WQXR radio - Record Store Day 2014
As Record Store Day Returns, Where Can Classical Buyers Shop? For used product, Academy Records satisfies the urge to “get carried away by the experience of flipping through CDs." - WQXR radio station
The Village Voice Says in 2011...
To be honest with you, we can't say that Academy Records & CDs is the best "used" CD store in the city because we don't know how many used CDs Academy really has- and it doesn't know, either. In addition to untold thousands of them, there are countless CDs still in shrink wrap -records, too, both old and new. And DVDs. It's a great place to go for a good (say, Fellini versus Antonioni) argument. But mostly, it's CDs of all genres, all categories, and all time periods.

"The store isn't concerned with trend, and their stock won't change to coincide with the latest Top 40 List - instead, any day of the week, Academy affirms both the longevity of the analog age and its timeless masters that have shaped music, literature and movies of today."
Matador says...
"Some people do still buy CDs and DVDs, and Academy Records & CDs caters to them. Its one of the few businesses Ive seen get near universal positive reviews on Yelp. Full Matador Review
Goldmine Magazine says...
"Academy Records & CDs is a New York City institution. Owned by Joseph GaNun, the store has one of the finest secondhand collections of classical music youll find anywhere. But its the people who run the place who are the real treasures."
