An RCM really is an invaluable (I would say essential) tool, if like me, you're an avid buyer of used vinyl

No, not yet. Maybe after Crimbo. I have to use a wheelchair (but do have an adapted car I drive my chair into from the back - for someone else to drive). Will need to phone the shop to see what access is like . .

Hi Bob, ah, sorry to hear that... Knowing what the shop is like, it could be difficult. The owner, however, was very friendly, so I'm sure he will help you as best as he can

Recent listening ...
Malipiero - Sea Symphony. It's that Italian bloke again - they get everywhere!
Sergio Rendine - Passio et Resurrectio. Another bloody Italian!- born 1954. And another Naxos CD.
Mmm ... this is a strange one. A big work with "soloists, speakers, percussion, chorus and orchestra". Great fun, very unusual and a very good recording. I think this is gonna grow on me.
