'The book is an indispensable, lovingly crafted, and worthy addition to any vinyl fan's collection...Where else could you discover the shop that puts all its new records out on a Saturday morning, with a fresh line of those in the know queueing outside?' Every Record Tells A Story
London's record shop scene is at its most vital and buoyant point since the 1990s, following a resurgence of interest in vinyl over recent years. Tom Greig, who has immersed himself in the world of London's record shops for close to two decades, profiles and tells the story of 60 distinctive independent record stores, selling both new and used vinyl. Vinyl London is at once a practical guide, featuring maps, addresses, opening times and stock information, and an attractive visual celebration of London's record shops.
The book is organised geographically, and contains the following chapters; Soho; North; East; South; West; Suburbs; Markets; Vinyl Cafes.
