Rock BottomRecords

Rock Bottom Records is a second-hand record, CD and DVD shop on Harbour Street in Whitstable. A shop trading under the same name was recorded at 13 Harbour Street as far back as October 1979, according to a contemporary report in the Faversham News, and the business has since moved a short way along the same street to its current unit at 37-38 Harbour Street. The stock is entirely second-hand, spanning vinyl, cassettes, CDs and DVDs across genres, with turnover dependent on what customers bring in to sell or trade. It remains a single-site, independently run shop rather than part of any wider retail group, and has outlasted several other music retailers that have opened in Whitstable over the same period. Opening hours are typically in the daytime, though visitors are advised to check ahead as they can vary by season.
