After living so close to this shop for year and never actually going in to spend a serious amount of time browsing here, I feel like I've committed a crime. Their tag line is "Friendly service, record and book finding service". Perfect for a Saturday morning hangover browsing session. I could spend a while in here. It's not huge, but perfectly formed and reasonably priced. They even have a vintage clothing section at the bottom although I couldn't quite pull myself away from the records to have a look. I will be back. They have a huge selection of classics, not just the crusty records you find in other second hand vinyl stores. A must for any music collector.

I've read nice things about the only Record Store in Dalston, and while i'm in town i always…read moreresearch local stores and go to the ones that seem decent to pitch them my record that came out on 4 labels and yet is only available in some parts of the world as import (which makes it too expensive for most independant stores to have in stock). Kristina Records made a nice impression on the surface, so i walk up to the clerk and tell him i'd like them to stock the LP - he looks as me with this expression full of contempt and goes ''i bet your album is not from this year'' - i tell him this is the first/ German edition and is from last year, but it came out in the US just this March - he flips it over and finds "2013" at the bottoms - points at it and says not without glee ''there!'' - i was too shocked that the guy basically dismised the album based on the fact that it's ''from last year'' without even looking it up and checking who was involved in it and where it was released or just plainly, listen to it. London record stores are terribly snotty, just like their counterparts in Portland - another city which is saturated with bands - but i've never had such a ridiculous respsonce anywhere. and if clerks working in a store dont give a damn about new music, have no interest in discovering something and promoting it, then i have very little respect for their store. as i myself have a huge passion for discovering new stuff and sharing it with my music loving friends. pretentious, unfriendly and apparently only stocks album from ''this year''.

And a rail of really good (like really good) vintage clothes. Proper, like old Levis jackets. So that side of the shop is brilliant. And then, out the back, is racks and racks of incredible vinyl. Amongst the best I've seen. Just quality reggae, loads of old African stuff. Old Soul. Jazz. 45s. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. One of the best shops I've ever been in.

I've…read morebeen aware of Cosmos Records in Toronto for at least 10 years but I just found out that there was a Cosmos Records in London. Going to Cosmos was high on my to do list whilst here in the city of London. I'm glad to say that I was not disappointed with my trip to Cosmos! A GREAT selection of vinyl is to be found in this shop. If you love funk, soul, jazz, Latin, Brazilian, African, Hip-Hop, House, electro, sound libraries, comedy, etc., on vinyl, then you must go there. Don't waste your time and money anywhere else in London; just go to Cosmos Records. Thank me now or later.

It's time someone was honest about this shop. Do they get in a fairly unusual selection due to…read moretheir US connections? Yes. But they price their stock through the roof and anyone with any experience buying vinyl will recognise titles they can pick up for £5-10 elsewhere at £20-30 here. You could then make the argument that at least its all in mint condition and guaranteed first press, for the collector without time to search out these things for cheaper prices, but even this isn't the case. A copy of Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz that they have for an eye-watering £75 is just the orange/green 1974 reissue, barely worth £20-30. Sleeves are often scuffed and worn. If you like the shop, like the people and don't mind paying over the odds by some 50% or more for the privilege then please patronise this establishment. If you have ever bought a record anywhere else in the world, don't bother.

Bought a £26 disc sold as NM, made a mistake of not checking it carefully before taking it home. Scratch on side B made the disc unlistenable.

I always loved this market on sundays- just because it's always a bit quieter than the upmarket and the stalls are a bit more bling-y, like bling phone cases, and bling necklaces, interspersed with some good old vintage glasses and hand drawn artwork. ALSO there's a good few food stands outside too! The collar I even haggled for and damn, i got tonnes of compliments- so it shows that you don't need to pay crazy prices for UNIQUE statement jewellery.

The barista didn't look thrilled I was there but maybe he was just not happy working on a Sunday. There's only four tables inside with a couple outside so not many people could fit in here anyway. Within in an hour a couple more groups of people showed up, along with people coming in just for records. The barista changed the record playing frequently and the music was always pleasant. No filter coffee, but I did have a delicious americano served in a glass mug. A lovely experience all together.
