Was visiting from Lancaster and checked out RPM Music - so glad I did, one of the best record shops I've ever visited - really friendly, knowledgable staff, great prices and a wonderful selection of vinyl. I came out with some Scott Walker, Dylan and Neil Young - very happy. Will def be visiting when I'm next over - this is a great shop, the kind of place you wish you lived close to. All the best to you, Geoff

Been a few years since I was there but it's a friendly record shop. The owner, if it's still the same guy (the silver fox!) was always nice to me and even gave me discounts. Stock is pretty average second hand store fare, and not always in great condition, but still worth a visit.

Excellent shop with great range of music especially records. Very friendly and helpful staff that know their music. Always enjoy popping in for a look at what's new.

Majick! Mostly used vintage vinyl & cd’s but some choice new cuts so check all the sections for the hidden gems. The owner really knows his stuff and is wonderfully helpful with impartial advice. Don’t expect chain store prices either - RPM prices are very reasonable. Don’t miss it.

I've been to most record shops in Newcastle at this point (the only exception being Reflex records). I used to run straight to Beatdown Records, the one near Central Station, every time my pay slip went through. Recently I went to the Old George Inn, a gorgeous little gastro pub alleyway in the Bigg Market area of town, and just happened to notice RPM on my way out. As a vinyl enthusiast, I was absolutely stoked. Today was the first time I purchased anything from RPM... and for such a small shop, they've got so many good finds. Its like a bloody diamond mine! (Seriously, nowhere else in town seems to stock ELO vinyls... except for Windows, but they con you out of every penny). The staff are exceptionally helpful, and the prices are really phenomenal. Something I've noticed with many record shops in Newcastle is that they seem keen to price their records ridiculously high (as much as I love them, Beatdown are guilty of this too). RPM's prices are the best you will get for vinyls of a high quality in the town centre. For example, I've included the vinyls I bought today. Bowie - 'Let's Dance' (12inch Single) - £6.00 ELO - 'Out of the Blue' (12inch DOUBLE LP) - £10.00 Both Phil Collins LP's were £3 each. Seriously that's fantastic. I'd probably pay well over double than that anywhere else in "the toon". I also mentioned the friendliness of the staff, but it needs saying again how kind and approachable they are. To be honest, most record shops in Newcastle do have great staff and service (except for Windows in the Central Arcade, bunch of toffee nosed snobs). Like if you can't find what you're looking for in the main room of the shop, just ask a member of staff and they are happy to check in the back for you. So helpful, so charming. Spectacular. Spread the word people; RPM is categorically THE BEST place to go if you need vinyl records in Newcastle.

Excellent shop, amazing prices and fantastic staff! Always feel very welcome!

R. S.

Always a pleasure to browse and chat here. Great range of second hand titles, all well priced. If you have time properly to flick through the many racks of LPs and singles, well organised to make it easier, you're almost certain to find something to offer a new home to.

A. E.

Great place with equally great staff. Love it here as it always has a quality selection of old and new to choose from and Richy is always on hand to help.

J. M.

Very helpful people, sold a bunch of records to them. Out of the way, but friendly people.

M. R.

Great independent record shop specialising in vinyl. Celebrating 30 years in the business and still a treasure trove of rare and hard to find records. Often stocking records you won't see anywhere else. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are also music fans and happy to help find what you're after. Also stocking a range of vintage stereo equipment. Strongly recommended for any crate diggers.

C. F.

Great little shop full of good quality vinyl. I'll go back again to try and get the missing items from my collection, hopefully they'll have them!

S. S.

Love a good rummage in the vinyl and CD sections... even a small selection of audio tapes. So friendly and good banter. If you love music in all of its forms you really need to drop in next time you're in Newcastle.

Great staff, very knowledgeable and very fair with their pricing. Ill definitely come here first for my vinyl & vintage needs in future. Thank you guys.

J. F.

Excellent little record shop that specialises in vinyl worth a visit.

They're quite happy to play vinyl before you buy. It's a bit pricey but that's what you pay for a city centre shop.

P. R.

A great selection of new records. The in store stock is however limited by its small-ish floor space which can cause things to become a little cramped.

It's ok a tiny 💿 shop. A bit difficult to find because it is on tiny little back street and there's no signs to direct you to where the shop is.
