Much-loved record shop opens in new location

By Martin Booth  Saturday Apr 30, 2022

A record shop that had spent the last dozen years in St Nick’s Market has reopened in a new location just a few hundred yards away.

Wanted Records now has more racks of vinyl and two listening decks as well as DJ sessions during late opening evenings.

“We’ve been hording a fine selection of rare jazz, African, reggae and lots more so don’t miss out,” say the Wanted Records team.

They added on social media: “For those who don’t know (we haven’t really spread the word, but these things always leak), Wanted Records is moving.

“After 12 years, we’re leaving the cosy environment of St Nicholas Market and braving the outside world.

“The new shop is bigger and better and, according to Google Maps, approximately 70 metres from the old shop.”
