The Sound Machine

Having traded since 1990, The Sound Machine is Reading’s longest running independent record shop trading in vinyl, CDs and memorabilia. Having expanded the shop over time to its current size within the Harris Arcade, they buy and sell a huge range of items from a variety of genres, including rock, pop, jazz, punk, classical, soul and reggae. Memorabilia sold includes autographs, gig posters, magazines and programmes. They have a clientèle from across the country, and so their ever-changing stock always contains the very best items Britain has to offer.
