Birmingham


A Birmingham institution, this independent record shop down a tiny backstreet brims with new and secondhand vinyl (and some CDs), including its own label releases. Robert Plant, Duran Duran's John Taylor, Dave Grohl and Neil Diamond are among its past customers. It's a great place to find out about under-the-radar gigs and festivals.
