We hope this new blog post finds you well! 

Everything has been going well at Reckless recently, lots of great records and CDs have been coming in - and selling very quickly! Lets have a look at whats been coming in;

1) Scott bought a great collection in West London. The collection was made up of around 600 LPs and 12"s and several boxes of CDs too.
