Favo*u*rite Records Shops OUTSIDE of London

[blossomchris]

I'm a huge fan of Alans (though I haven't graduated to the level of customer that gets offered a mug of tea....)

But it's INSIDE London

I just had to post, not visited him in a while and withdrawal symptons kicking in.

Amoeba Music, Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles. Lemmy used to shop there too.

I like Rise in Worcester, my local city. Rise is a smallish shop but they manage to squeeze in a lot of vinyl and I'm often surprised at their eclectic selection. A decent range of CDs and a few books as well. The staff are friendly and approachable and the shop is family-friendly - it's in a shopping centre so I can quickly "pop in" during family shopping trips, plus it's clean and tidy unlike some record shops... It's a little brother to their store in Bristol which often has live bands. There's also one in Cheltenham although I've never visited that one.

Rise is 5 mins walk from Worcester Foregate Street station, which is 45 minutes from Birmingham.

Cobb Records in North Wales?

Not as big as it used to be but still larger selection than most..

Rise is mostly new stuff - although I picked up a couple of Japanese issues of jazz recently that are excellent.

There is another record store in Worcester, 2nd hand dealers - Market Hall Records, upstairs in the Gallery, off the Shambles. Excellent cheese shop on the same complex.

'Expanded? They must be doing well either that or they are very brave in these grim times...

Grim times ... says who !

Vinyl purchases are the highest they've been for years ... FTSE at record high and the UK about to leave that dreaded institution the EU !

Like a dog of a lead - like a prisoner let out of jail !!!

The UK is only moving one way and that is up.

FTSE at record high

This morning The Guardian online announced FTSE as being at a record low... something to do with North Korea and a hurricane...

Hello from another Worcester resident! Nick @ Market Hall is a nice guy. Have you ever been to Carnival in Malvern? Good second hand and new store for both vinyl & CD.

Chippenham in Wiltshire is blessed with two good record stores within a few hundred yards of each other. An opportunity for an hour or so of pleasant browsing if you are in the area. I have had some good buys from both over the last few years. Details below;

Piccadilly Records in Manchester gets most of my cash. It's too tempting working in the city centre.
Today: Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band "Dreaming in the Non-Dream" new and sounding good on vinyl.

Friend of mine keeps telling me about it, but I rarely get to Malvern!

Grey 'n Pink Records in Chester on Brook Street: http://greynpinkrecords.com/

"We stock everything from 1950s rock n’ roll to indie and rap, but no easy listening, classical or dance."

Had a 'diggers dream moment in there this weekend where someone had sold a ton of 90's electronic stuff - heaven!

Friend of mine keeps telling me about it, but I rarely get to Malvern!

I spent some time in Carnival during a holiday in the Malverns a couple of years ago. Excellent shop.
