Action Records, Church Street, Preston Action Records is something of a musical institution in the city, and this is purely down to the dedicated owner Gordon Gibson. The shop has been established since 1979, starting off on a stall in Blackpool just as the independent music scene was emerging. From there they soon opened a site in Preston, where they have been ever since. Action Records have always been at the forefront of music trends throughout the years, and have also established their own record label, releasing records by bands such as The Boo Radleys, Dandelion Adventure, and Fi-Lo Radio, amongst others.
