Clampdown Records is an independent record shop at 9–11 Paton Street in central Manchester, on the edge of the Northern Quarter. It carries new and second-hand vinyl, CDs, DVDs, tapes, books and music memorabilia, with a particular emphasis on rock, punk, indie, funk, soul and jazz.
The shop is useful for collectors searching for older and out-of-print releases as well as current stock. It advertises rare CDs and records through its online channels, but the physical shop is worth exploring for items that may be harder to locate by title alone. Clampdown also buys vinyl, CDs, music DVDs, memorabilia and larger collections, offering cash purchases subject to its assessment.
Paton Street is near Piccadilly Gardens and within reach of other central Manchester shops, including Eastern Bloc, Vinyl Exchange and Piccadilly Records. It is a practical stop for a wider second-hand record-shopping circuit rather than a destination devoted to a single genre.
