Happy week before Christmas,
As we get closer to the end of the year, there aren't as many new releases but there are still some great ones now to be missed! It's a particularly strong week for hip hop with new releases from Lukah & Real Bad Man and Rakim.
If you've not picked up our Albums Of The Year Magazine yet, you can order a copy on our website or get one free with every order.
Need a last-minute present but not sure what album to buy? We do gift cards and gift vouchers which could be the perfect solution! If you're looking to really impress, we've got Rega hi-fi. We've also got some brilliant band t-shirts and Jumbo t-shirts, scarves and hats and much more!
