The shop looks like a dump… yes.
The stuff they sell? They have an amazing collection of great jazz and soul (and more) And, not crazy on the prizes…
One thing? The sound system is amazingly bad. Soooo horrible.
This is: Vintage Vinyl Walhalla!
We like!

Run by a grotesquely rude misogynist with no apparent affinity to music, creativity or anything of the kind… speaking as a one-time visitor who had the displeasure of being a target for no good reason. How did it happen?
I just feel sorry for the staff…

This place is a real gem. If you like to spend hours flipping through records, then this friendly shop on Essex road is the place. Go in with an open mind and you’ll come out with your arms full. I’ve done well in reggae and punk in particular, but there is a lot of variety. I got a used copy of the Harder They Come, and the girl behind the counter threw it on the turntable to make sure it played well, and we ended up listening to a whole side of the record before I left– it is almost too easy to kill time here.

Haggle Vinyl has a good chunk of 2^nd hand records all over the floor. They’re priced at £2 each, but probably can be haggled although the one day I was too sick to try. You can dig for hours here too and listen all you want with the turntable. It’s a bit of a shame that the lady behind the counter isn’t terribly friendly. But I suppose that’s because she probably counters your haggles pretty well.

Haggle Vinyl is a really cool vinyl store on Essex Road. It’s got sooooo many records, you really need to set aside a couple of hours to look through them all!
With a great range of records, genres and time periods, you’re sure to find a little gem here somewhere! Cool staff and the records are pretty reasonably priced too. Great place to buy a gift for a vinyl lover!

Haggle Vinyl is a proper vinyl record shop. And there’s not many of them around (most do CDs too).
It is on the Essex Road, and so is easy to get to from Islington. Inside, you’ll be overwhelmed by the sheer number and variety of records on display. I say display, but the lack of organisation here is such that you are looking at more of an organised pile, than a display as such. All part of the fun, of course.

Whilst I still do not have a record player, I’ve decided to get one as soon as possible and as a result have begun looking around for good record shops. I was around Islington the other day to take some photos for this site and so I came in and had a look at Haggle Vinyl; which is a little way up Essex Road.
The shop itself isn’t particularly big but is absolutely choc full of stuff. There is an incredible range in terms of time periods and genres. Within this variety there is a wonderful amount of esoterica, and as such this shop deserves particular attention.

Oh my days, this is such a treat. What a treasure trove of old music. If you int got a record player, get one. Just to come here and browse their stuff, it’s really special…
Basically, they’ve got hundred and hundreds of records. Hundreds. And they span entire genres, decades and crazy little one-offs. You should spend hours here, I’ve found some amazing albums.
Obviously, Haggle Vinyl is mainly populated by old-skool obsessives, gentle old men who really feel for their music, and, just nice people. It’s like a library, but for music. And cause it’s old vinyl, there’s some really cheap stuff. So a gorgeous shop, stocked with some of the most gorgeous products in London. Really, if you want some vinyl, come here…

One of a dying breed of second hand record shops left in London. This one will probably go the same way, if the owner is to be believed, and i’m not really surprised.
They do stock a lot of different styles of music but their music knowledge seems to have stopped in about 1995. There is never any records from past this period in the sorted racked. Because of this you can find some bargains in the hundreds of £2 piles underneath the racks — that’s if you can be bothered to sort through them all and don’t mind sitting on the floor for a couple of hours.
If you combined this shop with Flashback’s knowledge (a few doors down) you would have a great record shop.
If you’re looking for rare records from before 1995 though they are excellent — you can normally pick them up for a decent price. And as the name says you can always haggle the price down as well.

This shop is selling vinyls of any type of music, movie’s soundtrack, jazz, rock, disco, motown everything about music.
You can’t miss it as the outside is purple and there are boxes on the ground with a lot of vynils at £1 only ! I found a Bruce Springsteen very rare in there !
There are more records than space in the shop and if you don’t want to search your vinyl go directly to the till, they’ll be happy to help and they’ll tell you directly if they have what you are looking for.
Prices in there are also very attractive and in good condition too. The staff as I said is nice and they’ve got also a lot of stories to tell you about if you have time of course.
I like to go and surprise myself by bringing one famous or unknown artist at home.
