Sterling Records prioritizes breathing room: records are shelved with space to actually flip through them, a relief in Brooklyn's cramped record stores. The inventory leans new across all genres, backed by staff who know the music and a listening station for exploration. Books, merch, and collectibles round out the selection at varying price points.

Expect mostly new stock rather than used bins, and note that CDs are an afterthought—poorly organized and inconsistently shelved. Dogs welcome.
