Zig Zag Records was in business for over 35 years before it closed in December 2010. We always loved it’s vast selection of #vinylrecords and the owner Stan was always so welcoming. We asked him in 2009 when we visited him to show him our “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” book why many of the posters in his window had been the same for years, he laughed and told us that the record companies no longer sent him free posters. (the posters in the window when we took this 35mm film photo in 2004 were exactly the same in 2009).
We also loved the gorgeous #handpainted signage this #recordstore had with the jaunty “Zig Zig” and the #vinylrecord used as the “O” in RECORDS.
Many people ask us which store that we have photographed is our favorite and certainly Zig Zag Records is one of them and that is why we even have a 4 foot print of Zig Zag hanging over our couch in our studio.
