Kingbee Records

Kingbee Records has traded in Chorlton since 1987, specialising in new and used records and CDs. At 519 Wilbraham Road, its substantial collection ranges from 1950s singles, beat groups and garage rock to blues, folk, progressive rock, krautrock, metal, punk, hip-hop, house and other dance styles. Scarce records and collectable compact discs are a significant part of its stock.

Its official website makes clear that online listings represent only a small fraction of the much larger shop selection, which changes continually. Kingbee buys individual records and collections, and offers a listening deck in store. The shop is therefore especially well suited to collectors who want to spend time looking through changing second-hand stock rather than relying on online availability alone.

Visit: 519 Wilbraham Road, Chorlton, Manchester, Greater Manchester M21 0UF. Published hours: Monday–Saturday, 10am–5pm. Official shop information.
