Welcome to Dream Street Records

A warm welcome to our joy-fuelled celebration of pop music, personal archives and queer nostalgia. 

We sell new and used vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, DVDs, magazines, books, gifts and games – both online and from our shop in the heart of Brighton's North Laine.

Our curated selection of new vinyl includes a mix of pop bestsellers, queer pioneers and timeless albums spanning six decades. 

Dream Street Records leans into the idea that our music collections are like our personal archives, and 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. We’ll also be celebrating the particular, sometimes life-saving significance of pop for generations of LGBTQ+ people. 

UK-wide delivery

Much of our stock is available to buy online, and you can save the delivery charge by opting to collect in-store. More items are being added every week, so keep checking back.

We deliver throughout the UK through Shopify's shipping partners Yodel (standard) and Royal Mail (Tracked 24). 

We also offer free local delivery with no minimum order for customers in BN1, BN2 or BN3 postcodes who are disabled or chronically ill and unable to come to the shop.
