}}Banquet Records became fully independent in 2002, formerly part of the Beggars Banquet Records retail chain. The record shop is based in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London. It stocks a broad range of music on both vinyl and CD. The establishment is also home to Gravity DIP music management, as well as the Banquet Records record label.[1]

History

Started as part of the Beggars Banquet chain of record stores before becoming fully independent in 2002. The store was sold to the then manager, however decreased profits lead the store to near bankruptcy towards the end of 2004.[2]

In February 2005,[3] Banquet Records was taken over by new owners; previous employees of the Beggars store, Jon Tolley and Mike Smith.[4]{{r|found}}

In 2017, the store won Music Week's award for best independent retailer of the year.[4]

Services

The store uses its slogan "More than just your local record store"{{r|slogan}} to provide services other than the sale of music, as it also runs various concerts, club nights and in-stores in and around Kingston upon Thames. The use of slogan has been described as such: "The premise outlined in their advertising strap line is simple: 'More than your local record store'. And it is incredibly apt. Not just content with supplying Kingston's art school students and music aficionados with their favourites, Banquet Records has firmly placed itself at the heart of this vibrant town's music scene."[5]

It stocks a broad range of music on both vinyl and CD but mainly specialises in new music from indie, punk, emo, electronica, house, drum 'n' bass and hip hop and funk genres.[6] As well as selling Vinyl Records and CDs, the store also sells merch, record players, record boxes and general vinyl accessories.

The store takes part in Record Store Day, which is a celebration of independent record stores.[7]
