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! Contact Us and tell us what you think.
Please enjoy the site and Support your local record shops. Or if you haven't got any local record shops, come to Manchester and support ours.

Ah, I look forward to your review of this one. I pass it all the time but have never gone in. You just can’t beat that record shop on the ground floor/brothel upstairs combo!
I was in the area today and stopped intending to have a nosey. Alas, the place is boarded/shuttered up with a long-abandoned air about it, and the gentleman in the corner shop next door gave me to understand that it has been so for some considerable time. (The “executive health salon” above looks equally derelict, though I made no specific enquiries, being a respectably married man and all that !). Maybe this will save someone a wasted trip.
