Wrecking Ball Music and Books is an independent retail outlet that sells new and used vinyl, the entire Wrecking Ball Press catalogue and an extensive range of books from independent publishers. You can also purchase music and book related merchandise and gig tickets from us.
Our mission is to place the perfect vinyl and books into the hands of music lovers and readers. We appreciate the tactile and tangible feel of books and records, the best words on the page and the unique sound of vinyl.
We stock an extensive range of books and vinyl crossing all genres and we specialise in items not normally found in high street chains. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can offer advice and also track down rare items for you. In-store events include readings, appearances by musicians and authors, as well as book and record signings.
The independent retail outlet is a joint venture between Wrecking Ball Press founder, book lover and music fan Shane Rhodes and concert promoter and music junkie Gary Marks. The success of the enterprise is down to the decades of business experience, enthusiasm and knowledge of both partners.

Bookshop has created an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support independent bookshops at the same time. By purchasing your books from the Wrecking Ball Music & Books bookshop.org shop, you will be supporting us, as we will receive a percentage of the cover price.
