“New and second-hand records, good vibes and stuff”. More info coming soon!
Wax and Beans
We have had two Bury record shops on this site, Save Records and the long lost Vibes and it was truly said to see those two Bury institutions go. The good news is that Bury now boasts an independent record shop again in the shape of Wax and Beans, situated in a stunning Grade II […]
All Night Flight
All Night Flight Records is located just off the main market place in Stockport which is now home to some new bars, eateries and some really interesting little shops emerging as Stockport tries to reinvent itself from a poorly planned 1970s town centre struggling to compete with what I’ll politely call “changing […]
SK1 Records
This is an excellent little shop combined with a Cafe and is well worth your attention. Take a 10 min train ride from relatively booming Manchester to Stockport you’ll see evidence all around of how big towns and cities around the country are struggling to cope with the huge change in retail shopping habits shifting […]
Tasty Records
Like most smaller towns, Altrincham has seen record shops come and go. Older readers will recall it had a Virgin Records in the town centre, a branch of Omega Records, Double Four and several others. More recently, Beatnik, Honey Bee and Soda have come and gone all too quickly – all victims not of the […]
Aintree Vinyl Records
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 […]
81 Renshaw
Renshaw Street in Liverpool houses a number of quirky, independent shops and at Number 81 you’ll find a place that houses not only a Record Shop but a cafe, Bar and music venue. There’s a regular bill of live events here too. I’ve been in few places like this and sometimes the record side of […]
High Street Books and Records
Don’t let the shop sign fool you…this fine little bookshop also has an absolute gem of a Record Shop in it’s basement. Down the white stone steps you’ll find a wall full of music related books, and beyond that a well stock room full of Vinyl and CD. Most of the stock is second hand […]
Music for the Soul
If you’ve exhausted your regular haunts it’s time to look further afield. Urmston (birthplace Herman’s Hermits Peter Noone no less) is easily reached from Manchester by train and just down the road from the station you’ll find two shops in one. ‘Music for the Soul’ also incorporates ‘Dave’s Rare CDs’. Vinyl may be the hip […]
Double 4 (Glossop)
A long standing omission from the site – there is another Double 4 Records in Glossop in the Arcade there. (I presume there is some connection with the Double 4 in Stockport and now closed Marple Branch – and even longer closed one in Altrincham). Here are the details. One of us has already visited […]
