yup, it's on carmine right off bleecker -- closest trainstop would be west
4th street station (a, c, f trains). right around the corner is bleecker
street records, which is generally over-priced, but some goodies to be found
-- first one there can get a sealed/unplayed copy of the count v's *psychotic
reaction* that's on the wall for $50... generation records is another great
store in the area, they lean more towards punk, but they do have a good
amount of '60s rock, soul, ska/reggae and garage-rock. very fair prices all
around. they're on thomson street, between west 4th and bleecker.
