WE SELL
RECORDS
THAT MATTER.
Merrill and Pete. Two collectors from York with very eclectic taste and a stall full of proof.
THE MANIFESTO
RECORDS ARE FOR PLAYING
Not for filing away in plastic sleeves. Everything we sell is priced to go home and spin.
ECLECTIC BEATS EVERYTHING
Rock next to ska next to jazz next to something you cannot categorise. That is the point.
CLEAN IT, TEST IT, GRADE IT
Every record gets the full ritual before it earns a place on the stall. No exceptions and no excuses.
PAY FAIRLY, PRICE FAIRLY
We buy collections locally at honest money and pass every single one on the same fair way.
“If it doesn't matter, we don't sell it.”
The house rule
the P & the M, in the wildTWO NAMES,
ONE OBSESSION
What started as a bit of a hobby became our passion. We are Merrill and Pete, sharing our love of music from a stall in our home city, one reasonably priced record at a time.
Our taste is very eclectic on purpose. Rock, soul, ska, jazz, folk, pop, oddities: if it matters to someone, it earns a place on the stall.
EVERY RECORD EARNS
ITS PLACE
Nothing goes out without the ritual: a proper clean, a full play test and an honest grade for both the media and the sleeve. If a record does not play like it should, it does not travel to the market.
Got a collection sitting unplayed in the attic or the garden shed? Buy a record player, or offer it to us. We are happy to collect locally and we pay fairly.
COME AND BROWSE
Wednesdays by The Dark Horse coffee and The Market Cat, Thursdays by the Shambles Tavern. Coffee first, records after: that is the routine sorted.
