metal

Bleecker Bob's is located ion the heart of New York City's Greenwich Village. We opened our doors in 1967 under the name Village Oldies, soon to change our name to Bleecker Bob's. Now almost forty years later we are considered a NYC landmark. We are one of the oldest independent record stores in New York.There's little about Bleecker Bob's that doesn't scream "NYC punk." But the warped wood floors, handmade cardboard/masking tape dividers ("Cheap Metal!"), and black-and-white Sid Vicious posters. Hipster West Village types troll for import Strokes CDs and Gang of Four LPs, and rare-vinyl hunters scour the wall behind the register for fancy finds. Bob's is a comfortable place for general browsing, too. Feel free to test-drive the albums--just not the cheapo ones: "If you're too cheap to risk 33 cents on an LP," the sign above their turntable says, "there's really no hope for you." From big band to "obscure label Eno releases," We stock nearly anything the active music fan might be searching for, on vinyl and CD (a fairly even spread of both). It's a college-radio fan and DJ's paradise, with a nice little cache of cool old posters (the Clash, the Doors), stickers and patches. Local bands rely on Bob's as a flyer paradise: Scour the poster-plastered wall for gigs or bands in need of members. Please stop by our store when you are in New York City.
