Advantages: Great range, bargains to be had if you know where to look

Disadvantages: Mainstream stores are not really musically focused

Chester has a few shops for those with musical interests. On the main street you have Zavvi (the old Virgin Megastore) and just a couple of doors down you have HMV. Both of these stock the obvious items and cater for most people but seem to have shifted their focus away from music and towards DVD's, moving most of their music stock upstairs. If your looking for something reasonably mainstream then these 2 stores should see you through. For more obscure and hard to find items head little out of town and go into Grey and Pink on Brook Street. This small independent retailler has a great collection of vinyls and CD's as well as old magazines, programmes and other promotional items. You may find yourself lost in this place for hours on end digging through the vinyls - as I have many a time. The amazing range of music of every genre may overface some but do not be put off. The chaps who work here seem to know everything there is to know about all types of music and are only too happy to point you in the right direction. After visiting a couple of times and chatting about my musical taste the guys started to put things to one side that have interested me and I've picked up some great finds. Pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Something for everybody, especially in Grey and Pink
