Welcome to Johnny Goggles Music CDs and Records, specialising in promo releases, rare and not so rare items, collectables, deleted and forgotten gems from days gone by, from punk, metal and indie to folk, easy listening and pop..anything!
Located in Oldham, near Manchester, England, Johnny Goggles Music started as a part-time business in 1995 and a full-time on line business since December 2005.
www.johnnygogglesmusic.co.uk opened March 2008, and has also been trading on eBay since 2003.
We welcome requests or “wants lists”. If you don’t see a particular artist or record / CD you are looking for, we have more stock not online here and have access to much much more.
Also, if you are a collector of artists who have future releases coming soon, we get lots of promo cds-singles and albums in advance. Again, please contact us with any requests -we’ll do our best!

A Note About Our Products:
We only sell promo CDs/DVDs from ABSOLUTELY 100% TRUSTED suppliers within the music industry. Promo CDs are a product produced by record companies to promote future releases.
We DO NOT sell copies, bootlegs or ripped CDs, ONLY official promo CDs/DVDs supplied by the record companies themselves.
A promo CD/DVD is usually different from the public release-sometimes(to save costs) they could be pressed on a CDr / DVDr - however, it is still official and 100% genuine from the record company.
Please understand the differences between a promo CD/DVD and a normal publicly released CD/DVD.
Promo CDr's are often produced by record companies before, or instead of, distribution of a finished promo CD.
Early UK CDr's were sometimes gold in colour. Nowadays, they are usually silver and blue.
Promos can be in plain white titled sleeves which gives just basic information such as artist, title, tracks, running time and record company logos, but they can also be issued in a picture sleeve with final artwork. Sometimes, they also display a catalogue number and could be just a 1 track, multiple track album samplers or full albums, or even multiple discs to promote boxed sets.
Promo CDs/DVDs are supplied to music magazines, radio stations, reviewers, media etc etc.
Because of the lesser number of these produced, they have a collectable value with fans and collectors.
Sometimes promo releases are for digital / download / vinyl only releases. These are NOT downloaded / ripped CDs/DVDs, but 100% official promo releases from the record companies themselves.
