THE 25 RECORD SHOPS
Glasgow is still Scotland's dance-music engine.
Glasgow's record scene runs on the same fuel as its clubs. Rubadub on Howard Street has been the UK's reference dance-music shop for thirty years. Monorail Music in the Merchant City covers indie, punk, folk and the wider spectrum. Missing, Mixed Up, LP Records and Love Music fill in around.
The city is compact — half a day on foot covers the essentials. The strength is house, techno, disco, and a serious second-hand Scottish rock and folk catalogue. Sub Club and Berkeley Suite still anchor the after-hours listening.
THE FIVE ROOMS
35 Howard St. The UK's essential dance-music counter — house, techno, disco, dubstep. Global-scale curation from a Glasgow room.
The Stephen Pastel-run shop inside Mono. Indie, folk, jazz, experimental — the taste-maker's counter.
Big second-hand generalist — the Glasgow crate-diggers' anchor for rock, prog, soul.
Long-running collector shop — deep second-hand, first pressings, rarities.
Curated new-and-used — indie, punk, hip-hop, reggae. The friendliest introduction to the city.
