RECKLESS RECORDS CLOSURE

Sadly we have to announce that Reckless Records has had to close down and has gone into liquidation after 24 years. The business of dealing in secondhand records and compact discs has become more and more difficult due to lots of factors, particularly the growth of internet trading, both at new and secondhand levels, and the impossibility of trying to keep abreast of falling prices in High Street stores and online retailers. The business affairs of Reckless Records are being dealt with by a liquidation company: there's unlikely to be a resurrection.

So regrettably it's goodbye from all of us at Reckless. There were lots of good times, but they've gone and it doesn't look promising for similar businesses.

Thanks and goodbye from all of us........

This is quite sad. No record-buying visit to central London will ever be the same again
