Nyc Records Shorts
Description: From its walls festooned with posters, photographs, and rare LPs, to the sound system blasting anything from deep soul to death metal, a visit to Bleecker Bob's was a genuine rock 'n' roll experience even if you were "just looking." Musicians from the Patti Smith Group and New York Dolls are among those who have manned the cash register at Bleecker Bob's, which was finally pushed out by the outrageous Greenwich Village rent. Bob Plotnik passed away on November 29, 2018, leaving behind the kind of legacy few record store owners could even dream of.
Description: Celebrate the roots of hip-hop with this bold tribute to Profile Records, the legendary NYC label that helped shape the sound of a generation.

Whether you're a vinyl collector, old-school rap fan, or just vibing with vintage streetwear, this tee brings the rhythm and the history. Rock it loud. Rock it proud.
Description: A long time establishment in NYC's Bushwick neighborhood, Northern Lights Records is as renowned for their extensive selection of used vinyl. Buying and selling records 7 days a week from their somewhat hard to find Lawton St. location, Northern Lights was a true 'it spot' for collectors of rare albums and deep cuts since the early '90s.
Description: Founded in 1980, quintessential New York City label, 99 Records (pronounced “nine-nine,” not “ninety-nine”), was among the most influential independent labels of its time, with an influence still reverberates today. The label’s sound was every bit as distinct and as it was diverse, touching on post-punk, disco, dub reggae and even avant-classical, highlighted by exhilarating experiments in minimalist art-funk, and polyrhythmic grooves. Despite being a shoestring operation run out of a record store, 99 sold an unbelievable number of records with minimal distribution, and was at one point the most successful indie label in New York City.
