Stranger Than Paradise Records

One of my favourite record stores in the world . Small but expertly curated. Everything is good. Friendly vibes. Only new and reissued stuff so no dusty crates, if that’s what you’re after. Can’t recommend highly enough.

This store is fantastic! I ordered a brand new record from this store and it had a scratch on it that came from the manufacturer. The store was extremely kind as well as understanding when I explained the situation to them through email. They then sent me another brand new copy of the record free of charge that was in perfect condition. They even let me keep the scratched copy too. I would definitely buy from them again. The staff is great and my entire experience was completely positive!

Great independent shop - we’ll stocked, friendly and helpful staff

Located inside Mare Street Market find this trim bijou vinyl specialist. Showcasing all new vinyl, largely from boutique and independent labels and thoughtfully avoiding the "Hackney-ed", obvious and anodyne for the more adventurous, recherché and off-kilter. Researched and pinpointed stock curated by an astute and intrepid hand that doesn't shy away from cohabiting with the more outré fringes of most genres. The prices be high, perhaps mitigated by the expertise evident here while the staff are approachable, responsive and pleasant. This might be a relatively "new kid on the block" but this store already hold its ground amid the established players.

Super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have only ordered online and they have always gone the extra mile with any questions, queries and requests. Amazing selection and a wide variety. Can not recommend enough and can’t wait to visit the actual store one day

I do not know about good albums, but enjoyed so much the place to relax and had a good time for food and drink.

Dropped by last Monday with two friends... forgot they closed early that day... owner... more than welcoming... stayed open a bit long... great selection of vinyl and signed books at the counter... indulged in both... recommended...

A great record shop, a perfect selection and above all a very friendly welcome. A perfect combo to join my list of favourite record shops ✨
