They still do, and 'kids' of all ages should be pleasantly surprised at just how many places in this city they can still buy records from. So this is our one-stop guide to the fantastic record shops of Greater Manchester, from the 'Vinyl Valley' that is Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter, to the windswept streets of Bolton, Lancashire. Browse the menu on the right hand side and go shopping! 
Visit Manchester
Piccadilly Records have a live in-store performance from Cymbals Eat Guitars coming up on Wednesday November 17th at 6pm. The Staten Island combo will be playing an acoustic set to plug their rather fine ‘Why There Are Mountains’. This is guitar pop with blasts of Sonic Youth, Pavement and the Pixies but laden with pop hooks which sit firmly in 2009.You can also see the amped up, much louder version of the band the same night at Night & Day Cafe which is conveniently located across the road from Piccadilly.

Ooh La La…French 7″ Rarities
On the Vinyl front, worth checking these out lovely little 7″s that have just arrived. These are not second-hand, or re-issues, they’re original 1970s pressings in ‘as new’ condition. They’ve just been languishing around in a warehouse somewhere and now they’ve landed in Manchester just in time for Noël. Piccadilly only have very limited stocks of these so be quick. Just click this link (or go to the shop itself) and go splash some of your Euros on some French 45s.
