Small shop overwhelmed by stock. If you're happy to physically move stock yourself to get to the stuff underneath, this is the place for you. Racks were stuffed too tightly for me and genres were a little too vague ("American," "Male Singers" etc). On the plus side, friendly, decently priced (no Discogs referencing here!) and if you can get to them, plenty of bargains to be found. Just wish I could find things much easier!

A rare find - a hidden gem. Paul has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the records and generously shares his time and experience with all. It is not like any music shop but an experience where Paul treats everyone like friends, playing all the records and CDs (and there are a lot in the shop, all genres and musical tastes catered for). We were delighted to find the shop open after all the sad closures due to the pandemic restrictions. If you come to the South East coast for a day out, please do pay this little shop a visit, you'll be so glad you did. Keep up the great work, Paul!

I used to come in here about 2005/2006, I was a teenage girl obsessed with the smiths. The guy running the shop always made me feel welcome. and I remember he found me a copy of true love stories by jilted john. Always have good memories of this place and all the smiths records he put by for me
