Xann Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here's the list... A few VTer favourites in there, and a varied smattering of oddities. Chas N Dave - 'Rabbit' - 500 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted March 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Funny, I was only telling the gf the other day about a little record store in Newport that I used to spend all my money at. Drove past where it used to be last week and wasn't surprised to see it had gone. Then I looked at Xann's link and find that it is still going strong, just a wee bit up the road. Definitely going to pop in next time I'm over that way. Edited March 22, 2013 by choffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I've given up on record shops. There were two in Bradford - HMV, of which 'nuff said - and a decent secondhand one that is closing down next week (the owner is retiring, but nobody wanted to take it over). You know what? I don't really care. I can (and do) get everything I want from the internet. All I will miss is something to do at lunchtimes, impulse buys. And I've finally started ripping my remaining LPs that don't exist on CD, so I should be able to offload all my vinyl (2,000-odd albums, a few hundred singles) in the next couple of years. Not a vinyl fetishist at all, they're just a waste of space. Edited March 22, 2013 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 a fair point M, I'm nowhere near a vinyl fet either I use the shop for some impulse buys, I pick their brains and I also just use it to kill 30 minutes but I do find it handy to combine old and new, I'll find something by accident on the interweb, tweet the shop to please get me a physical copy, then go in when it's convenient and pick it up once in, they are cute enough to give me some freebie samplers, which invariably leads to another buy a week or three later I don't smoke, no drugs, rarely drink, wasting money on all formats and forms of music is my vice.

hogso Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I see there's another Botch re-issue - they must do these for it every year, I'm sure there's been one in the list for the last few years. Bong and Mugstar interest me, but tbh, that Chas & Dave record is probably the most interesting thing on there. 7'' shaped like a Rabbit? Yea!

Xann Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'd quite like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuHr00nxeew, but it's usually the soundtrack stuff that disappears first - The film and TV geeks get involved. IIRC, the Doctor Who gear caused a scuffle a couple of years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
