Reviews
A great vinyl store with a nice collection. Even with some rare/limited edition records in the category. This store also has a very nice, humble and helpful owner (Gary) to help you out with all the questions you may have. He's really knowledgeable as well. ~ a happy customer
Gary was my favourite vinyl dealer when I was living in London and I always pay him a visit when I'm in the UK (we live in France now) !
I've been buying records from this place for about 3 years, mainly from the 70's and 80's. The selection is very good, and importantly the quality of the vinyls is consistently excellent, considering their age. Gary, the owner, truly knows his trade and makes a conscious effort to source only good material. Definitely recommended.
I bought a lovely 1970s ‘All Things Must Pass’ George Harrison box set (with poster!) at Gary’s shop on Portobello Road. All of the records play beautifully and are excellent quality. Gary is very knowledgeable - Highly recommended !
Happy to find some vinyl in limited edition with the best price ! Thank you !
