• Flying Records on Low Bridge. Sells house, trance, techno and drum and bass. Friendly staff who also run the very popular Shindig, a top night out! Other than that, HMV has one of the biggest singles sections in the UK (certainly has more plastic per square foot than the one on London's oxford St. (the biggest HMV in the country). The best thing about getting record here (apart from the fact that they actually have decks to listen to the records on) is that the department's purchaser has excellent taste in music, hence if the record is good, they will have it!
