Going for a Song

A Chronicle of the UK Record Shop

Garth Cartwright
Opened in 1894, when wax cylinder recordings of Boer War songs were strong sellers, Spillers in Cardiff has been officially recognized as the world’s oldest record shop. Garth Cartwright’s chronology traces the fortunes of the UK’s record shops from that point to the present day, taking in examples such as Liverpool’s North End Road Music Store, which helped launch The Beatles, and Rough Trade and Small Wonder in London – both significant in the story of punk.
