"Moving to Brighton 11 years ago from London, we fell in love with the city. When my wife and I met in Montreal at a music festival, our first date was record shopping, my first job after school when I was 18 was working in the Beggars Banquet record shop in South Kensington and when that shut down, I managed three different Our Price shops in London before I joined Cocteau Twins in 1983. Before I got that first job, I spent most of my teenage years in Beggars and in Rough Trade in Notting Hill hanging out and buying 7inch records with every spare penny I had. Was always a dream to have a record shop again one day." - Simon, owner of @bellaunionvinylshop 🌟 October’s featured shop 🎃 Read his full interview via our Linktree (in bio!)

What’s The Story, Morning Glory? Today is #LondonHistoryDay and what better way to celebrate than with a Britpop music fact that may have slipped under your radar... RSD shop @sisterraysoho, established in 1989, is located on London’s Berwick Street, Soho. The location is also infamous for another reason – #Oasis' seminal 1995 ‘What’s the story, Morning Glory?’ In 1995, when the front cover of Oasis’ album was shot, you can see the old record shop, Selectadisc, which would later become Sister Ray. The location was selected due to the various record shops on the street, and Sister Ray would later migrate further down the road, where it has remained to this day. Since their album-feature-fame, Sister Ray has participated in multiple Record Store Days and become a favourite record haunt of many Londoners.
