I am interested in hearing ANYTHING about this place that existed at 77-11 37th Ave.

I used to go there OFTEN when I was younger. We are talking well over two decades ago. I remember it was a bit cramped - the prices were always much higher than the Wiz and Coconuts where I usually bought my cassette tapes from. But it was a great play to pick up vinyl and you often had a lot of local aspiring DJ's coming by there to pick up the latest tunes.

I used to shop there as a teen, primarily at the smaller store that was located at the corner of 78th Street. Apart from records, they also sold silk screen t-shirts of rock musicians, and posters.

What were some records or tapes you had purchased there?

Pop was one of my favorite genres back in the day, so I was probably purchasing Elton John favorites.

Wow, I always forget this board exists, I used to post here a lot.
Anyway, NUMBERS was the record (yes record) store, and eventually CDs and Tapes.
It wasn't always on at 77-11 though. Orighinally it was on the corner where the Apple Bank is now, until maybe the late 80s, early 90s. I know by 1991 it was in the 77-11 spot, across from PS 69.
I spent many a $2 and change on 45s there in the mid 1980s.
