Reviews
Been searching for a specific vinyl record for over a year and a half and funnily enough, it turned up at this little record store! Very happy with my purchase and friendly service when I went to collect. Will definitely keep an eye on this shop in future.
Was a fleeting visit due to other commitments but managed to get the RSD vinyl I wanted with a friendly, calm and comfortable experience
Lovely little shop, tucked away in Heritage Court. Great selection of new and used vinyl and they are happy to order records in for customers. Ordered here on Wednesday, received a text saying that it was in store on Friday, and picked it up on Saturday. Great service and friendly staff; always good to support local businesses.
Lovely record shop that offers a selection of vinyl and CD records. Staff are fantastic and most helpful.
Great record shop tucked away from the main high street. Really good selection of new vinyl. Would be great if the second hand selection was a bit more extensive. That said, I’ve bought a couple of interesting records (Todd Rundgren’s Something/Anything? and the soundtrack to 70s movie FM) which were in beautiful condition at a good price. *Update* Thanks for the reply. Absolutely spot on. I was in recently and the selection was great. Bought an early mono Sergeant Pepper. Sounds fantastic and a great price!
