Record Shops

• Reflex Records, Southsea
• focus sounds - waterlooville
• Reflex Records on Albert Road
• Re: Ross Records. We don't have the branch in Waterlooville anymore - (lease sold)but better than ever at the North End branch. 1000's of pre-owned DVDs compliment the favourite lines that you are all used to! I'll be here for the next 40 years....Benny Ross
• HMV (Gunwharf and Commercial Road) have always got good stuff. Old and new! Virgin too, usually have an offer on too which is good.
• Albert Road is full of specialist record shops, oldies, alt shops..etc. Just have a moosey down there.
• Albert Road is great for specialist & independent record stores like Reflex & Boomhound Records. Ross Records in North End has an excellent selection of second hand CDs & Games at low prices.

• Ross Records- Kington Road (owned and run by Benny Ross for 40 years or so - with another branch in Waterlooville) DOES display records in a 'sort-of' organised way - they are alphabetical based on the first letter of the artists name, regardless of music genre - you might find 'The Beatles' among the 'T's and 'A quartet' with the A's. There is also a separate rack for CDs marked down from some earlier price - that might be something nearly new marked down £1 or something they can't shift marked down TO £1. There are enormous bargains on stuff they don't recognise. Can be the greatest Treasure Trove shop anywhere in the U.K. - especially if Benny is in a 'dumping' mood.
• HMV. All you need to know
• HMV Gunwarf has an excellent range
• Under Your Nose Records, in Dresscode (Albert Road). Selling local music and some classic vinyl.
• Reflex Records in Albert Road is the best place to get Cds and far cheaper than anywhere else.
• Try Virgin or HMV. There is an independant shop down albert road but i cant remember what its called or where it is.
• Speak to Nick @ Sweet Memories in Fratton Road > he does know his records

• Sweet Memories Record shop in Fratton Road - Established 10 years over 50,000 rare vinyl records from the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s This vinyl records shop is well worth a visit! http://www.vinylrecords.co.uk/
• AJ's record exchange. A lot of dodgy 80's stuff, but plenty of weird old vinyl too (jazz and easy listening). Can sometimes get 3 lps for a fiver. Used to deal in collectable porno mags too...
• Ross records - loads of great records at really cheap prices - check it out
• AJ's in Albert Road new and vintage tracks. Ask for Adam. Just say Jim sent you. Great prices.
• PopScene, in Cosham High Street is one of the best independent stores around for both new and used DCs (and vinyl). Loads of imports.
• Ross Records in North End is the best second hand CD place around. You need patience though as they are not grouped alphabetically. Some people think this is strange - but it's all part of the ritual! Also Reflex Records on Albert Road. They even still have vinyl.
• the new virgin store in commerical road has alot to offer
• Reflex records is a good one in albert road lots of alternative stuf there as well!!!
• Reflex records 'bert rd- great, groovy and cute staff
