WHAT WE LOVE

Flashback Records has three London stores in Islington, Shoreditch and Crouch End offering new and used vinyl, CDs, cassette tapes, books and collectibles. Founded in 1997 by Mark Burgess who opened the first store in Islington followed by the Crouch End and Shoreditch stores in 2006 and 2014 respectively.

Flashback Records buy and trade used vinyl and CDs, and ship worldwide.

"The Islington branch was set up in 1997 on two floors in a parade set back a little from Essex Road. The ground floor has a wide selection of New Vinyl, CDs and DVDs, whilst the basement is a well-organised treasure trove of second-hand and collectors vinyl - a crate digger's paradise."
