- Stocking a range of vinyl and CDs, the Deptford store launched over the weekend.
South London has a new record shop.
Located on Deptford High Street, Upside Down Records opened its doors last Saturday, November 18th. Run by Philippe Giron, who worked at Camberwell's Rat Records up until its closure last June, the shop stocks a wide range of vinyl and CDs spanning all genres. It's also open to buying second-hand records and hopes to sell second-hand audio equipment in the near future.
"During my time at Rat, I learned to respect and appreciate all music tastes," said Giron. "Record shops may have a reputation for being intimidating sometimes, but I believe you won't find that here. I've come to realise that there's no such thing as 'good' or 'bad' music: there's only what touches an individual's heart and soul, and what makes their feet move."
He continued: "I go out of my way to find my customers what they want, whether it's my bag or not, simple as that. I'm always amazed by the level of passion from customers, and find that to be contagious. That's why I've starting Upside Down Records, to keep my passion alive."
