Used to be a weekly visit until my circumstance changed. Good but not huge vinyl selection.

I wonder if they are early Genesis fans?I've just discovered a new (to me) record shop in Liverpool, called Musical Box, which is in 457 West Derby Road, Liverpool, Merseyside L6 4BL. Tel: 01512 633845.

Has anyone been to it? I've not been yet, but just wondered if it was any good? I'll be popping in to check it out next time I'm in Liverpool

Hi Jerry,
I suspect so! Something also tells me that they'll have a decent, and perhaps eclectic, selection of vinyl

Just returned from a visit to Swordfish, Temple Street, Birmingham. A greater stock of new and used vinyl than 2yrs ago. CD stock not so wide due to downloads.
Give him a visit.

I'd like to give a wee mention for my local dealer Ali who runs "Third Base" in Chapel Street, Dunfermline. A large?(well to me anyway) collection of vinyl,cd and even some cassette tapes, worth a look if your near.

Everyman Records, Nelson.N.Z.
Pop in, have a chat about music with the owner or one of the staff, they are all enthusiasts. The new & s/h records section is well stocked & presented. If they don't have what you want, you might have to sit down with one of them & go through the import lists.
Not as convenient as pushing a button, but an infinately more satisfying experience.
A bit like vinyl itself, if you'll pardon the obvious analogue analogy.
