Name your fav local independent record shops!

HOPE THIS IS IN THE RIGHT AREA. We have a new record shop opening in Wakefield called WAH WAH RECORDS, so far there is only a facebook page, so please do a search in facebook and follow them or recommend them to friends. I have no links to this business but am just being selfish and would like a new vinyl haunt in Wakefield :eyebrows:

not opened yet but have a look on facebook for WahWah records in Wakefield.

There's a man with his finger on the pulse.

... and there is a famous "The Kinks" pub down the road with a Kinks memorabilia/party room - The Clissold Arms - where they first performed. The Indian opposite (Rasoi) is brilliant.

I popped into Les Aldrich today for a quick skim. (My wife had sent me to Muswell Hill to buy food (to continue the theme)).

Overall, the stock is much thinner than it was a few years ago and the bargain clearances seem to have gone :(, and few DVDAs for those who like that sort of thing. I did some sampling and the classical CDs seem all to represent respectable versions of the works but not a very wide selection of different artists/conductors/orchestras - modern shop economics, I suppose. Some bargains - the complete works of Mozart on CD for £95, for example.

The vinyl selection is small but high quality - some jazz but mainly audiophile pressings of current artists, all around the £20 mark. The latest Gregory Porter on Blue Note was in there - a steal at £24 for the double album.

I've started a thread in critics corner with an example of a list of record outlets to gauge interest here:

Indeed. :) JG Windows of Newcastle is by far my favourite record shop. They also keep a good range of music instruments and sheet music.

Opened 15th March mentioned here in this article from the Echo about the vinyl revival. Worth a read:

Always nice to see a new place opening where you can buy records. We have a new place opening up in Wakefield on 1st April.

Nice one, Martin... And just in case anyone doesn't know where Soho's clothing store is in Liverpool (where Dig Vinyl lives), it's on 80 Bold Street. Tel: 0151 707 0880 :)

Marco.

Just thought I'd give these guys a well deserved plug. They opened today. I did my bit and spent a few quid with them, hopefully you will too..;) I'm not linked to them in any way shape or form but would just like to see a record shop in my city. Thanks, andy.
