Hyde Park Records

This is a real beauty of a record shop only recently opened up in Headingley. It is only small but I reckon its going to become a central part of the Leeds music scene. Leeds answer to High Fidelity you could say. I imagine this place becoming a meeting ground for local musicians and fans alike.
There is an exhaustive collection of records spanning several genres and the collection is updated weekly.
Where this shop really comes into its own it’s the owner who also works in the shop everyday. His passion for music and especially local musicians is really quite commendable. I only popped in to have a quick look around and after a few minutes the guy was chatting to me like an old friend. Showing me the latest releases and special editions, not in a pushy sales way just out of genuine excitement. They also sell tickets for gig nights and local festivals, making it the perfect place to go down for a chat and find out what is happening in Leeds on the music front.
