After 35years of shopping there I still spend most of my money in Rough Trade
Im in no way shape or form linked to this shop but just happened to "find" it. I spent £35 of my hard earned to try and offer some support. Stu, the guy who runs the shop has a very nice selection of new and used vinyl and is happy to haggle. I got a few quid knocked off a Russian import of Black Sabbath! Please pop in and support him if you can. I have added a link with more info http://alternativebarnsley.wordpress...debut-records/
Thanks for reading lads!

We're just back from a few days in Cornwall and on Saturday I went to a shop called Music Nostalgia in Truro (it's in the Pannier Market on the Lemon Quay if you want to go there yourself).
Well, what a delight it was! They have a massive selection of new vinyl - more than I have seen for years, apart from perhaps Diverse Vinyl. They also have a good stock of used stuff too, mostly at reasonable prices.
Nice friendly folk and lots of appreciative customers.
So what did you buy? :)

Just back from a trip away - no music except the car stereo since Thursday - boo, hiss!
First album on the TT?
A newly acquired copy of an album I used to own, as did Mrs Wazzles, yet neither of us know what happened to either copy.

New Rhino vinyl.
I'll have to compare this to my WWA originals.

A lovely new pressing of this old beauty! Excellent.
This topic would be great for a some technology leveraging...
Has anyone made a shared google map for record shops?
Everyone could add their fav shops - then they are easy to find when we travel about....
just at though

That is, free but somehow not cheap when it helps you discover that you're staying close to a Vinyl store, in fact it can be pretty expensive.....but it's only money :-)

Whoa! wicked John! I love it!
Try to say this with an Elmer Fudd accent: "World Wide Record Retailers"

However, there is a FREE way to get the info.
Open google, use this search:
records site:http://www.spottedbylocals.com/
Try it, you may be surprised... there are lots of record stores listed, many are not in the Vinyl District.
Can you say "wow, really like finding records everywhere"?
