    The Sheffield folk on here might like to know we finally have a record shop in the city centre again!

    Vinyl Demand, on Rockingham Street... and it's a goodie, full of great old stuff. Went in the other day and bought four LPs - friendly guy, too.

    Square Records - Wimborne Minster

    A dying breed now these small shops, great service and also a selection of S/H albums too. Very good at sourcing what you want as well.

    Facebook - Square Records


    Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

    Had a little trip to:

    http://www.rubbersoulrecords.co.uk/

    earlier today

    Picked up:

    Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnakes
    Rainbow - Down to Earth
    Joan Armatrading - Track Record
    Ted Nugent - State of Shock
    Pretenders - Pretenders
    Dire Straits - Communique
    Mica Paris - So Good
    Earth Wind & Fire - All n' All
    Pretenders - Learning to Crawl
    Bad Company - Straight Shooter
    Pat Travers - Go For What You Know
    Doobie Brothers - Best Of
    Pat Travers - Putting it Straight
    Marvin Gaye - Midnight Love
    Emmylou Harris - Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town

    15 (Fifteen) albums for just fifteen of your English pounds - and most are good/perfect outer and inner sleeves as well. No serious scratches or groove damage (with what I've got through so far, anyway) and of course any crud just cleans up on the Moth.

    Well happy
    Current Lash Up:

    TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
