Their catalogue seems to include material from all of the majors \u2013 indeed, I had to think quite hard before I caught their search function out (they don\u2019t have any Zetan Spore, a trance band from down here in Cornwall).

Prices don\u2019t seem inflated from regular retail cost, so this seems like a great way of picking up something a bit more special for a fan who\u2019ll appreciate having an artifact rather than just a download. Other than this little bonus, I can\u2019t see much to distinguish Recordstore.co.uk from the competition \u2013 prices are reasonably similar, the range is pretty comprehensive, but you could get the same service from Amazon. On the other hand, I support them on the same principle that makes me buy food from the farmers market rather than ASDA, the smaller retailers care more, and I think small businesses are a good thing for keeping a marketplace varied, vibrant and full of innovation. Much as we are a smaller enterprise but provide an alternative digital music distribution solution to the bigger players like the Orchard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London based company Digital Stores Limited has been building online shops for various high profile clients for the best part of a decade (they were incorporated in \u201997), and have put up their own record shop, selling both digital and physical releases.
