Review of Out Of Step Records
08 Nov 07, 20:47
Out of step, out of sight..? 
Out of Step is commonly regarded as the more'alternative' choice of Leeds independent record shops. They stock a good range of local and more well known music, including vinyl and some rarer limited edition stuff. Especially popular for tunes of the punk, metal and experimental genres. It's tucked away in a corner of the Merrion Centre some may not know about- and it's been rumoured to be closing for some time, but still appears to be open for the time being. Fans include many into the'DIY' music scene here. Happy to put up posters for you if you have an appropriate gig to advertise.

Review of Jumbo Records

Jumbo records 
This music store excels if you are looking for more obscure jazz or world music, especially on vinyl- there is a large selection to choose from and they will take orders. It's also a ticket shop. If you have posters or flyers for upcoming gigs, the friendly staff will be happy to display them and you can also pick up local free music mags here. One corner has a nice arrangement of local music, too. Not the cheapest record shop in Leeds but this one has character and a decent array of stuff to choose from.

Review of Crash Records

Crash Records
One of several independent record shops in Leeds, Crash is highly renowned and is usually the first to get in an new releases. It's a particular haven for local bands records, and if an artist releases a CD or vinyl in Leeds and/or nationwide, you can probably find it here. If you can't, they are likely to offer to order it for you. They also sell merchandise including t-shirts and badges of more commercial bands, and gig tickets, though quite a hefty booking fee is sometimes added but you are helping an independent. Staff manner is usually okay and willing, but not my favourite place to shop for music.
