So many records - so little time! Generation Records was a great experience - from the customers engaging in conversation with each other to the employees taking requests while shopping.

An amazing vinyl record store located in downtown SOHO, NYC. To visit absolutely, shame about the very high prices (both new and used) compared to what can be found in Italy.

Yes. They have a small corner in the back filled with metal CDs as well as vinyl records. In terms of quality artists, you're better off going through the vinyls.

Hi! Do you ship cds to a hotel?

Belén R | Sep 20, 2019
Anthony Camerino | Sep 20, 2019

If you are here on a visit (business or vacation) the best thing is to have them ship it to your home address. Some cds could take up to three or four months if its an import from europe including England Germany etc. Local wise according to availability it could take 7 to 10 days to get it from a warehouse alone.
