This record shop in Croydon had already been threatened with closure in late-2006, but was able to keep going in a more limited capacity, its stock is now spread over just one floor rather than the original three.
It has now closed for good, but will be replaced by Beano's Market Place with stall holders over the three floors.
It has an extensive stock over most genres, but especially pop and classic rock & roll. Vinyl plays a large part in its collections, though it also stocks plenty of CDs.
On a visit in March 2008, a large proportion of their 7" vinyl was on sale for £1, including some good items. More collectable items are still priced accordingly, though these can seem quite steep compared with comparable prices on internet auction sites, and even compared to central London stores like Music & Video Exchange.
