A narrow storefront with a bold yellow sign identifies Piccadilly Records, a shop that has occupied this space in the Northern Quarter since nineteen seventy-eight. While many record stores faded as digital music took hold, this shop stayed open by evolving its stock to match the specific, often eccentric, tastes of Manchester musicians and local crate-diggers. When the Smiths were a local band, Johnny Marr famously spent his afternoons browsing these racks, searching for obscure imports that shaped his signature guitar sound.
