Academy Records reopened yesterday here at 415 E. 12th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. (Owner Mike Davis had been buying and selling via Instagram throughout the summer.)
They sectioned off the shop into a smaller version of itself (you can see in the video clip below)... while "putting the best stuff out," including some new releases, reissues and best sellers.
Also, masks are mandatory... and there's hand sanitizer at the door... as well as some disposable gloves. For now, the shop will just let three people in at a time.
... and a look inside the shop...
Today is also the makeup date for Record Store Day.
You can check out what Stranded Records, 218 E. Fifth St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square, and Limited to One Records, 221 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue, might be offering. (Ditto for Manhattan45, which recently opened at 220 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.)
A-1 Record Shop, 439 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue, has been offering curbside pickup this month.
Sadly, Turntable Lab's storefront on 10th Street won't be taking part. However, they have online exclusives.

Surprised you didn't mention the recent distribution/release of the Tribeca-premiered "Other Music" documentary that's now streaming worldwide: (I'm just a fan, not affiliated): https://amzn.to/3gJUuNk
I did a post about the Other Music doc on Tuesday — the day of its VOD release.
@Grieve Ah cool; meant that constructively, in mind of the blog practice that typically cross-links to relevant stories on relevant days.
