Joy, music & queer nostalgia
Dream Street Records is a joy-fuelled celebration of pop music.
We sell new and used vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, magazines, gifts and games – both online, and from our shop in the heart of Brighton's North Laine.
Dream Street Records leans into the idea of our music collections as our personal archives: that we can tell the stories of our lives through the songs, albums and artists we hold dear.
We'll be looking back at pop history from the 1950s to the present day through a multiplicity of lenses, and we'll celebrate the significant, sometimes life-saving role that pop has played for generations of LGBTQ+ people.
UK-wide delivery
All of our stock will be listed on this website, which includes a curated list of new vinyl – current releases, queer classics, soundtracks, timeless pop, rock, soul and R&B – alongside our pre-loved selection, which includes collectables from Kate Bush, The Smiths, The Who and many more. We're adding products all the time, so keep checking back.
We deliver throughout the UK through Shopify's shipping partners Yodel (standard) and DPD (next day). If you're local to Brighton & Hove, you can save the delivery charge, and collect in-store. We also offer free local delivery with no minimum order for customers in BN1, BN2 or BN3 postcodes who are disabled, chronically ill or unable to come to the shop.
