Missing Records

Este sitio me encantó!!
Estábamos andando por el centro de Glasgow, por la zona de la estación central y justo debajo de ella hay como rollo una calle con tiendas al estilo de galerías. Una de ellas es esta tienda de discos, películas, libros, revistas y artículos de coleccionistas de música y de fútbol.
Nosotros fuimos directamente a la zona de vinilos y de segunda mano y había joyas la verdad. Me encantó, lo malo es que me prohibí comprar vinilos a no ser que fuese realmente una joya my barata, algo en plan ganga total. Porque sino me gasto un montón de dinero y no me entran más en casa jajajaja.
Me encanta el ambiente de las tiendas de disco, sobre todo la zona de segunda mano, qué tendrá que me llamen tanto la atención? Supongo que intentar saber de quiénes fueron y cómo han llegado hasta allí. Además en Inglaterra tienen un amor hacia la música y un cultura increíble.

I forgot this place was here. Just hard to notice as all the signs under the bridge are green. I nipped in today for a wee look.
Still a great place. Still loads of people come here. And great for finding a cheap bargain along with cd’s that you can’t find anymore. Be prepared to dig in, but it’s worth it.

A great wee place that buys & sells used CD’s, DVD’s & Blu-​rays. Despite its small size it always seems busy & have a great selection of items if your willing to take the time to have a look from the wall to wall of stock.

SSSHHH — it’s a secret.
It shouldn’t be, though. Missing is tucked away under the so-​called umbrella underneath the train station, and is a hidden gem in this small, polluted corner of the city.
Selling used DVDs, CDs and vinyl, you never know what you’ll get — it’s a mixed bag. What you will get, however, is variety — never the same thing twice — and ridiculously cheap prices.
It’s a fairly small space so stock is crammed in, but that’s all part of the fun. As eclectic as the range is it’s easy enough to navigate, and if you need assistance staff will gladly help you.
There used to be tons of music stores in the city centre, but they have all been quashed by the recession and HMV chain. For independence, you are now looking to the (recently renamed) Avalanche, Mono and Missing. This, I think, is the last survivor of what was once a great and well respected chain around the city, and I’m glad this store lives on in this corner of the world.

Perhaps it’s because I remember the glory days of Missing that I found myself a tad underwhelmed by its Argyle Street incarnation.
Nestled inconspicuously under the Heileman’s Umbrella, the music shop epitomises the downturn suffered by the industry in the wake of downloading music.
Of course I understand the appeal of second hand record and DVD stores, yet somehow this place just feels cluttered and tired with very little of interest on offer.
Perhaps I caught it on a bad day, but despite being in here for half an hour, it seemed that needles would be found in haystacks quicker than hidden gems would be uncovered here.
Given once upon a time Missing was at the forefront of the Glasgow record shop scene, I’m glad it still exists in some capacity within the city. However whether or not I’ll be a regular visitor depends very much on the level of improvement in stock over the coming months.

You can find some decent second hand DVD’s and CD’s in here, along with a modest selection of vinyl.
There’s a good selection of boxed sets as well.
The items range from new and shiny to old and not so shiny.
You can trade in your own items here of course, that’s how the place operates.
When I went last summer with a huge pile of CD’s, I didn’t get as much cash for it as I would have liked. It’s a valid option though, given the bizarre zero pounds delivery fiasco on Ebay when selling DVD’s and CD’s.
Worth a look.

Missing touts itself as an alternative music store, however it is basically just a second hand car boot sale style music store that sells off the unwanted middle of the road music from any given genre.
The organisation of CDs here is awful when looking for something in particular. Although there is a rough A to Z grouping order, there are piles of CDs scattered all around the shop in no order at all. Terribly frustrating if you’re on the look out for something specific.
Customers can exchange their old CDs and DVDs for cash, or trade them in for «new» ones, however this very much depends on the mood of the cashier and the CDs in question.
There are a few hidden gems in here, amongst the piles of dusty old embarrassing albums, however you have to be willing to rummage.

Missing Records has been bouncing about the streets of Glasgow for years: it once boasted two premises near the train station, and was a brighter, breezier shop with magazines and all sorts of extras. Theses days, it does a roaring trade in second hand CDs, games and DVDs, staying open as the pubs start to fill and blasting alternative rock into the street.
Somehow, it has that old fashioned record shop vibe: I always end up digging in the bargain bins, trying to guess what the band might sound like from the sleeve, and parting with very little cash for something I am sure no-​one will have. On balance, I have done well from them: strange looking but very enjoyable European rock, a bit of obscure electronica.
As a hoarder, I haven’t ever sold any of my CDs to Missing, but it is not surprising that they have kept this side of the business going, even as they abandon new stock. MP3s might be taking over, the net might have killed Zavvi, but only shops like this can recall the thrill of finding something unknown.

Unmissable for a good rummage around, Missing stocks CDs DVDs vinyl and games, and if you have the time to rake then you’ll most likely find a bargain or two. They will also give you cash or trade in on your old DVDs, CDs etc so it’s a great way to get rid of unwanted christmas presents.
It’s always good to see little shops like thias doing well so bypass HMV to give Missing a visit.

Missing is a very popular music and dvd shop, ususally blasting music out onto the street, probably to compensate for its small façade, something you would otherwise miss. You can trade your cd’s in here and have a rummage about for a bargain.
The shop is absolutely packed and you will always find something interesting. There is a wide selection of vinyl, mostly by artists I’ve never even heard of — the staff seem to know it all, though and seem to enjoy their work.

Small shop but absolutely full of DVD’s /​CD’s /​vinyl and I’m sure I’ve spotted cassette tapes in there before too!
You really do need to spend a lot of time in here looking through every thing to see what special finds you can come across. Bargains and those items you’ve always wanted but never could find can be found here. You can also trade in your old CD’s etc here. Friendly staff.

Missing is well woth a visit, but make sure you have plenty of time, the shop is jam packed with records cds and dvds. Just heard last week that they are going to open their basement, and more than double the size of the shop. cant wait!!! Keep it up missing!

Missing is usually jam packed full of records, CDs and DVDs — some quite rare and hard to find. It’s a good place to find that rare vinyl preessing, or an out of issue CD. It’s a shame there’s not more stores like this one. There used to be 3 or 4 branches of Missing in Glasgow back in the day befor eBay came along, but there doesn’t seem to be a demand for second hand music, aside from charity shops and places like Oxfam music. A great place for real music or film buffs.

Staff are always more than happy to help you out, with a huge range of records you can’t seem to find anywhere else and at dirt cheap prices.
Worth a look if your looking for something hard to find or a bargin.

Records, cds and dvds– Missing stock a wide variety of genre. The staff have a great knowledge of films and music and are always happy to help you find what you’re looking for.
