Brigadoon
Records is a new
venture from Robin Wills and Luke Harris.
Robin and Luke have been friends
for over 40 years, sharing a passion for rock n roll music, obscure records, horror
movies and other strange emissions from the cultural underbelly.
Having spent
decades accumulating giant collections of records, books and other ephemera, the
time has now come to start making some of these treasures available to others
The subject
of a 1947 Broadway musical and later a 1954 Hollywood musical with Gene Kelley
and Cyd Charisse, Brigadoon is an enchanted village in the Scottish
Highlands that only appears once every hundred years. Invisible to the outside
world, time stands still for those fortunate enough to visit this magical
place.
In our case,
Brigadoon Records will materialize more often than every century. Whether
it be as a pop-up store in different London locations, at record fairs, markets
or gigs, it is expected to become a monthly event, announced around 4 to 6
weeks ahead of each incarnation.
Brigadoon is conceived as more than just a
record shop. We hope to offer books,
posters, music ephemera, original art, and whatever cool and unusual things we
can excavate from the depths of our collections. Ideally it will become a destination for like-minded
misfits to come and discuss mutual obsessions.
Robin and
Luke are both selling individually under the common Brigadoon umbrella
Robin will primarily focus on a specially
curated selection of highly prized items covering 60s Garage, Freakbeat, Surf,
Heavy Psych and Bonehead, along with Junkshop Glam and Power pop. From hard-to-find
records that are rarer than hen’s teeth to others that are far more affordable…
Luke will present a wider variety of
records from the 50s to the present day encompassing a bit of almost everything
from jazz, country and rockabilly to punk, metal, reggae and hip hop.
Stay
tuned for more news next week...
