Going to Cob Records in Bangor tomorrow....

[Marco]

...with Snapper to buy some vinyl:

Never been before, but apparently there are some rare gems to be had amongst a very eclectic selection of music - should be fun! :cool:

Now there's a blast from the past! A fair amount of my student grant was spent in there - mostly on cassettes! A great place. You're going to love it.

Have a great time there Marco.

In my student days I spent a fortune there on vinyl (then that was all there was) by mail order (sent in a plain brown wrapper! :eyebrows:).

You ought to find some interesting items, but be warned - the owner knows his stuff and it's priced accordingly. If you have some unwanted stock (either vinyl or CD) he may buy it off you; you get a better deal part exchange.

Have fun and let us know what you have bought. And how it sounds when played with a Decca cartridge.

Regards

You'll love it Marco - I've chucked a lot of cash that way too both mail order & through 2 or three visits.

Cheers, guys - it certainly has a bit of a rep, so looking forward to it... Will let you know what goodies we purloin :)

Led Zeppelin - CODA.

Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays - As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls.

Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life.

Pat Methney Group with Lyle Mays, Mark Egan and Dan Gottlieb.

Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers.

John Martyn - Couldn't Love You More.

I know these & have them, yep that's what i'd call a decent increase to the collection. The two Vangelis discs i have on CD, the Camel disc is vinyl & very good it is to ;)

Enjoy :)
