Sifters Record Shop

Sifters Record Shop
Manchester, United Kingdom (GB)
IN 1977, Pete Howard (now known as Mr. Sifters) opened a record store using 700 of his own LPs. After multiple individuals started coming into his store and causing mayhem amongst his collection, he moved Sifters from its original location in Burnage to Fog Lane in 1983, where it’s located to this day.

The small record shop attracted a lot of attention from the locals and started to become quite popular. The store also caught the eye of 2 brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher, who used to visit Sifters in the late 1980s, years before they started making music as the band Oasis.
