Planet Rock Records has been selling the very best vinyl LP’s, 12″s, 7″s and even CD’s since 1993 ! I am a passionate music junkie that has DJ’ed professionally since 1987 (eek!) with a good collection, a thirst for acquiring and spreading musical knowledge accompanied by a friendly accessible approach.
I sell via the following platforms :
1. Planet Rock Records – the Mail Order list – currently on www.discogs.com/seller/davetheruf – come place an order, we got pure tunes and give discounts on £30 plus and offer cheap postage after the first item worldwide! So wherever you are on Planet Rock – you shall have your beats!
2. PLANET ROCK RECORDS, our brand new Manchester based record shop – has just opened so please come and find us round the back of an amazing artist led original Victorian mill, at Unit 5 (round the back of, through the blue gates and round the back!) Wellington House, New Islington, Pollard Street East, Manchester, M40 7ES. Here’s a map for you, why not come and have a wrestle, haggle and a brew for your tunes! Hell you can even jump on the zippy metrolink. We are between Piccadilly Station and Manchester City’s ground.
We are open generally every Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 1 and 7pm so please send us a text to and come on down and say hello. It’s filling up with amazing records and coming together nicely. It’s great for so many of the community to be getting involved and I’m sure many amazing events, happenings, talks and playshops are going to be taking place here!
The shop has it’s own self service kitchen and is on the ground floor of an exciting fresh artist led original Victorian Mill which will be opening a new venue directly opposite our HQ! The mill is packed full of musicians, studios, artists, photographer’s, dance and circus skills and we are going to be pumping out positive vibes and sounds every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from roughly 1pm until 7pm to the Planet Rock people!!
We buy, swap and sell a huge amount of music taking in many genre’s and offer deals and discounts for regular customers, our team of record dealers, DJ’s and musicians.
We also offer a unique RECORD RECYCLING system that enables folk to get rid of or obtain cheap free vinyl. Artists will be free to come and pick up a pile of old vinyl to make into whatever they please, as long as we get a free one! So if you like old crap or our world infamous bags of shite come on down….
3. We also sell in the flesh with our pop up Planet Rock Records shop at record fairs (including Ruf Beats Record Well-Fair, occasional markets and gigs). here’s one I popped out at earlier….
4. We also distribute records as requested to other record retailers and distributors whether that’s our own Ruf Beats Music records, local artists or rare/in demand 2nd hand titles. So if you are a record dealer or shop please get in touch and let’s network for us, our artists and exciting independent music!
5. And via our amazing customers who may buy in bulk to distribute to friends and earn a cut!
So whether you’re into tropical music…
practicing your crab scratches (that’s a dj skill not a disease)
or relaxing into a dreamy musical haze
please connect with us at Planet Rock!
“to know you’re future is to know your past
through diamond on a groove the magic lasts”
