As the name suggests, Aintree Vinyl is located a few furlongs from Aintree Race course in the suburbs of Liverpool but easily reached by public transport although Race days might be a wee bit busy.
It’s a little shabby and a bit grotty if I’m honest, and I’m not a fan of their record racks which only hold a few discs and you have to be careful not to send a load onto the floor. However, it’s dusty old places like this where you just know you’ll stumble across something that’s been on your ‘wants’ list for ever. The going is a bit rough but the odds are you’ll find some good records here and the diehard diggers will definitely want to call in here. It’s all second hand stuff and what’s in store will depend on what they’ve had coming in – I get the impression they turn up some pretty desirable stuff on a regular basis and I certainly didn’t leave empty handed.
