 The Record Shop

 The record shop was once the centre of every music lover's universe, from the beginnings of the vinyl 12 inch in the 1940's through to the digital music developments of the 1990's, millions of us browsed, socialised and bought music in 3,235 local record shops, market stalls or high street department stores.  Record shops were an integral part of the social fabric in local areas.  They launched pop stars, record labels, and were focal points for emerging music genres.  The aim of this site is to record the history of the record shop in an accessible archive, to hold intrinsic details that could get lost in the mix, and to celebrate the role that the record shop played. 
We are looking for memories through
 stories, anecdotes, 
comments, photographs, videos, record shop bags, posters and more.    For example, what  was your first record and where did you buy it?   Please email recordshoparchive@btinternet.com


If you have records for sale please contact: 07799271699
