Record Shop
Secondhand Vinyl
Vinyl care
Music DownloadsFrom now till we have enough space to swing a record bag – We’re having a vinyl sale, piles of records in the shop at a straight forward £1 each.
We’ve just started putting some records online which will grow quick as possible, but for the bulk of them please come in and see us.
And in the real shop, we’ve had an overdue reshuffle that gave the record shop 50% more space. Space for more reggae, more rock and pop, jazz, loads of soul and a huge disco section. The blues section currently has a wealth of early recordings from names you’ve heard of and hopefully some you’ve not.
We have dance music of all genres, in modest quantities. But we just got in a load of deep house which is worth a trawl through…
Reggae reggae reggae… lots of reggae, ska, lovers rock and so on… with new 7″ reggae coming in almost daily at the moment. Come and browse over a coffee.
The folk section is coming along nicely and there’s a few world music treats, and a small but nicely formed Classical section.
And, just added and building fast is the leather and stud covered Heavy Metal section…
As well as music there’s now a large spoken word section full of really interesting recordings such as Vivian Stanshall, comedy and a good sized box of records that cant find any other home – obscure field recordings of trains, birds and so on.
YES….. Audio Gold buy in secondhand vinyl. If you have a collection to sell please let us know, with an indication of Genres, numbers and condition?
Record shop before……
And after…… 50% more space and lovely ladies… wicked!!
We reckon that the more record shops, real shops, the better! Here’s some of our friends and colleagues, go check them out….. and give them our love….

If you are looking for British pressings, deletions or new releases, this is your starting point.
Here is a copy of the grading system, as set out in the record collectors guide, we use to describe the condition of our records;
| Mint (M) | The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. |
| Excellent (EX) | The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. |
| Very Good (VG) | The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable |
| Good (G) | Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc |
| Fair (F) | The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. |
| Poor (P) | The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing |
| Bad (B) | The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler |
