What customers say
★★★★★“Fantastic shop - exactly what I was after when looking for record shops! Great selection of CDs, despite the name. Didn't really browse the vinyl (can't bring a bunch home on the plane sadly) but they had a lot, and I assume a good selection. Did spot a Julian Cope vinyl I was tempted by. If (when really) I come back to Edinburgh I'm sure to visit again!”
★★★★★“Good record shop with a great selection of used and new vinyl, cassettes, CDs and band merchandise. As primarily a record buyer I find the prices pretty reasonable for a shop in a location like this and the quality of the used vinyl is very good. Stock fluctuates (probably depending on what second hand vinyl collections have been acquired) but I always find something worth having in my field of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. Great shop for rockers of all persuasions and all ages!”
★★★★★“Revisited this wonderful shop for the first time since my student days 36 years ago: it hasn’t changed! Bought a LP which was put into a carrier bag that is the same as they were all those years ago. Friendly proprietor gave our dog a treat. The LP is in excellent condition. Fabulous time warp experience.”
