What the folk?

Folk … Electric folk … Acid folk … What the folk? So, I asked Pete “what the folk” are all these genres about? We started with folk music and this is basically how the conversation went: Folk music probably originated from minstrels who used sing songs telling the news of the day in middle […]

Mercy and the Wild Sea I had this bought for me as a gift and boy do I love this album !! Got it today .. played it three times already! If you’re a fan of Wars of The Worlds then you will love this ! A modern day feel though and it tells the story of a highly qualified Space Ranger Mercy when she is Court Marshalled. Apparently a Birmingham band are behind this .... great lead vocalist Corrine Lucy is mix of Ann Wilson meets Alannis Morrisette ... totally love her voice ! The whole album has a rock feel ... thumping bass lines.. powerful drumming and atmospheric lead guitar ! The narrator has a precise tone to his voice similar to a Richard Burton feel ! Corrine has a fab voice delicate where need but totally in control and I love the 80s rock harmonies ... just superb ! Well presented in a gate fold cover .. love the internal artwork snd it comes complete with a booklet which is great to look through Definitely worth adding to your vinyl collection and not that many were made apparently ! I give this 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟read more

Great selection of CDs that are in superb condition for less than you would pay on Amazon or ebay. I prefer the CD format for car. My friend loves the vinyl. An amazing choice, constantly changing. We are regulars late on a Saturday afternoon and are often the last to leave. Sorry! A brilliant shop, a must for any music enthusiast.read more

Pete is something of a magician, mention someone or something obscure and not only will he have heard of the artist but after a minute or two rummaging he appears with some vinyl by said artist #Magicread more

They stock a serious amount of excellent records, many are sold that some of us have only ever read about or have on CD. Get down to there and get crate digging!. You will not be disappointed at all. 😀read more

This is a lovely little shop; great stock, old school record shop feel to it. In the time I was there the owner had played AC/DC, Sabbath and Human League, which is a good sign by any measure. Soul and funk section was something else (more than one Jimmy Castor Bunch record. A mint pressing of James Brown's Sex Machine, Curtis Mayfield. I could go on). Support this place because there's no record shop like it anywhere near Sutton.read more
