Oxfam edinburgh

It's a charity shop but just for music, nicely done by Oxfam. They can charge a bit more than your usual charity shop but make no mistake it's organisation your paying for and the charity.

Very expensive jazz records and in very bad shape. Completely unlistenable. They sell them labelled as in excellent condition and once at home all of them were with lots of scratches, straight to the litter. Awful experience.

Great selection of second hand music, CD’s as well as vinyl. Also a very friendly and helpful staff!

Always worth a visit.

Rather poor selection of records here when I visited.

Some of the gems in my collection have come from here classic albums from Pink Floyd, New Order, Dylan, Beatles, Eddie Floyd up to more recent stuff Tori Amos, Pixies, Husker Du, Joan as Policewoman which was amazing to find in a charity shop! Fantastic finds, always worth checking out the 'just in' section.

A good place to check out you can find some nice items, I've found quite a few good records here over the years.

Truly an appalling experience, 3 staff on duty, one went out the back, one was in training I believe and another just pushed himself around the shop like a leaf blower assuming people move out of his way. They played the most inappropriate music when We were in the shop and discussed just how bad it was for 2:30 minutes before turning it off completely. I had to leave the shop as it wasn’t a calm environment, my partner put his items back and left because he simply couldn’t handle how rude the staff were. Won’t be back.

The staff/volunteer that was the shop is the most rude person I’ve ever met. Normally love having a look around in this shop. Just had to leave. Made me and my girlfriend feel very uncomfortable with his comments and the general vibe. He put me in a horrible mood after my short visit here. Would only return if I knew he wouldn’t be there. Completely ruined my view on this shop. Normally such a lovely shop. On other occasions this shop has had really good stock. Vinyl is always frequently rotated, some very good and rare finds. Staff other than the above-mentioned individual have always been very helpful. Such a same it has been ruined for myself and my girlfriend after our visit today (10th of December 2020)

The music books are priced like an actual music shop. We need music shops to survive. But surely the point of charity shopping is to get bargains. I wouldn’t recommend here for sheet music.
