Vinyl Resting Place

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Manchester

If you’re on a Northern Quarter Vinyl pilgrimage you’ll doubtless pass the iconic Afflecks Palace, epicentre of Manchester alternative culture for decades. This was the former Affleck & Brown department store re-purposed in the early 80s as an indoor marketplace of vintage clothes, head shops, vintage memorabilia, posters, skateboards and places to get yourself tattooed, […]

X-Records

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Bolton, New CDs, New Vinyl

A bit futher afield, but well worth a visit is X-Records of Bolton, Lancashire. You can get to Bolton by train in about 15-20 minutes so you could easily do a quick detour during your Manchester record-shopping frenzy. The USP of this shop is its massive stock of back catalogue. There is a database on […]

Static Records

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, New Vinyl, Wigan

Given it’s musical heritage it’s only right and proper that Wigan has its own proper record shop Recordshopcity reader John was the first to bring this place to our attention – “Went there for the first time today, a return visit guaranteed. Collectables, cheaps, mid-budget, all genres, mostly vinyl. Owner Paul very helpful and knowledgeable, […]

Rockbottom Records

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Oldham

It’s a wet Tuesday in March so of course I’m digging around an old antiques and junk warehouse in North Manchester. Failsworth Mill is typical of the old industrial heritage that shrouds North Manchester in its dark, solid embrace. Yet un-typically this mill contains a little gem of a Vinyl store called Rockbottom records. The […]

Endless Music

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Prestwich

** Please note this review was for the original shop on Bury Old Road – Endless are now at a new location which we’re advised is bigger and brighter! *** I’m South Manchester born and bred so the northern reaches of our fair city can be something of a foreign field to me. Needless to […]

Sifters

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Manchester

Far from the bustling City Centre, hop on a train from Piccadilly Station and head for Burnage the birthplace of Oasis. Just around the corner from the Station you will find the legendary shop once the regular haunt of the brothers Gallagher of this parish and famously immortalised in the lyrics to ‘Shakermaker’ “Mister Sifter […]

Double 4 (Stockport)

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Cheshire, Stockport

*updated review!* Stockport is, like many town centres, now too big for itself and – it’s a classic victim of online shopping and serious competition from Manchester just 10 mins away by Rail and out-of-town retail. If you head down Lower Hillgate you’ll pass a quirky and attractive street that looks perfect for an Indie […]

Empire Exchange

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Manchester

This place is an absolute gem and well worth an afternoon of any music junkies time. This isn’t purely a record shop, but essentially a huge basement full of books, comics, magazines and stacks of vinyl and CDs, as well as 78s and possibly even some wax cylinders underneath all that, who knows. It can […]

Clampdown

Tags: 2nd Hand CDs, 2nd Hand Vinyl, Manchester

This place is a bit of a hidden gem although actually not far from the Northern Quarter Vinyl epicentre. It’s just off the main drag leading to Piccadilly Station so easy to call in your way into, or out of the city. Clampdown is a real collectors treat. On this site since around 1996 I […]
