Ignite

Rich is an absolute legend. He will do everything in his power to get you whatever Vynil you are after. He is also so knowledgeable when it comes to music, he can recommend records based off your taste and the prices are the cheapest I've seen. I will go to no-one else for my records!

Ignite is exactly what a proper indie record store should be about. Not only does it always have a fantastic selection (including many titles you won't find elsewhere), but Rich always remembers what records you bought before (or finds out what you're into if it's your first time shopping there) and then makes recommendations based on that. I've discovered some great new music as a result. This personal touch makes all the difference, in my view. He's currently between premises at the moment following the sad closure of the Oasis, but he's still doing mail order, and once he's sorted with new premises (hopefully very soon!), I would absolutely recommend popping in, whatever your musical tastes.

i shop here 5 or 6 times a year as i’m not local and my home town doesn’t have a fully fledged record shop. Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and has put me onto some bands that i would have never considered. Prices are keen and i often save a few pounds versus HMV for the same edition. The old shop was rammed but if you couldn’t find what you wanted Richard would immediately find it or confirm he didn’t have it. Visited the Western Arcade store last week for a few RSD bits and hopefully the shop will have a new permanent home soon.

First stop for any records my husband and I need. I love Rich’s attention to detail. As a regular he knows exactly what we are looking for when we visit and always tells us about new stock he has we might be interested in. Top guy! So friendly and have added many to our collection from him. Great range of records from all genres too.

This a great record shop, absolutely filled to the brim and yet if you ask Rich (the owner) for a specific record he knows if he's got it and where it is! I've been shopping here for years. Really good prices for indie exclusives too! Would specifically recommend this place if you're after pop punk/metalcore/emo records in the West Midlands!
