Record digging tips for Nottingham
A few things worth knowing before you work through Nottingham's record stores:
- Handle records properly in the shop at Just Music. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
- Check the turntable section at mushimushirecords. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
- Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
- Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Nottingham — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Nottingham can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 34, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 34 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
