Colony Music, in Times Square, has some interesting Elvis memorabilia on display. At one time, they had a massive collection of vinyl for sale. You could get lost in that store for hours. Last time I was there, an employee told me the vinyl was now only "available by appointment only."

Bleecker Bob's at 118 West Third Street has a good selection of vintage albums. There are no CDs. Get there in the day. It's not open at night. Also Bleecker Street Records at 29 Bleecker has some good vintage vinyl downstairs. You must go downstairs though as the top floor is CDs. I also think that Generation records on Thompson also has some vinyly on its bottom floor but I can't 100 percent recall. Double check these addresses before you go.

It's getting tougher and tougher to find class places any more.

Both Bleecker Street Records and Generation have bootleg/import DVDs. However as of my last visit on January 5 they had few import CDs although they have had in my visits in the past. Also look up Revolution Records online. It is in the low teens I think and caters primarily to a classic rock crowd but I have found some affordable imports there over the years. Some I think are CDRS but they all come with art work.

Also it doesn't happen often but the Virgin chain in the Village once in awhile stocks an FTD. Memphis Sessions is the most frequent title I see. Also, I have found a lot of stuff like the Japanese cardboard/paper sleeve imports there. Virgin in the Village (which apparently will be eliminated next year) is much better for some reason than Virgin in Times Square.
