About Us


Who is action records?

Action Records has been established since 1979, starting off on a stall in Blackpool just as the independent music scene was emerging. From there we soon opened a site in Preston, where we have been ever since, continually expanding into a main shop with a warehouse behind.

We are members of The Chain With No Name, The Knowledge, The Network and other specialist chains, therefore we are offered all limited editions and special offers. We have always been at the forefront of music trends throughout the years, and we've also established our own record label, releasing records by bands such as The Boo Radleys, Dandelion Adventure, Big Red Bus, Genocides, Tompaulin, Fi-Lo Radio, Monkey Steals The Drum amongst others.
Our biggest project so far has been with The Fall and Mark E Smith as a solo performer.

The shops are open 10.00am till 5.30pm Mon-Sat, including bank holidays. We have a 24 hr fax line and our on-line service which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike most mail order advertisers, visitors to our shop are always welcome.
