grant Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 any good record shops in Manchester apart from That Beatin Rhythm as i go on Holiday Saturday to Blackpool and gonna pop to Manchester for a day King Bee Records in Chorlton, run by DJ and promoter Les Hare. Has lots of boxes of stuff - originals, pressings , British etc. Good selection, with a record player handy to play stuff at your will. Some nice prices in the main, but some stuff may be a bit over-priced (where isn't it these days!). Bought loads of stuff from here over the years. Well worth a visit - own website for directions etc. Good Luck!

Reg Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 VOx Pop (round the corner from Beatin Rhythm) and downstairs at Vinyl Exchange are also worth a look for albums. Some of it's reissued stuff but you still can find some nice things.

Little-stevie Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Yes a good call on King Bee and Beatin Rhythm,the better known shops for rare black music...Ask at the counter at Vox pop for some of the better stuff,they have plenty but not really on show....Did not have the Duke down as a funky guy ,yes Fat city have a good selection of underground tunes on the modern(not 70s) side..All these sit in the northern quarter apart from King Bee and there are a few more there too for second hand and new release stuff..Happy shopping...
Guest the dukester Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Did not have the Duke down as a funky guy , Steve. My Mum told me to try everything once in life......... except Folk Dancing and Incest

Dunc Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Defo King Bee for me. Les is a really nice guy and his prices are right. You will not be disappointed, have been dealing with him for years. Dunc
