Look for the bold red lettering and the bright blue “Buy Sell Trade” fascia at 190 Liscard Road and you have found Psychamok Records & Collectables, a long-serving Wallasey shop where records, films, books and pop culture memorabilia share the same crowded shelves.
Background / History
Psychamok has been trading on Liscard Road since 2004, and in that time it has become one of the familiar landmarks of Liscard’s busy shopping streets. The shop is run by Andy Brown, who has been behind the counter for around twenty years and has seen the area change around him, from the closure of big high street names to a steady rise in independent businesses. For plenty of people who grew up in Wallasey, Psychamok was the place they first went looking for comics, records or a film they could not find anywhere else, and many of them still call in today.
What You’ll Find
The sign above the window sets out the range clearly: CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, figures and books, with vinyl LPs filling the music racks alongside a deep selection of compact discs. Film fans will find shelf after shelf of DVDs and Blu-rays, which makes this a rewarding stop for anyone building a physical film collection. Boxes of American comics and a run of graphic novels sit alongside collectable figures, so a search for an old album can easily end with a back issue or a boxed toy as well. Much of the stock is pre-owned, and because Psychamok buys, sells and trades, the shelves change as collections come through the door. Prices are kept reasonable, which encourages a proper dig rather than a quick glance.
Experience / Atmosphere
This is a compact, traditional shop where every wall and window is put to use, and that density is a large part of the appeal. Browsing here is unhurried, with room to flick through CDs, pull out a Blu-ray or rummage through a comic box at your own pace. Customers consistently mention the friendly welcome and fair dealing, and the shop has the easy, familiar feel of a place that knows its regulars. It sits within a lively stretch of independent traders in Liscard, so it pairs well with a wider wander around the town centre, and it is a short trip across the Mersey from Liverpool.

Summary
Psychamok Records & Collectables offers the kind of mixed, ever-changing stock that rewards regular visits, whether you are after a CD to fill a gap, a film on Blu-ray or a stack of comics.
