The places where you buy your music

You can tell us more about High Wycombe.

• Counter Culture on desborough road - they sell really good dcs, vinyls and they are always advertising the local gigs being put on.
• Scorpian Records - good for akmost anything your looking for!
• Scorpion Records - a great independant music store. Plus, they stocked Vice magazine while I was there... :D
• Counter Culture on Desborough High Street is pretty good. Then there's Scorpion Records on road that leads towards West Wycombe. Next to Blockbusters and that cycle shop.
• Counter Culture on Desborough, the Phoenix rising from the ashes of the still twitching(and much lamented) Scorpion Records.
• Scorpion Records do a great line in the more alternative releases. Two of the guys have left now and have opened another store down desborough rd area. Can't remember name but supposed to be worth a look.
• scorpion records on oxford road next to magnet and blockbuster virgin megastores in the octagon where they charge 16.99 a cd coz theyre stingy ba*tards
• Project Pheonix is currently under construction and will include a new HMV. Meanwhile there is just V-shop in the Octagon and some independant places.
• CounterCulture,the new shop in Desborough Road is really cool! They've got something for everyone. Rock, indie, hip hop,dance, reggae, blues, soul, both new and second hand stuff. Often have good collectibles, especially old records. Steg's a bit of an old hippy but he's dead friendly and he'll always try and get what you want.Everything else has closed down.
• Scorpion-if u can b bothered to walk ther and spend time lookin around, its a gr8 shop. V shop in the octagon is good when its got sales on (im not paying 17 quid for an album!)
• there are no decent places...apart frm da virgin shop in da octagon.
• INspirit records,olly ainger will help you out.All sorts on genre,check it out.
• Scorpion, Smudgers, VShop if you got money (which no one has cos we all get mugged by kevs)
• scorpian records in wycombe is a pretty phat hang out. very similar to comic book guys place in the simpsons- it has that close me down and do me up appeal. good selections of records thou
• Woolworths is shit o cum on we need a gigantic HMV in our town shuv the old fucks out we need better shops better music shops bring happier ppl!!!
• erm i just go to v shop in t'octagon
• Used to go to Scorpion a lot, but can't be bothered with the trek anymore. There's that new one up by Ruby Moon though..that's alright.
• Smudgers in Castle St. Loads of vinyl imports and cds u won't get anywhere else in town - quite cheap 2.
• There's only one - Scorpion!
• Scorpion is the original and the best!!!!!
• Smudgers in Castle street, Newly opened.....vinyl and CD, check it out..
• vibes uk Desborough rd - good mix of uk and import.
• Scorpian records was a classic place back in the day, not quite as good these days but still better than any of the shops in the Octagon. Inspirit has lots of bang choons. Apparantly.
• Check out Inspirit Music down on Desborough Rd. Sells all new drum & bass / garage / hip hop / and house. Fools. If you want dance music come here. Listening posts also.
• scorpian gets the random stuff u always figure u might buy frim the back pages of nme to look all underground and cool
• Scorpion Records, espacially for those old skool hip hop peeps like me.
• Scorpion Baby and Our Price when it was no Virgin!!
• capital music marlow
• Scorpion Records on the Oxford Rd, V shop in the Octagon.
• scorpion records was always really cool from what i rember, does that cool older punk chick still work there? Used to be there most saturdays i think...
• Inspirt Music (the beard), Scorpion. To be honest I'd goto HMV in oxford street, tower records or rough trade.
• V.shop and scorpion records.
• V Shop or Scorpian
• I spent my teenage years skulking around in scorpian, steg - the bearded bloke who looks like his head is upside down should be given an obe - he once described a record to my brother as "tweaked in all the right places" class.
• That one near the dole office... second hand stuff and badges.
• scorpion records i suppose
• Scorpions isn't bad, but tends to be a bit pricey (£9 for a 2nd hand copy of David Bowie's "Outside"? Come one!). V. Shop's very run of the mill and so is Woolworth's. There's a guy that runs a CD market stall on Tuesdays that's not bad.
• SCORPIAN- HOWEVER ZZ TOP LOOKALIKE I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU WHEN I WAS 12 I SOLD MY WHOLE CD COLLECTION TO YOU FEATURING SUM CLASSICS AND YOU GAVE ME 15 SQUID 4 THE LOT. GRANTED I WAS A FOOL BUT C'MON, YOU BARSTARD!!!!
• scorpian records - whatever your into they'll probably have it. for me they provide all the ninja tunes stuff i could want. And some decent d n b.
• scorpian not too bad but a pain in the arse to flick through everything there, especially when stupid morons put things in the wrong letter section. V-shop useless and best avoided. Freedom/soho used to be good but has now turned into either a computer shop or a phone shop. I can't remember which one. buzz now gone too, theres inspirit(?) on desborough road but its pretty empty (was when I went there).
• scorpion records sell nearly all the alternative shit that u cant get in places such as Vshop
• High wycombes absoloutly terrible for record shops. Just the V.shop which has a POOR selection and Scorpion records which also has a pretty poor selection.
• Scorpian sells loads of vinyl, but its all rock rubbish that the old geezers who run the shop like, the only dance vinyl they sell is a collection of dirty old D+B stuff. Inspirit is a tiny shop on desborough road that only stocks about 50 vinyls at any one time (all but about 6 are hidden behind the counter) Go in there and tell them what your in to and the bloke who works there will produce 2 vinyls from your selected genre - which will cost you about £7 each. The decks they have for testing are just hillariously poor - some old Numark belts which take at least 5 seconds to get up to full speed. The bloke made out there was a recording studio above, but it just sounded like someone upstairs had a tape of 'Lady in Red' on.
• Scorpion Records Sell all de Gangsta rap music But They Store more goth music like nirvana which is god for dem
• scorpion records, down the crap end of town near the bucks cycle centre, trade buy and sell cd's!
• Scorpin in the bestest record shop in Wycombe by far. All the others are shit for Manson and C.o.F and all the decent bands get there c.d.'s snapped up by wana-b townie's
• Virgin, scorpion records and probably a load more. We have been promised an hmv and a new shopping centre (which it will be situated in) for about 10 years now, but the council have told us that we aint gonna get either no more cause some company has pulled out - pathetic!
• Scorpion records is the best record shop in wycombe, sells everything... highly priced though
• Scorpion Records is good and there used to be Buzz Records but the fuckers shut it down or moved it or something. Apparently a new dance shop has opened, called something or other in the beautiful Desborough area of Wycombe.
• since buzz closed there's nowhere for vinyl apart from some place on desborough, but you run the risk of getting mugged/stabbed/shot. you could try scorpion near the hogs head, but it's run by some crusty who doesn't know jack about music unless it's jimi jendrix.
• Scorpion records near Blockbusters. Scorpion may appear to be a rock only record shop but it has everything from dance to opera. Loads of cheap second hand CD's and Vinyl.
• Scorpion records for none of your average music, along by blockbuster videos and the V-shop for your average music
• scorpion has to b the best music shop
• scorpian records is good for findin more obscure music. v-shop is only good for dvd's and chart music
• The one good shop is Scorpion; served by ageing but cool bikers that have clearly killed people in the past. They also have an in depth knowledge of every piece of music released over the past 150 years. V Shop now sucks ass.
• Scorpion. Nuff said.
• Scorpion Records V-shop
• Scorpion records - an institution, thanks to a couple of aging hippys. I think Buzz records shut down after the staff vanished up their own arses. Our Price is now a bizarre Virgin 'ordering point' or some such nonsense.
• Scorpion, v shop is quite rubbish,
• Scorpion very cool, good people, sell great stuff highly recommended
• The virtual shop, plus the usual.
• Scorpion Records-Oxford Road
• inspirit. new. down desborough. good. cool
• Ourprice is the best record shop even though most just have pop this one sells lots of rock as many people in wycombe are freaks like me who listen to korn, 9 inch nails, slipknot etc.. etc..
• When are we going to get an HMV? Wycombe needs more than one mainstream record shop for people like me.
• scorpion is the only record shop to cater for those non-shitty-teeny-boppers. thank God for it.
• Scorpion records it a great place. It sells second hand amd new music. It is also the only record shop in Wycombe that sells viynl. Because it is an independant shop you can also pick up some rare and hard to come by music no matter what your taste is.
• scorpion good record shop for goths and other dead people
• Scorpian - its slightly weird but it has quite a selection.
• Both Buzz records and Freedom have closed down. Buzz had attitude, but it sold garage - what do you expect. Freedom was all right.
• Freedom records is now closed!
• Scorpion records is very cool it sells loadsa music styles, except pop and has loads of 2nd hand cheap music.
• Freedom Records good a cheap
• Freedom records staff are very friendly and will always take time out to tak to you about your choice of music :o)
• Buzz Records - Staff love themselves and aren't too helpful but despite this you can still get some good tunes. Scorpion Record and Tape Exchange is miles better than the Our Price, which is in the Octagon Shopping Centre.
• You'll be lucky. I think Martin's or whatever it's called now sells tapes
• ALL THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED PLUS MARKET STALLS , MONTHLY RECORD FAIRS , DISCOUNT SHOP IN THE OCTAGON AND ALL THE USUAL COMMERCIAL OUTLETS
