Record store: Zip's Ziggurat

I look at everything and help if I can. If I cannot help, I usually know what the next step should be. If I come to you to look at the records, the only requirement is that the space be well-lit.

FAQ

What specific genres and eras of records are you most interested in?

It sounds glib, I know, but I buy what I think I can sell. Good condition punk and new wave are particularly welcome these days. But, again, I look at everything.

Are there any record types or conditions you generally do not accept?

Genres of music which are difficult to buy include: Shows, most folk, most pop, popular classical. The vast majority of 78s are of now interest to today's collectors. I do not buy records without jackets. Jackets and records need to be in excellent condition. There are exceptions, of course. An important and widely collected record with a less than perfect jacket is occasionally useful.

What are your business hours for appointments?

I am available after 4:30pm on Mondays and Thursdays. Also most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Some weekends, also.

How can someone contact you for more information or to set up an appointment?

My number is 845 418 6947. You may need to wait for a screening message.
