Available now is the 25th edition of our Deluxe newspaper, a new edition with albums of consideration and listings of our many highlights from the last year in music.
Written chronologically, this is what we were listening to and when. In these times of seemingly ever-faster tumultuous change, as a record shop, we have a job and are here to focus on the records on the wall, the records on turntables, records in the post, records over the counter and all the great sonic experiences they bring. We take this responsibility seriously, we are proud to be a conduit, an enabler and an amplifier to these many remarkable sounds. We are a cog, and whether the machine is small or large, we are vital, as are you.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy reading about the amazing albums that have soundtracked 2022 for us, and that this edition helps you find something that moves you.
