Ah, I thought you were replying to Mike's earlier question of "Anyone know of any good indie record shops in the North East?"Originally Posted by Thing Fish
I just went on the title of the thread...
It seemed that way, as your response came directly afterwards. No worries

Yep, as David says, Hairy Records in Bold St is excellent, as is that little aniques shop. Also check out the Oxfam at the bottom of Bold St - they have a decent selection.
And Probe have a small second-hand section, too:

Enjoy and let us know what you buy!

Hi Dan,
As far as I know, I don't think they've got anything to do with that, but I'm not sure. It would be interesting to find out
I wonder what Martin bought then when he was in Liverpool?
