Heart of a Punk - Soul of a Rasta

The Last Record Shops of England (Part One Hereford)
Muzo and Powerplay - two sides of the same coin.

Muzo Records, 20b Commercial Road, Hereford, HR1 2BD.

Just off centre in Hereford you'll find second hand vinyl aplenty, videos, cassettes, memorabilia, clothes and instruments, yep there's all kinds of stuff there - on the day I went (as you can see from the picture) they had an old Wolves shirt for sale, I guess it's still there. The shop is perhaps a bit too organised and not as bleedin horrible and dirty as a truly English record shop should be, but all the same go there before it's gone.

Powerplay, 13 Commercial St, Hereford, HR1 2DB. www.powerplaydirect.com

A short walk away from Muzo is Powerplay which is an independent shop selling brand new records! Yes vinyl, CD's, DVD's, collectors' sets, posters, games, badges etc. An independent record retailer on a city centre high street, rare as soddin hens' teeth that is! And also it's directly over the way from f**ckin HMV! There used to be a shop like Powerplay in every town in England (well sort of) go there in person today and bloody well buy something! I did.
