Hundred Records re-opens!

Thanks to all our loyal customers for sticking with us during the lock-down.

We’re delighted that our doors are open again. At heart we are an old-fashioned record shop and we love to see our customers face to face, so this is something we’re really happy about. We’re making it as normal as possible, but with safety in mind. We’re keeping numbers to two customers in the shop at any one time, and if you’re browsing we’ll ask you to clean your hands on the way in and out. Initially the shop’s opening hours are 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.

If you can’t make it to the shop at those times, our new webshop is open 24/7. We’ll still be offering contactless collection for those that prefer, and we can also post your music to you for a small charge. If there’s anything special you want, just let us know.

We hope to see you soon!!

Latest new releases

We kick off 17 July’s picks with JARV IS…, whose debut album, Beyond The Pale, is Jarvis Cocker’s first new music since 2009 and which was written in collaboration with live audiences, whose reactions helped the band monitor how the songs were developing. Superstars, renegades, innovators, heroes, villains and mothers The Chicks (formerly Dixie Chicks) have grown from a band into a cultural phenomenon; Gaslighter is their fifth studio album and their first new album since 2006’s Grammy Award-winning Taking The Long Way. Originally released in 1991, Tin Machine II’s reputation has only increased over the years, containing some great David Bowie songs. Uncut magazine placed the album on their list of 50 Great Lost Albums, calling it ‘extraordinary’. House Of Noise is 12 tracks of quintessentially British hard rock ’n’ roll with an energy that it’s impossible not to get swept up in, thanks to singer Baz Mills’ mesmerising, animated and infectious showmanship and Massive Wagons’ musical muscle. Lianne La Havas is an album of startling beauty and insight from the English singer-songwriter, made entirely on her own terms while travelling and exploring her own identity; as a result, the new album feels spacious and luminous.

Our release of the week is Fetch The Bolt Cutters, the fifth studio album from Fiona Apple, which is astonishing, intimate and demonstrates a refusal to be silenced. It’s as if she has returned to reinvent sound – the rhythms pleasing but counter, and unusual. The album is full of visceral, jittery, wonderfully imperfect performances that make the album feel like a dream-like concert at Largo.

We open our bag of musical goodies for 10 July with That’s How Rumors Get Started, on which Margo Price has committed her genre-bending rock-and-roll show to record for the first time, stretching out into sky-high soft-rock, burning psychedelic rock ballads, stomping road songs, and sprinkles of pop. Unfollow The Rules is Rufus Wainwright’s ninth album of original material, and his first pop album since the Mark Ronson-produced Out Of The Game in 2012. The title track features a performance from Sarah Jessica Parker recorded for the 2018 film ‘Here And Now’. None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive, the first album from The Streets in nearly a decade, features an eclectic collection of artists, including IDLES, Hak Baker, Ms Banks, Jimothy Lacoste and Dapz On The Map, and focuses on communication in this over-connected modern world. The Grateful Dead’s third album, which brought the mass acclaim, is celebrated with the deluxe remastered set Workingman’s Dead: 50th Anniversary Edition, which includes an unreleased 1971 concert noted as a great night in a legendary run of live performances. Dreamland is the first album from Glass Animals since drummer Joe Seaward was hit by a lorry. Frontman Dave Bayley says: “The idea for this album came when I didn’t know if my best friend would make it. The future was damn scary and completely unknown. Now a lot of people are experiencing a similar sort of confusion, and it seems like the most insane but also the most apt time to reveal this record.”

Our release of the week is Song For Our Daughter, the exquisite seventh album from Laura Marling, which instantly and tenderly offers a sense of purpose, clarity and calm. As a balm for the soul, this full-blooded new collection could be posited as Laura’s richest to date – it’s another incredibly fine record by this British artist.
