Brilliant shop for some serious digging, tonnes of stock literally, some of the crates might be a bit tight to browse which sadly always means I don't bother. But I found some great finds here at very competitive prices. A long time shop in the area, and I got one will keep it on my record store map, for when I'm back in town. Nice guy the owner, and they had an Orb promo clock (only the second one I've ever seen) Get down there for all your vinyl and CD needs!
Called in as happened to be in Preston and was just having a browse. So much choice! I had a chat with the chap behind the counter (owner?!?) and was recommended an album by the Ezra Collective. He played track from it and it seemed something I would enjoy. Listened to the full album at home and absolutely love it! Really enjoyable experience and will definitely pop in when I am next in Preston, well worth a visit!
Been shopping here for a while . Excellent for both new and old vinyl and cds. If you want to ask a question do it. Gordon is very informative on releases and stuff . If you are reading the miserable reviews ? Ignore them . This is a quality independent store that covers all genres .
The best independent record shop around, lots of stock of various genres ,I've been a customer since the early 80s and love the shop, Gordon(the owner) is very helpful and knowledgeable ,they can get artists that you cannot get at HMV...
I came here two years in a row for my RSD vinyls and had pretty decent luck so far, very friendly staff and a good selection of vinyls in stock.
