| Re: Vinylmania has closed What the...! first time I heard of this news. I bought so many records from Vinyl Mania starting from the early 1980s onward. Charlie had a great store(s) and I'm sad to see it go. I wish the article would tell why they closed down. I guess the rent in the area was getting too expensive?

| Re: Vinylmania has closed It's sad but when I visited 18 months ago I was the only customer & I was in there for ages so I'm not entirely surprised. The staff were so nice & gave me news/gossip about Bobby O.(can't remember what it was though.  ) Apparently the village is becoming incredibly expensive to be in nowadays, even by Manhattan standards.

| Re: Vinylmania has closed This is very sad. I haven't been there in a couple of years. Charlie is a great guy. I couldn't walk in there without spending a lot of money. He would give me free records sometimes. And he would track down records I was looking for. In fact, before I found this website, I went there to have songs identified. I'm sorry I missed the end. I think I'll walk by later this week. |

| Re: Vinylmania has closed wow, sad news, more than half of my record collection is from that store. I stopped in last year and had a great time talking with Charlie and caught up with my old friend Judy that used to do the mail order. lots of wonderful memories for me.

| Re: Vinylmania has closed I wouldn't be surprised at all if it closed because of the rents. No place in NYC is safe from becoming a sterilized millionaire's trendy paradise.
