Released @ The Hyde Park Book Club
Released finds a new home at Hyde Park Book Club
It’s been a while since that woeful day when we closed the doors of our lovely record shop at Leeds Corn Exchange because of rising rent and service charges (and a lot of heavy lifting shifting all those records to storage units and my garage!).
Since then, we’ve kept the ship sailing online, tightening up our e-commerce capacity and selling to diggers around the world, making daily trips to the post office. But we miss having an actual physical presence in Leeds, so when the opportunity came to partner with our mates at Hyde Park Book Club and have a concession store there, it felt like the right fit.
From this Sunday, 6th October, you can officially find us at Hyde Park Book Club. It’s not our full collection (there’s not enough space for that), instead some well stocked shelves of £2 records in the following genres:
- 12" - House, (tech, deep, soulful, techno, hard etc)
- 12" - Downtempo, Dub, Breakbeat, Trip Hop
- 12" - Hip Hop, Reggae, RnB
- LPs - Rock, Country, Blues
- Lps - Jazz, Easy Listening, Latin, Folk
- 12" - Disco
- 12" -Synth Pop, 80s, New Wave
We’ll be having a launch party from 5pm on Sunday with me (Tony Green) playing some of the records that are for sale, happy to chat about building collections and the joy of digging. Would love to see you there.
Building a collection should not break the bank!
Our shop is ideal for those building a collection - DJing or just collecting records. Remember the price of a record does not equal the quality of music, some of these records are classics!
It’s your ears that matter - many of these records are not hot off the press recommendations, they are waiting to be discovered by you. Dig through, bolster your collection, fine-tune your knowledge, take a chance on familiar labels, producers, and records that just "look good".
There’ll be a new drop each week to keep it churning.
Monthly events
Join us for a monthly event playing through records for sale, with guest diggers and DJs. More details to be announced.
We hope you enjoy this shop and thanks very much to Hyde Park Book Club for having us. Happy diggin!
More partnerships and a special record fair TBA soon!
Love, Tony Green x
