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...

Darlington is a pretty small town and has had many music shops in the past (with 'Williams' being…read morethe longest standing and most prominent). I personally think the Darlington Music Centre is one of the best music stores we've had in Darlington, the staff are friendly and always very willing and helpful. The prices are pretty competitive and if appropriate they have been willing to negotiate in the past. For a music store in a small town they also have a decent selction of guitars including big name originals like Gibson, Fender and PRS. Also for those of you wanting to learn how to play an instrument you can enquire in store for guitar lessons or drum lessons, in fact you can take the drum lessons at the back of the store so you don't need a drum kit and don't need to annoy your neighbours (until you decide you're serious about it!;)

Finding a, um, 'Space', like this in Harrogate was a pretty strange experience really. Like walking…read moreon the moon. I saw it as I walking by and gravity went from underneath me, I got all bouncy in my step and bounded in - eager to forage for some vintage delights. Bargain vintage delights. In Harrogate? This is new. I didn't find bargain vintage delights. Rather expensive vintage delights. Very expensive vintage delights. You want £28 for a set of old cups? Oh right, I see. You're really vintage. Oooh. Oooooh. A new oooooh. You've got copies of The Face. I was never a cool enough early teen to be into The Face. I wish the face still existed. Oooooh. There's a copy here with The Strokes on the front. You want a fiver for it? Not a quid? Ah. Right. This place knows it has novelty value in Harrogate. And while it might spout about being an independent collective of vintage 'retailers', what would be a very enjoyable haberdashery of all nice, cute old things comes off feeling a bit too retail-based. We'll see how this one pans out.

I love this shop. All sorts of yesteryear nick-nacks…read more Shops like this have received a little bit of attention of late because they are selling the collectable stuff people hope to find in charity shops. The interesting bits you used to find in charity shops find a home here and the place does well. What's more the really knowledgeable guy who runs it is a great to spend some time with as he comes across a great deal more than can fit onto this Tardis-like shop. It's a wonderful place to browse in, but, as another reviewer said, don't expect charity shop prices as a lot of this stuff is now quite hard to find, and is priced accordingly.

They have a reasonable selection of vinyl within the main bar. I was hoping the record store part…read moreof the business would have had more space and selection, but they make the most of what they have. They are well priced and the staff are both knowledgeable and very friendly. Because it's primarily a bar it does mean it has the best opening hours for a record shop I've ever come across , pub hours. So When all the other shops are closed Skipton Sound Bar comes into its own offering a much more customer friendly experience than anyone else in the area. Well worth a visit !

This place is amazing! A "vinyl bar" - what is a vinyl bar I hear you ask? Well it's a place where…read moreyou can have a drink, buy some vinyls, listen to some vinyls being played, and generally have an awesome and lovely time. In a case of "it's not what you know it's who you know", my dad and I got a super friendly welcome because my dad's friend knows the owner and had told him we were coming. I'm willing to bet the owner (and the rest of the staff) are lovely and friendly anyway. Not a huge range of drinks - I'm not sure if this is something they're working on or if they're just going to keep a limited offering and focus on the music, man. There was some beer on draught, some bottles (I had a very nice weissbier), wine, soft drinks, coffee etc. Admittedly I'm not in Skipton often but this will be on my list next time I'm there!

The staff are really helpful and although slightly outside the town centre it is not too far away and located close to alternative venues The Warehouse and PR1. Whilst some of the stuff can be a little pricey there really is so much on offer that you're sure to find something affordable and to your taste. You really can spend quite some time in here looking through all the vinyl and there are often some hidden gems if you are lucky enough to find them!

Relic Records is a grand old place, down to earth and bursting with vinyl. I happened to nip in…read morehere the other day and happily sifted through some of their collections. The store itself isn't necessarily the most 'chic' place to be, it's certainly an old enough building with some "rustic" decor, but that's no indicator of what gems are held within. They've got a whole hoard of stock, in a number of classic genres, so certainly cater for most tastes. Whilst records may speak of a time gone by there's no shortage of people interested in purchasing old Beatles albums and the like so it's a good job that shops such as this carry on strong! I haven't yet had a chance to go back and search out some of my favourite golden oldies, but since I now officially have a record player at home, I will definitely be travelling back here to have a good mooch. The staff are lovely here too and more than willing to offer up a bit of advice! All I can say is go and have a browse for yourself, with new stock turning up each week you never know what you may find!

Happily, Relics Records suffers from no such crisis of coolness, and the cheery staff will happily direct you to anything you ask for, no matter how terrible they might think it is. They'll even recommend other bands you might like. There's a decent selection of vinyl, which is increasingly rare these days, and all the CDs are fairly priced, many similar to what you'd pay in the large chain stores. This shop is easily on a par with its better known contemporaries Crash and Jumbo, and due to its bright and airy feel and easy to navigate shelves some might even prefer it.
