“If you can’t get it at Adrians….you probably won’t get it anywhere!” We are an independent record store owned by Adrian Rondeau in Wickford, Essex. Adrian began trading in records in 1969 at various markets around Essex before moving into premises above Wickford market. Soon after with the business growing rapidly Adrians moved into larger premises in Wickford High Street in 1980 which the business still occupies to this day. By the late 1980’s Adrians was the largest independent record store in the U.K. From the earliest days of the business Adrians has also run a specialist mail order business, shipping records to all four corners of the globe. In the pre-internet days we produced a yearly catalogue along with quarterly newsletters which were must have’s for record collectors across the world. Over the years we have had many special guests visit us in store including Donny Osmond, Kenny Thomas, Amazulu, Paul King, Alvin Stardust & Vince Clarke. In October 2005 we staged an in store appearance by McFly which brought over 4000 people in Wickford High Street and forced the local Police to close the High Street, Ooops! However it was a great fun day, enjoyed by all those […]

We are a family business which was opened by Peter Driscoll in 1977 at 55 Elm Road – hence the reason it was called Fives. We had to move to new premises on the Broadway about 18 months later because it took off and we desperately needed more space. Soon after, a second branch was set up in Rayleigh which Sandra (Peter’s daughter), fresh out of school, was running. It thrived for 25 years before closing in September 2006 with the owner Peter going into semi-retirement. In October 2007 we celebrated our 30th year and Mcfly popped in for a special CD signing session, before heading to the Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff, for their much anticipated concert. We used to have a lot of bands come in and do signings. We’ve had Billy Bragg, Donny Osmond and Snowy White down here and more recently the Horrors and even a mini concert by the Rumble Strips in front of the counter. Recently Wilko Johnson the legendary guitarist of the band Dr Feelgood dropped in to do an in store signing and meet the fans on the release day of his new album `going back home’ on 24-3-2014 On Record Store Day we […]
