Family-run in the literal sense. Dean is Dad, founder and director, and specialises in rock and roll, 80s, 90s and English rock; his eldest son Chris works the counter and buys, and is the one to ask about Britpop, Oasis and the hard to find; Dan builds the website and keeps the orders moving. Based at The Maltings on Mill Street, they buy and sell vinyl, CDs and music memorabilia, from vintage pressings to cult classics and collectible rarities, every record handpicked. The genre racks cover pop, rock, hip hop, indie, RnB and soul, jazz, metal, punk, dance and electronic and soundtracks, with second hand, singles, preorders and a section called The VAULT. Crate-dig or just talk records over the counter; both are the point.
