Stranger Than Paradise Records

About Stranger Than Paradise Records

Stranger Than Paradise is a small independent record shop inside Mare Street Market in Hackney, east London. It was founded by three friends and is named after Jim Jarmusch's 1984 film, which the shop admires for doing so much with so little. That suits the shop: a tightly chosen selection of the best new releases and reissues across genres and eras, picked by people who obviously care about them. The idea, in its own words, is to capture what makes a great record shop, from careful curation and friendly staff to the feeling that you might walk out with something you'll treasure. The shop also runs DJ sets at the market, ships worldwide and offers click and collect.
