Idle Moments

Named after the Grant Green record and run by the people behind Brilliant Corners, the Dalston bar that started London's listening-room habit, so the turntables and amplifiers on the shop floor have been tested in that building. Japanese pressings come through Vinyl Delivery Service, a Tokyo specialist, which accounts for stock that does not appear elsewhere in the UK. The hi-fi, the natural wine and the records are sold in the same room, and the staff will match a bottle to a record if asked.
