Anybody been Record Shopping today?

Bought Please Please Me and A Hard Days Night from Pendulum Records in Nottingham at a decent price on Saturday.

I bet you're mourning the demise of Selectadisc. (RIP)

 

[james67]

I wish they were still there.

I remember the first Selectadisc on Arkwright Street in Nottingham...I'd be about 14 and I bought the Island sampler, 'You Can All Join In' and 'The **** Of The Mothers'. It was a brillliant record shop and I always found them far and away the cheapest. Why anybody ever went to Virgin or HMV is beyond me.

Back in the day, Virgin stocked pretty much everything I was looking for

I used to go to the Selectadisc in Berwick Street, fantastic shop. It's now a Sister Ray (I think), and it's still good, but it's no Selectadisc.

There were, and still are some great record shops down that part of the smoke. I also used to go to Sounds Of The Universe, a couple of 2nd hand places, and just around the corner in Poland Street there was the Mr Bongo shop.

Mick Pointer Band Marillion's "Script" Revisited (Ltd 2 x Purple Vinyl)

Slowly getting into Arena and dismissed this as a sad rip off (admittedly without listening) Watched some youtube clips of a MPB live performance of Grendel and was blown away hence this purchase.

pendulum records - where is it?

It's in the Victoria Centre, Steve.

I will pop in Saturday when I pick up my Led Zeppelin reissue (sorry bbb)

Found a copy of a new Music Fidelity Weezer 'Green Album' from a seller in the states. Love that album can't wait to hear it on vinyl.

DavidF @FrankHarveyHiFi, are those records you personally have bought, or new stock in your shop? (Seems to be a bit of a plug for Death Waltz.)

 

[Frank Harvey]

Nope, bought personally for my own use - and none of them from in store

I tend not to order one album from the likes of Death Waltz/Waxworks/Mondo due to postage charges.

 

[thescarletpronster]

Thanks for your reply. Hope you're enjoying your seasonally appropriate spooky tunes!

Inside The Pleasure Dome - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Sneer if you will, but it was a big album when I was growing up, and the 20 minute track on the first side of the album is fantastic. Probably the most in depth box set I've seen for a single album.

nowt wrong with that - still a masterpiece - I play it regular

Got a bit bored working from home, so paid an impromptu visit to my local vinyl emporium... *biggrin*

+1 for the FGTH album. It has some superb music on it.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Sneer if you will

So bought Paul Simon Graceland, Bowie Diamond Dogs and an utterly fantastic compilation of WWII big band songs all for £10 from A Gentleman's Relish in Stockport

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Got an original copy of Depeche Mode - Black Celebration from a Charity Shop for £1 today.

Record doesn't look the best, so I just gave it a test spin, and it has more crackles and pops than the fireworks outside. Time to get the Knosti out.

Edit: Played pretty well after the clean. Good for a pound anyway.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Just ordered this on orange vinyl, which should look lovely on my turntable.

 

[stevebrock]

Jungle

SQ very good on this !

I have to confess that I just don't get the appeal of Flaming Lips at all; I understand why most bands are popular even if I don't much care for them, but not this lot.

With apologies.
