MUSIC SHOPS (Records, CD, Tapes, etc.) IN NEW YORK CITY

 (117 listings) File Created: 15-May-08
This category contains the following:

New York is on the cutting edge of the music scene with dozens of recording studios, music clubs, magazines - and music shops (still called "record shops" by many after the term "phonograph records"). They now sell mainly compact discs, a smaller selection of cassette tapes and an increasing number of videos and the new DVD. Many now sell over the Internet and through the mail.
