RECORD STORE DAY

Saturday 21st April is Record Store Day – an international day of support and celebration of independent record shops. To mark the occasion we thought we’d post a run down of our favourite London vinyl peddlers…

ROUGH TRADE EAST
Rough Trade started in 1976 and has two iconic stores. With our HQ just around the corner, we favour the Brick Lane premises – a 5,000 square ft loft-style store, café and gig space which offers a huge range of music to East London’ music lovers.

SISTER RAY
The Soho based shop has been running since 1987 and has fought through the era of music downloads, continuing to be a vibrant shop for west end music lovers. Noted for it’s appearance on  the cover of Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? the shop sells a wide variety of quality music.

PHONICA RECORDS

Opened in 2003 the Soho store is the more modern pick out of our three. With a slick interior and a focus on dance music, it’s become one of London’s well loved record stores putting on parties, events and managing their own record label.
