I'm Ken.
I set myself up for that one Marco.
I'll see what I can do.
What do folks think about the file format?
Its easy to put it together in excel, and link the file, but does everyone have excel?
To convert it to a multi page PDF may not be straight forward, and MS Word is allways a possibility using the table function.
The beauty about a spread sheet is you can keep adding new info and then just sort the data by column heading, eg post code.
Will have a look at it.

Cool, that's much appreciated. Perhaps you could start a thread about it in Critic's Corner, and thus gauge the interest of the membership?
If the consensus is that it would be of benefit, then I'm sure we'll do all that we can to make it 'go live' on the forum

I vote for excel, those that don't have it can download openoffice or libreoffice for free. You could do the occasional pdf version for lazy souls.Originally Posted by Qwin

Are you aware of the "The Vinyl District"?
This iPhone/iPad App will let you know about all Record Shops that are in the vicinity of wherever you are in the world (whether you are at home or abroad!) and importantly provide map/ directions on how to get there.

That's if you believe in the use of 'fancy phones', and carry such devices around with you

I just looked it up - thanks!
It seems there's an Android version too so it works with the 80% of new phones sold too.
Plus 70% of new tablets....
Just installed it....looks good and it has the local ones that I know about. Great!
That darned app is going to cost me a lot of money!

Les Aldrich is an old school music store and you can have a nice lunch at Kilim up the street - why do I always associate with food ??
Didn't know now stocks vinyl. Must have a look. Thanks

There's a man with his finger on the pulse.
... and there is a famous "The Kinks" pub down the road with a Kinks memorabilia/party room - The Clissold Arms - where they first performed. The Indian opposite (Rasoi) is brilliant.

Steven,
An army marches on its stomach, so should shoppers. No shame in that...

Truth is always new, totally unknown, and unknowable. The mind must come to it without any demand, without any knowledge,without any wish; it must be empty, completely naked. Then only truth may happen. But you cannot invite it.
JK Hamburg 1956,Talk 4
What a brilliant idea. That's do-able for me on a day off.
