What a success, my local record store ‘Hundred Records’ changed hands back in October last year so a first RSD25 as the owner for the new owner and a great morning was had. I got down there and in the queue at 6.20am and there were approximately 50 people in front of me, some camped…
Every day is a school day! I had done my good deed for the day by donating a sizeable selection of classical and show tune records that had come into my ownership to one of the charity shops that I occasionally find some great donated vinyl in. They had nothing today so after a 20…
Like many out there I can’t help scanning ‘Discogs’ for my ‘Wishlist’ of records. I don’t share the list as it’s ever changing and to be honest more of a mental list. This week I bought for the ‘list’ and a record not on it as such, an opportunist purchase. Not from Discogs, I got…

They released one album, Burned, and four singles and EPs before splitting up in 1996, due to…
Put another way, what Vinyl will be in my basket? I always look ahead to see what Vinyl releases are imminent, I don’t have a direct link to any sources specifically telling me what is on the horizon so like everyone else I search sites to find out. There is nothing here you cannot find…
Some vinyl/music collectors have this issue, I am one of them. I did not have this issue growing up as it just worked in my head, especially as I started buying CDs far as they were the next big thing and could be played in the car. They were easier on a shelf to track…
