Was hoping to report back from Union Records in Lewes today but there was a sign on the door saying "back at 4:30" and my train was at... 4:25. Ah well. Next time.

I should be listening to music
Popped in there today for a browse. Mr D has a sensible pricing policy so came away with 4 albums. Would recommend a visit if you are in Southport. There’s also a nice tearoom 2 doors away.There is a new one in Southport, opened today. Some here may know the owner...

If Mr D is reading this, I’m the bloke who laughed at the comment you left on a Magna Carta album.

Indeed I am reading this and I am afraid I completely stand by my rather dismissive comments on aforementioned album
Thanks for the nice comments, best, PD

I caught the bus to Penge in South London this afternoon and had a look in Revolution Records. It's a nice shop with a mix of used and new vinyl in the racks. They seem pretty well stocked for reggae/dancehall/dub/soca etc. I spotted a 1958 reissue of Marty Paich Quartet Featuring Art Pepper on Tampa in the jazz racks but not in a nice enough grade to merit splashing out. Will definitely have another look next time I'm passing.
It looks like it's run as a franchise and they have a few locations.

Hmmm, are they still going? I went there this afternoon on the off chance and they appeared to be closed, even though Google reckons they should have been open. The website link doesn't appear to be active as such either.This one has opened up in my local town, Wellingborough. Although run by a punk (hence the name) they have a surprisingly good selection.

Forgot to mention at the time.. I visited Kingston last month and strolled down to have a look in at Shak's Stack of Wax only to discover a guy ripping out the record racks. Looking on Facebook it seems they closed in March which is a shame as it was a really nice shop.

I think they're still open - I will check next time in in town.

Finally managed a visit to sunny Southport last weekend.
Sadly, Vinylfinders wasn’t quite my bag, but Quicksilver was as good as ever.
Probably back up when take daughter back to Manchester Met September time.

I keep meaning to check that one out. I could walk over on a good day. Next time you head in that direction go up the hill to the Crystal Palace proper. Round the back of the triangle, just further down from the Everyman Cinema, you'll find Mark's record shop. Not sure what it's called! Nice bloke, nice stock. Definitely worth the effort.

Thanks for the tip John. I sometimes have a nose around the record stall in the indoor antiques place but rarely find anything interesting (I'm mostly looking for jazz) - I've somehow completely missed Mark's shop Sound Vinyl. Instagram account looks interesting so I'll look in next time I'm there.

It's vastly better than the stall in Hayne's Lane Market, which I have always found to be stuffed with tatty stock and 'unauthorised' editions. Mark does have quite an interesting jazz selection.

There's another second hand record shop in Southport called Legacy Records. It's close to Vinylfinders....

Hi there and welcome to Legacy Records. Formerly known as GS Records, I have taken over my fathers legacy as a record shop in Southport for hobbyists and like a phoenix from the ashes will strive to make this the premier music shop Southport has to offer.

The general set up and shelves for browsing leave a lot to be desired but still may be worth a visit if you're in the town.

There's a place down the road from here that's the most chaotic record shop I've ever seen. It's in a block that's due to be demolished. Downstairs is a second hand book shop. Upstairs is records. The owner told me he took out the lease because it was opposite a Spoons and until that closed he used to spend most of the day sitting outside the pub drinking waiting for a customer to wander in to the shop. Most of the staircase is taken up with large stacks of VHS cassettes which makes it a bit tricky to reach the records. None of the records are priced. Browsing any of the racks requires first moving a couple of hundred records piled on top. There are box of records below the racks but they too have piles of records on top. It looks like there was once some semblance of organisation by genre but every section is now effectively 'Misc'. I trawled it a couple of times but got bored of the inevitable haggle over records that were OK but not exactly life changing. It all felt a bit too much like hard work.

Of course there is, when it was in Hurst St, it nearly made me bankrupt.
Is the Grounhogs one to go with "Thank Christ for the Bomb", I think my copy is not quite scratch free

My local and a very good shop. Prices are sensible and stock is good. Ton of CDs upstairs too at very good prices.If anyone is passing through Tunbridge Wells they could do worse than pop into the Record Exchange - just down the road from the posh classic car showroom.

I'm sure I visited this one a couple of times in the past, maybe back when his Dad was still alive.
It was all a bit chaotic and I lost interest pretty quick.

Was in here the other day. Can recommend. They had a nice selection ranging from first press of velvet underground loaded to £2 cheapos.Had a quick look in at the newly opened Upside Down Records in Deptford this afternoon. Lovely shop and they seem to be doing some nice classic hi-fi too - a Systemdek and a pair of Tannoys for example. Nothing caught my eye this time but I'll be popping back.
Photo from their website - there are more records in the racks now : )
