Olympic Studios Records
66 Church Road, Barnes, London SW13 0DQ
We announced in May 2018 the opening,of Olympic
Studios Records, a local community vinyl record shop, which is located
diagonally opposite to the Olympic Studios.
It very successfully sells vintage and new vinyl records and celebrates the music recording history of the Olympic Studios, one of the great British
recording studios, from its opening in Barnes in 1966 until its closure in
2009.
In addition to selling iconic vintage albums, new pressings of
Olympic recorded music and albums by contemporary musicians; the shop will
provide a place for local residents to sell their vinyl collections. Staff will
advise on what titles will be most saleable, clean and repair the vinyl and its
packaging and research the optimum prices for each album.
The shop will also control and display the archive of all of the music recorded
and mixed, wholly or partly, at the Olympic Studios from 1966 – 2009, currently
a list of over 1075 albums.
Music related merchandise and signed memorabilia, is available for purchase, along with selected music related equipment. Commission
on sales made will be charged at 35% - 50%, depending on the condition and
saleability of the albums selected for sale. The store opens on Friday and Sunday afternoon 2-5 and 10-5 on Saturdays .
Any questions about collections for sale and the Olympic Studios
Record shop should be sent to the Olympic Studios’ archivist and store manager,
Roger Miles.
