Enjoyed a visit to a vinyl pop up shop locally, only here for 4 days unfortunately. Not a huge selection of records but some interesting stuff, mainly limited editions and coloured vinyl.
There was a 2 disc version of Music from the Big Pink by The Band - 45 RPM on pink vinyl which I thought about buying, lots of new stuff as well much of which I had never heard of, must be getting old.
He also had Project RCM, so might go back later today and have a few records cleaned.
On the subject of which I am looking for something similar myself if anyone has one for sale.

Just a wee update, managed to have one record cleaned, but the machine was too loud for the small shop. So the record cleaning service was abandoned for the rest of the weekend.

Back in the late 80s when I was a Saturday boy in an audio shop, that was one of my jobs, record cleaning. I hated doing it. The RCM was located in a back hall, at the top of a flight of stairs. The echo was awful from it. Once I wrecked a valuable record, glue from under the velvet brush got onto it. The thing ran hot and this customer brought a load of records in for cleaning and well..... it all got too warm.... oooppppps. After that I refused to clean valuable records.

All these years on they are still noisy to use.

Where about's did it POP up.

I remember a pop up, in Callander once, and another time in a scouts hall in Dunkeld. Got some nice music on both occasions.

The pop up shop was in Gourock from Thursday to Sunday, not a huge selection unfortunately. The one record that I had cleaned came up pretty good though.
But it was very loud in a very small shop. Still thinking of buying one though.

Marco's being remarkably quiet about the pop up vinyl he bought in Ann Summers.

A mind in the gutter, but I can see where your comment came from.
