This cozy record store boasts an impressive collection of vinyl, though much of the inventory is kept behind the counter rather than out for browsing. The shop offers well-maintained used records at reasonable prices, with a mix of genres and formats available for music enthusiasts. The establishment has become a regular stop for local collectors, though customers should note they’ll need to interact with staff to explore the full range of available stock.

Amazing atmosphere, an owner who respects what he does and the products he sells. Absolutely amazing stock and most of my collection comes from this store. Lucky to have this store
Friendly owner, plenty of knowledge and good quality of vinyl on offer at decent prices. My only gripe is that the vast majority of stock isn't available to browse through instore. I'm sure there's a good reason for that but a different layout allowing more browsing would be much better from a customer point of view and maybe even encourage a few more impulse purchases.
Fair selection, but you need to ask for what you are looking for, more vinyl behind the counter, would have been nice to have a rummage but don't blame him for keeping the good stuff away from sticky fingers.
Visited for first time recently and wasn't disappointed. 11 lp's and 4 cd's (all of which are in excellent condition) for £65 represents great value for the item's I purchased. Also, the owner was very cheerful, friendly and talkative. A definite thumbs up from me.
Poor. Offered 20 pounds for collection worth at least 5 times that. Gave cock and bull reason as "records need too much work to clean" pointing to one example in a collection of over 100 items. Based on my experience best avoid if selling.
