Ignite Record store

This shop is in a beautiful arcade at No.14. I missed it first time I walked through because there are 2 shops in one and it looked like a Warhammer vendor. Lots of reasonably priced new vinyl here which is arranged in alphabetical order unless it isn't. However, the owner knows exactly where everything is if you are looking for something specific.

As others have said here, Rich is an absolute stalwart legend of Brum music and record culture. He’s always friendly, curious, and more than willing and able to recommend music based on the most esoteric tastes. His store may be small, but it’s perfectly formed and he does some amazing deals too. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Long may he remain.

My First stop in independent record stores, one thing I rate highly is the owner and his ethos of selling brand new records which is a rarity in indie record stores. His prices are always fair and he knows what is hot even from small bands, he's usually either got it on order or already in and does his absolute best to get records in he hasn't got in stock. STRONGLY RECCOMEND a visit!

Rich is an absolute legend. He will do everything in his power to get you whatever Vynil you are after. He is also so knowledgeable when it comes to music, he can recommend records based off your taste and the prices are the cheapest I've seen. I will go to no-one else for my records!

Ignite is exactly what a proper indie record store should be about. Not only does it always have a fantastic selection (including many titles you won't find elsewhere), but Rich always remembers what records you bought before (or finds out what you're into if it's your first time shopping there) and then makes recommendations based on that. I've discovered some great new music as a result. This personal touch makes all the difference, in my view. He's currently between premises at the moment following the sad closure of the Oasis, but he's still doing mail order, and once he's sorted with new premises (hopefully very soon!), I would absolutely recommend popping in, whatever your musical tastes.

Superb selection of indie records including some rare gems hard to find elsewhere. Prices are very competitive and customer service is superb. The current (temp?) location in the Great Western Arcade allows for lots of crate digging activities due to great layout. Highly recommend for vinyl music lovers!

First stop for any records my husband and I need. I love Rich’s attention to detail. As a regular he knows exactly what we are looking for when we visit and always tells us about new stock he has we might be interested in. Top guy! So friendly and have added many to our collection from him. Great range of records from all genres too.
