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.”
