Sweet Peanut Records<\/a>,\u00a0 an independent record store, is opening this summer at 463 Amsterdam Avenue (between West 82nd and West 83rd streets). It will carry new and used vinyl records, some CDs, cassettes, and audio equipment, owner and Upper West Sider Hunter Brammer wrote to West Side Rag in an email. Brammer previously worked in finance but spent many years collecting and selling vinyl online as a hobby. \u201cI have finally made the jump into doing this full time and hope to build a community and partner with other businesses in the area,\u201d he wrote. Sweet Peanut will buy old record collections and will do house calls for larger collections. \u201cWe pay fair market value, then clean, grade, and price everything before it goes on our shelves.\u201d Sweet Peanut is actively buying collections now in order to stock the store before opening. Anyone looking to sell old records can contact Brammer at Hunter@sweetpeanutrecords.com<\/a>. Once the store is open, he plans to host events for new album releases, along with album focused conversations with guest speakers. Europtica,<\/a> an eyewear boutique which consolidated with its Columbus Avenue location i<\/a>n March, was previously in the space. (Thanks to Meg for the tip.)<\/p>\n
