HAPPY BIRTHDAY to shop founder John 'Man' Weaver, who would have been 73 today!
Since it's also my birthday, all customers are warned, the shop police are out in force - mention Argyle Street and you'll wind up shoved into a 7" paper sleeve and displayed for 10p!

1% discount if you bring in a cake!

We are delighted announce that we shall be merging with Grey & Pink Records of Chester to form the world's biggest record shop - The Barry Manilow Emporium. Mr Manilow's section alone is projected to cover three square miles, and all customers are required to touch Barry's golden shrine upon entry.

MISSING PERSON ALERT - staff are extremely concerned to report the disappearance of Laura Nyro, who appears to have been so bored with life, she's wandered off out of her album cover and gone for a walk. If found, please return to:

Skeleton Records
11a Not-Argyle-Street
Birkenhead

Lord Weaver's personal copy of 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' has returned to the shop after circa 55 years! In typical John fashion, it's a very rare stereo first pressing, which he's equally typically defaced by writing his name on the back cover...

Three years since the passing of John 'Man' Weaver, shop founder and marshall of the 10p section.

We hope he's having a great time; he's no doubt currently filing Jesus' jazz LPs into four separate alphabets, just to make them 'burglarproof.'

RIP John.

OPEN for yet another year of trading! Our first customer of the year is quite literally frozen to the spot at just how good our prices are! Steady on, Eric...

New Yachts LP - we're delighted to have a limited number of copies in stock, with thanks to Henry Priestman. £27.99, comes with a free CD; once they're gone, they're gone!

Sold but too much fun not to share: a mint 'So Far' by Faust, complete with inserts, strange noises and a hint of knockwurst sausage!

Half Man Half Biscuit restock - we have Achtung Bono back on CD for the first time in ages! Plus some other bits - vinyl and CD.

A shop favourite - a black and gold mono first pressing! Well played but still sounds great.

(I've got four mint ones at home - don't tell my mum)

GIFT VOUCHERS - annual reminder that yes, we do indeed wield such weapons of luxury! Treat your family, friends, enemies and the mutually ambivalent to a browse through out highly esteemed 10p singles section with a voucher this December. Any amount welcome - we'll happily make you a 25p one 👍

BARRY here has had a particular rough weekend - his long-term girlfriend Irene finished with him on account of his serial infidelity! He woke up in a ditch at the side of the M62 this morning, after a two day laughing gas and fairy liquid bender. DON'T be like Barry - he's a poor role model!

STAFF PICK of the week - this classic is back in stock after a long absence!

Available on vinyl, CD, or we'll happily hum it down yer ear 'oles if you ask nicely 🤎
