If you're seriously into music then this is a place to visit. Situated in a little complex across…read morethe road from freshney place is what I describe a vinyl heaven. The shop has a massive range of new and (mostly) second hand vinyl records. There are some cd's, dvd's and other formats available but the majority of the stock is good old fashioned vinyl records! The stock ranges from some 50's and 60's classics through the great rock era of the 70's, goth, new wave, punk, early 80's and then the new wave of british heavy metal of the 80's followed by the resurgent glam rock and heavy metal of the early 90's right through to the more modern indie and grunge. The only problem I have is not having enough time to spend here - it's very easy to lose a hour or two leafing through the records - and not having enough money to buy everything I want. The records are usually in excellent condition and the owner will play them there for you to see that there are no jumps or scratches. I've never had a problem buying from here. Love it.

They have a massive range of musical instruments, accessories and music. The guitar showroom upstairs is awesome with some spectacular guitars on offer. If they don't have it in stock and it's available they will get it for you. All the staff are musicians so they know what they're talking about and they are not condescending towards those of lesser ability (I'm not that good a guitarist). They will set up and tune guitars to your specification; free when purchasing a new guitar. They have a great selection of amps too. The prices are very competitive to any other store in the country so no need to travel to get what you want.

A welcome addition to Harrogate's Montpellier Quarter!…read more Wall of Sound used to be located in Halifax and was a decent place to find collectable vinyl. Now proprietor Elliot has relocated to a small area half way up the stairs in Space's new multi-stall complex just off Parliament Street. The whole place is worth a look - fun stalls and a cool bar upstairs. But nestling between is a vinyl junkie's mini-paradise. The accent is on older music - 60s and 70s, country rock, psychedelia, blues, bluegrass, west coast... You'll find some punk and indie in here too, and it's worth spending some time browsing through the racks as well as the amazing slices of premium vinyl on the walls. CDs are available but vinyl dominates. You'll also find some cool collectors stuff - there was an AC/DC promo boiler suit last time I looked for instance, and some really excellent posters for various other bands and stuff behind the counter. Elliot is on hand to offer his well-informed opinion - and he knows an awful lot about the music he sells I should add - and remains a music enthusiast who is happy to share a story over a tune or two. If there's stuff you're after give him a list and see how he does. I did that and within a week he'd found me a couple of bits of vinyl I was looking for. Quality service. With a lack of music collector's shops in the area this place was greeted with utter delight my myself and my friends. The stuff inside is really good and with a friendly and knowledgeable chap in charge I just wonder how much of my money I'll end up spending in here as there is always something interesting to buy...

They seem to constantly have a sale on and although this is great for the customer it never seems to make the staff rearrange displays or order in different stock. I can now walk into the Grimsby store and past the aisle of TV box sets and go - Sopranos, Alias, House, A Team, etc without even looking and know they'll all be in the same place as last visit. Also the staff are pretty indifferent. I like my music and film but HMV is not a likable experience at present.

At this time there were three major music retailers in the town as well as others like woolworths who also carried a small section of similar stock. The prices were keen and the staff were helpful. Since the demise of Andy's Records both HMV and Virgin (now zavvi) seem to have gone downhill. The range of stock is poor and the prices are no longer that competitive. The staff are poor at best and definately have a lack of interest in what they are selling or the customer. If I visit HMV it is usually as a last resort these days.

Don't be scared off by the slightly hidden entrance way and the sketchy stairs, it all contributes to a humble, unique shopping experience. This shop specialises in vinyls and also sells tickets to some of the best events in town (including the infamous Subdub at the West Indian Centre) meaning its clientele are usually clued up drum and bass elitists who are the real deal. There are also a whole host of event flyers sprinkled around the place for you to peruse and plan your next months worth of activities with. The staff are friendly and always willing to use their extensive knowledge of this music scene to help you find what you're looking for. Though it may not be as big as Jumbo or as varied, that means that Tribe can afford to specialise and stay underground rather than becoming too mainstream. This is Tribe's secret to success.
