About Us
The Record Album
This year The Record Album celebrates 70 years of serving the record-buying public of Brighton and beyond. The shop, which opened in 1948, sells all kinds of music from pop to classical but it specialises in soundtracks, cinema and theatre. It was recently described in Garth Cartwright’s new chronicle of the UK record shop, Going For a Song, as “as Europe’s foremost soundtrack shop”.
Once curated by the legendary George Ginn, who has just retired at 88, the shop has passed to new owners, Keith Blackmore and David Chappell, who are determined to keep up its traditions for lovingly cared for records of all varieties. And the shop is now open seven days a week.

Perched above Brighton Station, The Record Album is at once an anachronism and ultramodern...a treasure chest for the odd, the obscure, the marginal and, obviously, the movies. Inside The Record Album, I feel as if I'm in an exotic locale, some fantastic place. A sensation the best record shops have always inspired.
