Academy Records is buying records again



Nice to see Mike Davis, owner of Academy Records, back inside the shop here at 415 E. 12th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. (Thanks to Lola Saénz for the photos!)

While Academy is not open just yet, they are buying records again. You can call (212) 780-9166 to make an appointment...



They've also been selling records via their website and Instagram account...

Great cover by Bowie of The Merseys Sorrow on Pin Ups. Innovative genius that he was he substituted the original horn section with a sax solo and made the song his own.............."with your long blond hair I couldn't sleep last night".........

As a senior copywriter at RCA Records, I wrote the ads for David’s first four records, up tp this one, often working together with him, which was utterly cool. Anyway, the department put together a ten-second TV spot for this one, which had a sparkling animated tear running down Twiggy’s cheek and back up again. It looked so nice and the photo was spectacular.

I had the privilege of working there many years ago.
