Record Shops

• cd wow opposite legends
• The little 2nd hand 1s up by Clements, nice selection if u can be bothered to look and alot cheaper than Virgin or HMV
• Great place just off St Albans Road in North Watford (just past the Co-Op)
• freedom is now d'Vinyl, only thing different is the name, waste of time unless u want d'n'b or gay-rage. theres a new one right at the top of town, keep going until u hit the bus-stop then turn right, its just round the corner, has pretty decent selection of funky house, a few breaks and some hard house.
• DeVinyl, in Market Street, i think its called. sells garage records, decks, tickets 2 gigs, free flyers advertising gigs, bags, etc...........
• Since its opening in 1996 D'VINYL has become one of LONDON'S & Watfords leading dance music stores, stocking HOUSE, GARAGE, OLD SKOOL and CLUB CLASSICS and specialising in UK GARAGE and DRUM and BASS both old and new. Being run by DJ’S, all the staff at D’VINYL know what it is like to hunt down those hard to find and elusive tunes so if there is a particular classic or upfront gem that you are after then mail your wants list to them and they will try to track them down for you and for all you budding DMC champions out there they also stock a large range of BREAKS and SCRATCH/SAMPLE RECORDS
• virgin,hmv

• CD warehouse is good
• Watford does not have even 1 decent record shop! There used to be one on Market Street but alas that was shit also.
• BEST RECORD SHOP & MKT STALL:- PAST & PRESENT RECORDS @ # 156. St. Albans Road the name explains itself NOT 'past & present pine' also in same road Garston going towards Watford on the left just before Lowerstoft Road traffic lights opp' eden's Hairdresser's & MASSAGE PARLOR (worth a mention)that's a relief! Also more RECORDS & CD's etc in Watford Market open Tues/Thurs, and Saturday's.
• Freedom records! I have spent some good times in there the morning after the night before clubbing- kewl shop, kewl staff and good selection!
• The one in Market street. expanded to beigger premises about 2 years ago
• Freedom Records- Specialise in all types of dance music, latest Vinyl and all you need for starting off to be a wannabe EZ.
• Theres a place that sells some shite dance stuff down Market Street

• One good shop in Market Street can't remember the name, they also sell tickets for festivals, if they haven't got what you want I get my choons from www.plasticfantastic.co.uk or www.htfr.com they do mail order and I've never had a scratched bit of vinyl yet
• The market used to have a good second hand stall, but haven't checked it out in yonks. All the good spcialist shops disappeared - the Harlequin turned into an Our Price, which itself disappeared. There also used to be an excellent one up the top of town quite close to where Scruffy Murphy's is now, but that shut down n'all. Shame
• CD Warehouse on the High Street can often surprise with deleted items and bargains. You can sell your stolen records here too (only joking--ID is required).
• Freedom Records, good looking records. if you are into that sort of thing
• Check out Freedom Records in Market Street (off the High Street) - it specialises in UK Garage but also sells House/Drum&Bass/Hardcore etc... One of the best record shops I have been to - watch out for Saturday afternoons though - you'll probably get crushed by a herd of 14 year old wanna-be dj's after the latest DJ Oxide tune.
• Past & Present Records, St Albans Road. The only place really!
• Virgin megastore in the Harlequin centre is the only one worth looking at,but dont look for any Virgins there.
• Freedom Records in Market St, just off the main drag - a little bit too much speed garage in there and not enough house imports, but pretty good nevertheless - and they have nice, shiny new premises too!
• Virgin Records
• 2nd hand CD shop at the further end of Watford- near Clements deparmtent store - great for those CDS you can never get your hands on!
