We have exciting news to announce. We will be opening our first record shop. It has been our ambition since we started this venture, and the opportunity to be close to home was too good to turn down. We will be based in Unit 9 on Inglenook Farm, Rainford, just off the Bypass.

We’re set up and ready for our first pop up stall at Jesstival. Come and down and see some great bands and say hello. It’s a ticketed event. You can pay at the ‘door’. #sunflowerrecords #vinyl #therainfordjunction #jesstival #popuprecordstall

As a payday and bank holiday weekend special, we have 10% off all in-stock items. The offer is available from May 1st to midnight on May 4th. #sunflowerrecords #mayday #10percentoff

It’s good to come home to a package like this. The new issue of #zeroplan the fanzine for @alandunn67.bsky.social project that lovingly re-homes copies of Paul Young’s No Parlez.

Sign up for our soon to be launched mailing list. New releases and exciting news coming soon.

The new Boards of Canada song Tape 05 is one of the best things I’ve heard this year. Hearing it inspired me to take this off the shelf. This is their last album from 2013 and a new release has long been overdue. #boardsofcanada #tape05 #tomorrowsharvest

I was a bit slow on the uptake this morning as to why Deansgate station is now Olivia Deansgate station. The penny dropped once I’d reached Piccadilly. Confirmation, I’m not down with the kids, slow on the uptake, baffled by cryptic marketing, or all three. #oliviadean #oliviadeansgate #manchester

This has been streaming since November, but the physical release came out earlier this month. It already feels like one of the albums of the year. Cabin in the Sky is a poignant and uplifting release from De La Soul. It pays tribute to the legacy of Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur.

Looking forward to seeing @suede tonight in Liverpool. Their album launch show last year showed a band on the top of their game. ‘Antidepressants’ was one of the great albums of 2025. We have copies in stock, we also have copies of the classic ‘Dog Man Star’. 10% off with our launch offer.

Back in the days when the music industry had taping your own records to worry about. Fast forward to the days of streaming and downloads #hometapingiskillingmusic

Cleaning records for our next Record Fair on Sunday. I forgot I had this, The Style Council's Café Bleu. A deluxe reissue was due out last Friday, but it was pulled, not before some arrived at record sellers. The record label made a mistake with the tracklisting. The release is delayed until May.

Packaging up our first orders, ready to be dropped off at the post office in the morning. Thanks for the orders, follows, and words of encouragement. The launch offer lasts until the end of February. There’s 10% of all orders. A free bag of sunflower seeds too. New stock will be added soon.

We've been a bit quiet of late, tinkering away, getting the website sorted (and chasing after two adorable Labrador puppies). We are finally ready to launch our website next Friday, 30th January 2026. By way of a preview, here's how it's looking so far.

We’ve had a couple of additions to the team over Christmas. They are taking a leisurely approach to it all. Say hello to Woody and Sonny. #labradors #puppy #doglovers #vinyl

Our Albums of the Year 2025: More, Twilight Override, Public Works & Utilities, Loner, Never Enough, Getting Killed, Weirdo, Now Would Be A Good Time, Service Station at the end of the World, EURO-COUNTRY, Paul Weller Presents That Sweet Soul Music. Happy New Year to all our followers.

After our launch in November we’re looking forward to getting going fully in 2026. Watch this space. In the meantime, to all our followers we hope that you have a Merry Christmas and New Year. #happychristmas #itsclichedtobecynicalatchristmas #newyear

A new release and something of a lost classic. Joanna’s never-been-released album sat in a Manchester apartment loft for 35 years and has finally been released. ‘Hey Flower’ was recorded at Strawberry & Pentagon Studios. There is much to like about the album. It evokes the Madchester vibe so well.

New releases from Nick Heyward, on CD, The Epic and Creation Years (1993-1998). On vinyl for the first time, Tangled, The Apple Bed and From Monday to Sunday. #nickheyward #haircut100 #tangled #theapplebed #frommondaytosunday #theepicandcreationyears #aharddaysnick youtube.com/shorts/evoyE...

It’s that time of year again. Apple Corps have raided the vaults for their (now) annual trawl through the archives to unearth treasures from The Beatles’ back catalogue. The Beatles Anthology has been updated, remastered and extended to a fourth disc, and it was released today.
