Also got loads off Amazon UK and Amazon USA. No problems (as yet) with the imports from USA, but I tend to buy just one at a time.Sounds like I may have to start checking out HMV instead of Amazon.

Cardiff tried to phase it out in the early 90's, then dance hit mainstream and it came back big time. Around 2006 they then phased it out after having quite a good selection to be fair.
Couple of months ago it came back. A whole isle (one side) of mainly rock 180gram re-issues......which is better than none at all of course
No dance singles though

HMV in Lancaster started stocking vinyl a couple of months ago. I went & had a look out of interest (normally I'd not darken their door) & found maybe a couple of hundred titles, mostly biggish sellers from the past, priced in the 14-25 quid range. I was rather pleased to find one or two fairly lesser known things too - including Big Star's 'Radio City'. However the staff, rather exposed their lack of knowledge as they had it filed under 'R'. I moved it to the 'B's' & the little twerp put it back while muttering "R for Radio City"

I wouldn't buy from HMV Belfast in a fit.....they have no clue how to present or look after vinyl. Their pricing strategy is nearly as bad as a few 'Hi End' hi fi design houses lmao.
Head have gone but word for those in the know is that they will return rather soonish....watch this space.
ECM vinyl in HMV = upwards on £30 sometimes.....can be had from ECM for an awful lot less direct!

Never let anything cause you to doubt your ability to demonstrate the truth.
