Sweat’s FOURTH ANNIVERSARY AND RECORD STORE DAY 2009!!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4 years since we opened up our little shop on 23rd St. in early 2005, and we’re so happy to still be here with all of you in our home on 55th St. and NE 2nd Ave. We’ve been through a lot but it’s been worth it 100%.

Not only that, but Record Store Day has gotten HUGE. It’s become a global phenomenon, with over 1,000 participating stores worldwide, loads of exclusive releases, artist support from Paul McCartney on down, and the Mayor of New York City even made an official proclamation about it! You can check out some local press on Sweat and RSD here:
