A MUSIC fan has turned his passion into business to open his own record shop.

Grays shoppers can sell or exchange unwanted records, CDs and DVDs in Adam Levy's new shop on the High Street.

Music DVD Exchange opened on April 11 and stocks a wide range of music, including rock, pop and reggae. He is also offering to find rare records for customers, and can also transfer their old albums to CD.

He said: "A lot of people have told me they have been waiting for a shop like this for a long time as there is nothing like this round here. I worked in record shops for a long time and records have been my passion ever since I was little."
