Archive Records

A real gem of a second hand record store stocking every genre you could imagine. Pop, soul, prog rock, 90s dance music, 50s hits... and everything in between the store is balking under sheer weight of records. Friendly and chatty fellar runs the place and is happy to point you in the right direction, it would be easy to lose days in here. The prices are also very reasonable. Highly recommend a visit.

This shop has to seen to be believed! The first time I went I was overwhelmed by the sheer mass of record piles, then when I looked carefully at how many copies of say every Beatles album he has stocked, I realised I was in one of the best record stores I’ve ever been in.

He pretty much knows where everything is if you ask for certain albums. But at his recommendation its best to download the stock list from the website and then email him a list of what you want, then give him time to find them. I recently bought nearly 20 albums I’d found on the stock list (most of which I haven’t seen anywhere else) and they were all very reasonably priced. All of them play exceptionally well too.

Great guy who was very helpful and kind. There isn't much space so if you're claustrophobic maybe get someone else to go in while you wait outside, but there is also likely to be anything and everything you want

It is a true archive and is like exploring climbing over boxes of records to find what you want is fun. Be prepared to spend time there the owner is very knowledgeable.

Incredible Aladdin’s cave of records, very knowledgeable staff, found some great stuff at good prices.

Amazing place for vinyl records. Great service and knowledgeable staff / owner

The owner Steve is charming, knowledgeable and willing to help. We couldn't be more pleased with the records that we found. Thank you so much!

Unbelievable place, you'll need a week to get through a tiny bit of the stuff in here. Absolutely bonkers shop, I loved it.
