Roandy55 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi, are you planning on visiting? Apart from googling I don't know of any decent stores in Milton Keynes/Bedford (I'm in Peterborough) but there is a bus service (Stagecoach X5) from Milton Keynes/Bedford to Cambridge which has Lost In Vinyl who are very good. They also have Black Barn Records which is a vinyl/memorabilia shop and very pricey but good for a browse. It costs around £10 for a dayrider ticket on the bus, and Cambridge is always worth visiting imo. http://www.lostinvinyl.org/about whoa and delilah._.mae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyckelJay Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 There's an iPhone app called "The Vinyl District" that uses your location to show you record stores around your area. I've never been to the UK, so I'm not sure if it only works in the US, but you could give it a try if you have an iPhone!

delilah._.mae Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks so much! Yes, I usually get the bus to my school, so I could get the long ride to cambridge on early closure days? I have also done some googling and have found a place in Bletchley called bulldog records, I really recommend it! Roandy55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if you were visiting from the US or UK based, as this is a mainly US forum. Sorry I cant recommend anything closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Might need to stretch a little further a field, and only going based on my knowledge, but there's a couple in Nottingham including a decent Rough Trade which opens late on Fridays/Saturdays (and whilst you're there, grab a burger from Annies Burger Shack). Northampton has Spun Out, but didn't go in when we drove pass, not sure if it's mostly dance music or what, but they did a RSD thingy so guessing they'll have that Toto Africa die-cut picture disc everyone wants! Else trains to London take 40 mins from either Milton Beans or Bedford (some of these trains take a little longer, so the former is better) and you'll have plenty of selection in Soho to browse about.

Thanks! I'm heading up to London soon so I will be sure to check out some of the ones there. Do you think that the markets (Camden market, portobello market etc) are worth looking at?

I'm just looking for a decent place with good quality records to expand my collection. Most of the time I shop at HMV, but because everything is brand new, it costs a fortune! Just spent £30.00 on "What's the story morning glory " , then found it online for a tenner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
