Hey guys,
I live in New York City. These 3 record stores:
3 Beat Records
Above the Sky
Hard to Find Records
Are all from the United Kingdom. They have records that I am looking for. Are they reputable shops? I don't want to get scammed.
Thanks! |

| i think 3beat is kind of expensive, but you can download mp3's which is pretty cool. As far as I know it's legit. I'm not sure about the others. |

| For what I've heard, HTFR have quite a bad rep... make a search about it on the DJ forum and you'll notice why. As for 3beat, I hate them, I ordered 4 records once and they sent them as they get them but they'll cover added shipping for that, and one of the records took them 4 months to send, when it got in here I already had it. Oh, and lousy assistance too, took them forever to reply my e-mails and sometimes never did. I wonder how they got prizes for assistance, well, maybe I just had bad luck... but I'll never buy from them again :mad: you can always visit the DJ forum and check the sticky DJ thread for dodgy online record stores... |

dont shop Hard To Find Records unless you :
a) dont mind waiting about a month for you purchase
2) like fingerprints, scuffs and scratches on your vinyl
d) don't mind an extra charge on your credit or bank card that shouldnt be there
5) are into cheeky bootlegs and mashups that those wags made themselves
above the sky is delish and like someone mentioned earlier, 3 beat is pricey but quality. |

3 beat are prettyupfront but dont update their database, so you never know whether a record is in stock or not..so like someone has said you either end up waiting for records or you get them within a week, just depends how quick you are.
juno and chemical records are better only show whats in stock
also plastic fantastic and tuneinn...both tell you whats in stock and get different tunes from chemical and juno. |

Hey guys,
Thanks for your awesome feed back. I tried to use the dodgy record shop section but it was too difficult to search. I wish there was search text capability in TA for just music and record stores.
Thanks! |

Htfr... erm if you are really desperate for something yes go for it.Expect it to be a dodgy repress or bootleg
3beat- rude scousers who get the records sent fast if they can be assed |

| i've never had any proplems with HTFR expet their price ,i find them expensive , Dancegrooves is a good place to shop although their inventory is quite small i think , chemical records is also a prime store. |
