Hello everyone. How are you all? Well I hope. It's been a little while since the last newsletter and it's safe to say that there's been a lot happening. For one thing, our little shop is no longer the only record shop in Carshalton, as we have now been joined by our good friends Looking For The Magic, who have moved from Sutton to a new shop in Beynon Road, in the 'West End'. It's already had the effect that people are travelling to Carshalton because there are now two record shops, as well as all the great pubs in town (village?). To further enhance our status as vinyl central in the area, we're co-organising a record fair, which is planned for March 7th 2026, and, as far as I'm aware will be the first Carshalton has ever had, although I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that. 

On to new release news now. Incoming over the next 2 or 3 weeks we have some really exciting new albums, all of which are pictured below. A rich and varied mix it is too, with two film scores - Ron Geesin's 'Ghost Story' and James Stevens' 'They Came From Beyond Space', a triumphant Garage-rock return from Thee Headcoatees with 'Man-Trap', Tim Hill's stark and atmospheric ambient work 'Leviathan Whispers' and the wonderfully effervescent and evocative 'Holy Island, from Alabama dream pop/ shoegaze duo Sister Ray Davies.
