OMGG I helped paint that mural in 1992!!!!!!
The first one at the 6th street center.
Damn this makes me want to move to New York so bad! If I had money or a hook up, I would move there in a heartbeat. The price of living is just insane. It seems like you have to be rich to be poor in NYC. Some day...
Pretty sure they got some boogie gems in there, hearing that bb and q band playing in the background
I have a question Funk. Do you listen to The Coup? (just thought maybe you would because you do love funk and The Coup = The Roots (Some live instruments I mena) + Public Enemy + Funk)
Kill My Landlord and Genocide & Juice are seriously funky.
Wish I knew a place like this. The only one I know of in Canada is the one place in Vancouver... but I'm not in BC, I'm in Ontario, I guess there must be one in Toronto but none that I've heard of.
I brought records from there
I grew up in Pickering, moved to Grimsby last year... but I'm in school in Thunder Bay
I'm going to New York for the first time in October and I wanna pick up some vinyl from there, do you guys recommend this store?
I know, I paid last months rent today, next month due in a week :p
chip in if u can, don't if you can't. It's just helping him help us.
My $5 isn't worth much on it's own, but a with few other it means he can bring us more funky goodies :)
@devolvedcouk
dont mean to be a prick of anyhting but we all feeling the pinch,im out of work,why should we send money for him to pay for trips to ny and buy records,no offence,love what he's doing and all, but everyones got problems
Did you even watch his original video talking about the donations? He came right out and said that this was what the money was for... So he could support his family by making more videos for us, the fans.
Hey buddy! I'm from Ontario too and a fan of the functual. Where you from ? I'm near Windsor/Detroit : )
if I needed another reason to make a trip back to NYC...a good old fashioned crate dig is what the doctor ordered...
Record stores rarely have rap, but that one was a gold mine. Great place.
Its too Funky in here!....will add A1 to the list of places I need to visit when I next get over to the US.
Funk, I love your vids. I though thought you were using that cash to get out of work, not buy rekkids.
Not hatin', just sayin'.
Dibs on the Wilson Pickett!
Man, that little Isaac Hayes sketch creeped me out
you want us to send you money,u look like your doing good if you can buy all them records
one more place i need to go to next time im in the city a lot of great stuff you found
hey man great video i'll finish my top 10 samples list and send it to your face book real soon
was just there yesterday. kind of sucks the sections (at least the hip hop side) is not even close to as neat these days as to whats in the video. barely anything in plastic outer sleeves. way overpriced in relation to the condition of some of the reocrds.
What song is that when you walked in ? IMAGINATION
BB & Q Band - Imagination
FLACOSCHEVY THANKS
Sweet. Did they cut you a break on the records??
Body heat picture sleeve ..... WOW !!
bobbito ... listen fail, logic fail, grammar fail.
Thanks for sharing, enjoy these videos. Cheers, Greig, Scotland.
Was that "Heat you up - cool you down" instrumental in the background? I went to A1 in 1997. The shop was then run by an English guy (from Wolverhampton I think) I purchased:- Voices Of East Harlem "Right on be free" and Blue Note Demo 7" of Ronnie Laws "Always there" They had two decks to play try the vinyl out on and they were both terrible sound quality. I first heard "Agua de beber" by Frank Sinatra in A1 - still love that version to this day! I stayed at 92 McDougall & Bleeker.
We trust you to use your judgement dude :)
Went there today. Shit was awesome
I have liked what I have heard and wanted to get the albums but never did. If given the choice b/w old and new I always pick old. Has it's drawbacks at times. I'll peep them out again though, their reputation is quite good.
I used to go to St. Marks Sounds
notice the good records are almost 8 dollars $ a piece! lol what a rip off!!!! you want great 45s go to double decker records in Allentown pa. Nothing beats the 50 cents room!
+Lisa Marsh Well this is NYC. I made a video of Double Decker too btw
Right on. I recently was able to get all their singles from Kill My Landlord so I have all the funkafied remixes and the extra dope Instrumentals (as well as the one for Fat Cats, Bigga Fish)
heat you up melt you down background. one of my favs.
I believe you are talking about Take Yo praise by Camille Yarbrough and Taxman by Junior Parker
HUMANS LOVE OUR MUZIC
Keep doing ya thing Funk.
Damn I wish Hawaii had more places like this. We've got like 3 decent places on the isle.. but the selection is pretty horrible. Damn I would love a copy of some Teddy P, Zapp, Edwin Starr, this list could go on aaaalll day. Hah!
Will definitely stop by the shop if I ever make my way to NYC. And that is a must.
Who is singing "Imagination" in the background Funk?
I'm 9 years behind, but nevertheless always happy to help out. It's B.B. & Q. Band from their 1982 album "All Night Long" :)
Great video
Funk de la Funk.
Man, It's so exciting whenever I see that you've made a new vid. This one was a bit different....but that's great ! It's inspiring me to make my own videos one day,about the places that are important to my life as well. Appreciated!
I'm a slow ass, and haven't sent my $5 yet. BUT BROTHER I PROMISE I WILL,I GOT THE ENVELOPES OUT AND EVERYTHING! If it makes you feel any better...I still haven't sent my grandma her Christmas card! I'll send you an Xmas card 2 !
I was staying in Manhattan for a while recently while doing a student exchange from London and a friend who has a huge music knowledge took me to A-1 Records. If I could have, I would have taken so many records back home with me from there. When I move to New York, it'll become a regular spot for me!
Also, love the videos Funktual, thank you for making them. Keep up the good work!
Great record store!
It's nice to see it in the daylight cause i was there in the evening time.
There's still music made entirely live and with no samples...check on youtube: superpaolo: mr groove..no samples there, just musicians and its so so funky
Much love. this has got to be one of the greatest resources for listening to samples and understanding loops outside of having access to all of that yourself. Thanks bro.
This shop looks dead serious, Playing BB&Q Band and then following it with Shirley Lites. I go into lots of shops that don't have one good record in stock let alone two playing on the sound system in succession.
awesine
Word
rip teddy p
Yo funktual, loving the work and dedication to the funk. I thought i knew a bit about music before i came accross your videos, i clearly dont.
In your videos you played two tracks which i couldn't hear who they were buy. One was a sample used by Fatboy Slim in 'praise you' and the other was a track called taxman by again i dont know who. Im quite def
Thanks
A1 records is on my to do list when I'm going to NYC and that hopefully will be around november, can't wait! You got any other record stores in NY you can recommend funktuall? love your videos btw
Great video! They charge a grip 💸for 45’s 💎⛏👀
Highly recommend A1 Records! Nice section and decent prices!
lol i walked by this store everyday for the past two years (schools near by) and ive only gone in twice due to my recent fond love of vinyl. i love this place
$8 is a great price for good used lps. Welcome to 2016. I live in the south at the moment and vinyl can get pricey.
great Documentation my Brotha. never been to NYC. not clamoring to visit either, but if i do...
What's that first tune I hear when entering the record store... Something with ''Imagination" ?
hey I'm sure I know the song that's playing until 3min or so and I can't remember what it is.. anyone ?
MAN all those classic stuff :D!!!!! Nice man! I love this vid!
What would you say is your favorite shop in the city?
Love the education, love and soul you bring to the game.
hey do they sell any records by The Prodigy?
@tangobob11
BB & Q Band - Imagination
one of your best vids i love it
very cool!
i love going there. good stuff!
Dope man!!
