Record Market

Record Market has traded from the same Broomlands Street unit for more than four decades, run today by owner Brendan, who buys and sells vinyl and CDs across the counter and online. The shop deals in new pressings alongside second-hand stock and will actively source specific records for customers rather than working only from whatever happens to be in that week. It keeps a short trading week, open Wednesday to Saturday from 11am to 4pm and closed the rest of the time, which keeps the operation down to Brendan and whoever else is behind the counter rather than a rota of staff. Regulars single out the shop's tightly packed, genre-spanning vinyl stock and Brendan's habit of talking through a customer's want list rather than leaving them to a browser bin alone.
