Please could you recommend online retailers for both vinyl and CDs.
Amazon seem to be selling less and less and I’ve had some issues with quality which may be due to carrier or manufacturer.
HMV seem to want me to take out a new mortgage before buying some releases.
I’m aware of Discogs and eBay but I’m looking for somewhere where the pricing and experience are good.
Google searches are not seeming to find what I need.
Many thanks.

What Records in Nuneaton are pretty good. Colour scheme on the website looks a lot like HMV but they are nothing to do with them.

For second hand vinyl you won’t go far wrong with Atlas Records, all records are graded, cleaned and sent well packaged with a new good quality record sleeve.

Also, more artists are selling their CD, vinyl and downloads via their own websites.

That’s a good point, I buy a lot direct from the artist on Bandcamp.

Or their record company. I usually buy from record companies. You may hope to get the best price (kind of…)

I’ve bought from Bandcamp. Direct to record companies is new to me.
Looks like I have missed a shift from Amazon and the like to direct sales.

All UK-based.
Grey and Pink in Chester is great for used records only (no online sales)
Tasty records in Altringham sell new and used and sell online and shop.
Juno is an online new records-only supplier with good service and reasonable prices compared to others.

Flashback and Juno are worth considering.
Had a terrible experience with EIL. Never again.
