The fact that there is usually a queue of vinyl hunters outside Longwell Records is testament to the popularity of this Keynsham record shop.
Owner Iain Aitchison - who once appeared in a scene with Hollywood star Christopher Walken in Stephen Merchant’s Bristol TV series The Outlaws - is passionate about vinyl but also about the city where he grew up.
Originally from Southmead, he is a keen advocate of Bristol bands and their albums are still some of the most requested in his shop.
We asked Iain for the top ten sellers at Longwell Records at the moment and the list ranges from legends like The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac to Bristol favourites Idles and Massive Attack.
Longwell Records is located at 36 Temple Street in Keynsham and online.

5. Massive Attack - Blue Lines
‘Always on re-order and slightly edging out Portishead as I had this album on repeat back in the day. Everybody in our shop is always on the hunt for Blue Lines on vinyl.’ | Massive Attack - Blue Lines

6. Sleaford Mods - Spare Ribs
'My second favourite Sleaford Mods album after UK GRIM. The Sleafords have a very special place in our hearts at Longwell Records and the music resonates with what’s happening ringside at the moment.’ | Sleaford Mods - Spare Ribs

7. Idles - Joy As An Act Of Resistance
‘Just about edges Brutalism for me and we sold about 120 copies upon original release!’ | Idles

8. Portishead - Dummy
‘This gorgeous album is always on re-order as it sells out so quickly and it’s a massive favourite of mine, reminding me of Bristol days circa early 1990s.’ | Portishead
