Thanks for all those of you who stopped by for the shop's 21st birthday last week, hold tight for the next 21 years!!

A Taster of What's New in Store...


New Lady Gaga arrived last week, 'Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, Mayhem marks a triumphant return to Gaga’s pop roots. The album explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal.'

Double blue LP or CD available


On his new album Wasteland, Jim Ghedi has created something huge. Intense, brooding, bold, at times apocalyptic, and remarkably vast. A profoundly bold sonic statement that is some of the most rich, far-reaching and ambitious work that Ghedi has created to date - pushing the boundaries of what folk music can be in 2025.]

Twenty years after its original release, Kool Keith’s very own mixtape The Personal Album is finally making its debut on vinyl. Originally only available on CD, this one-of-a-kind mixtape is a deep dive into the eccentric mind of one of hip-hop’s most enigmatic figures. Known for his outlandish alter egos and boundary-pushing lyrics, Kool Keith delivers his trademark extravaganza of sexual and erotic innuendos, surreal storytelling, and unfiltered rawness that makes this album an essential piece of his discography.


'Moonlight Concessions goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements. The album follows their acclaimed Sun Racket from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery.

Produced by Kristin Hersh at Steve Rizzo's Stable Sound Studio in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Moonlight Concessions is a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large'

'Big Crown Records is proud to present Derya Yıldırım and Grup Şimşek’s latest album Yarın Yoksa. The show stopping intensity of Derya backed by the psychedelic soul of Grup Şimşek with production by Leon Michels has yielded a stand out record that challenges genre with a broad appeal and a powerful message.'

Return from one of our favourites Little Simz. A boundary-breaking musician and cultural curator, recognised as one of the UK’s most captivating and visionary artists. A multi-award winner - collecting Brit Awards, MOBOs, and an Ivor Novello - across mixtapes, EPs, and five critically acclaimed albums, Simz’s music documents her story, her journey, her becoming - and in turn, her generation.

This summer, Little Simz returns with her 6th 'Lotus'.. The record marks an exciting new chapter in her artistic journey, drawing from an expansive palette of musical influences including punk, jazz, afrobeat and more. True to form, Simz continues to push boundaries and defy genre constraints, creating a sound that's both innovative and distinctly her own.


Renowned folk singer-songwriter Kate Rusby returns with her first studio album (excluding seasonal titles) in six years.

Leading the album is the poignant first single, "Let Your Light Shine". A heartfelt message to her teenage daughters. With its inspiring lyrics and Kate's golden vocals, it is destined to become a standout moment in her catalogue.

The single 'Let Your Light Shine' will have an exclusive first play on Mark Radcliffe's BBC Radio 2 Folk Show show (9pm-10pm), Wednesday 19th March.
