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
Last week I made a quick trip over to St
ockport for an update and dig around in Wah Wah Records. The shop opened in June and with warm heart I can say that Chris has moulded Wah Wah into a funky and friendly Vinyl and CD emporium.
Not only has the shop got a new purple exterior, the stock has expanded and he offers a wide range of genres although the emphasis is placed mainly on Rock, New Wave and Punk. In keeping with the location there’s also a nice little Northern section and of course a magic box full of Manchester classics and oddities. There is plenty Smiths, Mondays, Roses, Factory and more unusual like the unsung heroes of the late 80s The Man from Delmonte. There are also a few crates of bargain LPs and singles for a root around…I didn’t have time to go through them all so there might be a few beauties lurking in there.
So if you haven’t already paid a visit gather up your coinage and make that trip to Wah Wah.
