Sounds Retro record store opens

Posted by: Steve J on 25 July 2015

Pete, who has supplied me with good second hand vinyl over the years had to pack up shop when the market in Watford was closed. The new outdoor market wasn't suitable for him but he has found some lovely premises around the corner in Market Street with the records very neatly presented. The opening of the shop was delayed by poor health but the he's now fighting fit and runs it with his wife. His prices are realistic and he has an excellent selection of LPs and singles. If you're in the area it would be worth your while giving him a visit.

 

Here are a few pics I took on my iPhone this morning.

Great to see and looks real cool!

 

All the best to Pete, his wife and all who shop there,

That looks awesome Steve. I go to Watford a fair bit so will drop in next time I visit.

 

More good news, another new shop - Turnstyle Records - opened in Streatham (just by the Hideaway Club) a fortnight ago. All vinyl, lots of jazz, blues and soul, a lot of bargains. Worth visiting if you're in Saarf London.

Looks like a great shop. I don't live too far away in Knebworth so I will definitely pop in for a visit some time soon. Any idea of the opening hours?

Steve, this looks like a really nice shop just wish I was a little nearer.

 

I wish Pete all the very best in his new home.
