Manchester vinyl shoppes?

Hello all.

Im heading over to manchester soon and hope to get in the saville show :-) but dont know one end of the city from the other [it being my first time], so as a non native, i was hoping someone of you could tell me wheres the best area for sourcing good records (shops / areas)- espically new order! As a fan of a meagre 3 years, im not lookin for specific bootlegs/rarities, just good shops with good no/jd stuff you wont find in HMV or crumby old dublin-12inches/concerts/ etc

Any help would be really nice

vinyl revival off oldham st near the old dry bar its full of everything joy division-new order related

try vinyl exchange,cant remember the street name,but its very near the city centre,some where behind debenhams me thinks! its also across the road from eastern bloc records,just ask someone they"ll help you! regards

its on oldham st

Have a look at this guide: www.vinylvulture.co.uk/pages/digger-manc1.htm

Amusing if not a little contentious. If you head for Oldham Street which is off the main square called Piccadilly Gardens you can't go wrong.

actually ignore that guide, load of crap written by an arrogant little twat

Recommended places to visit are Vinyl Exchange - Oldham street (they have a great vinyl section downstairs in the basement). Vinyl Revival - just nearby on Hilton Street is also a good place - albeit a little pricier for Factory collectibles than Vinyl Exch - plus VOX POP, which is found in the basement of a boutique called Cafe Pop - formerly a ground floor beatnik cafe - has a great vinyl section likewise. There is also a very good shop outside of the city centre in Chorlton on Wilbraham Road called KINGBEE RECORDS - it was here that I picked up some great Factory 12" rarities at even cheaper prices than Vinyl Exchange. Manchester has loads of specialist shops - there must be about two dozen in the city centre alone. Most of these are found in the same area as Vinyl Exchange/Revival - just have a walk up and down the nearby streets and you should come across a few of them. Whatever you do though, avoid a shop called "Factory Records" on Church Street like the plague - despite nicking the graphics off Peter Savile, this shop has sod all to do with anything Factory at all - it's just a dance music specialist shop....

Oh, sorry, this thread is about records. Oops.
