Shop Appointments

We've had a lot of questions about when we might be reopening, and the answer is still - I don't know. Today inessential shops are allowed to open again, but with records people tend to handle more than they're likely to buy, so we'd be either quarantining every record after every customer has been in (we'd be an empty shop within a few hours), or disinfect everything after every customer, which isn't particularly an easy or quick solution. So what we're doing for the next little while is implementing an appointment system. If you'd like to come and browse, get...

Love Record Stores

Our contribution to the Love Record Stores blog is up now, have a read (and read all of the blogs from a load of great shops whilst you're there) 💘 Link > https://www.loverecordstores.com/blog/south The music community have launched a high-profile, global initiative on Thursday 26th March 2020, to help independent record stores during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

So if you are able, please do consider...

Long-form analogue electronic journeys across decades and continents, and swathes of post-industrial northern Britain.The journey on Erratics and Unconformities picks up where Netherfield Works left off. We take the canal towpath out of the city. We fork north shortly afterwards. Is this where it started? The terrain gradually becomes more rugged. Familiar. Wild.
