Recordland, 40 Trafalgar Street

By John Lias

Possibly the last of all the stores within this list to close, I believe I'm right in saying it was still open for business as recently as 2001 or 2002.

I hadn't gone there for a while though as, whereas it always sold some in-demand singles, it never really specialised in soul LPs and I only ever picked up a handful over a long period of time.

Comments about this page

I sold a lot of my best vinyl here whenever I got skint. Just before I moved to Spain in the early 2000's, they bought a Michael Jackson picture disc of Thriller from me for a fiver. To be fair, it was the sort of place where I went in to make a few quid, and ended up spending it all back.

You are right John Lias, not a lot of Soul in general, but excellent for Motown, especially upstairs. I have a few rare LPs which I wouldn't have but for Recordland. The owner was very helpful as I recall.
