Record Store Day Drops 2020

Record Store Day will be now taking place across three separate RSD “Drop” Dates: Saturday 29th August, Saturday 26th September and Saturday 24th October. What we're stocking can be seen HERE, along with the prices and more info on each releaseThis year will be a bit different, obviously, but we're still opening at 8am and closing at 5pm. You'll have to keep your distance from each other in the queue, and we can only have a couple in the shop at a time, but we'll be going as quickly as we can, so please be patient. Of course, you'll also...

Shop Appointments

We've had a lot of questions about when we might be reopening, and the answer is still - I don't know. Today inessential shops are allowed to open again, but with records people tend to handle more than they're likely to buy, so we'd be either quarantining every record after every customer has been in (we'd be an empty shop within a few hours), or disinfect everything after every customer, which isn't particularly an easy or quick solution.

Long-form analogue electronic journeys across decades and continents, and swathes of post-industrial northern Britain.The journey on Erratics and Unconformities picks up where Netherfield Works left off. We take the canal towpath out of the city. We fork north shortly afterwards. Is this where it started? The terrain gradually becomes more rugged. Familiar. Wild.
