Anybody been Record Shopping today?

[thescarletpronster]

bought a moon Equinox CD player too. Picking it up on Saturday.

What with Saturday actually being the vernal equinox, you couldn't have timed that better!

Hope the CD player sounds cool too.

Im gonna have a full weekend of music. Can't wait.

Oh, and a Prong album arrived today. £9.56 for a double album. Freekin awesome.

Popped into Banquet Records in Kingston and bought Billy the Kid on white vinyl, produced by Frank Turner....superb. Looking for record shops/fairs in the Basingstoke/Reading/Southampton areas, any suggestions?

There used to be a monthly record fair in Southampton on the last Saturday of the month - small, but free entry and sometimes you'd find something good. It used to be in the Star Hotel in the High St. I went to it a couple of years ago but haven't managed to get back since, but looking online it looks as though the venue has moved, and the dates have changed. I think this is the same fair I went to: http://www.usrfairs.co.uk/

I see there are also some fairs in Winchester and Andover. Whether it's the same dealers at each of them I don't know, but hopefully you'll find something you like.

A second-hand shop opened in Southampton last summer. I've not been able to get down there, but it would be worth checking out if you're in town. It's called Back Tracks. Here's a listing with details: http://www.vinylhub.com/shop/12394-Back-Tracks

There's also an Oxfam Record shop in Southampton (in the High St, just up from the Star Hotel) and one in Winchester, in the upstairs of their book shop.

If you're in the area, there's also a new 'new' record shop in Romsey, which is just a few miles away. It's called Hundred Records. Again, don't have experience but it would be worth checking out if you're there.

Let us know what you think if you visit any of them.

Finally managed to get hold of a vinyl copy of Gamel by OOIOO today. Really pleased. Japanese gamelan-inspired improvised rock. Who could ask for more?

[strms]

Thank you. I will be getting out and about this week coming and I'll let you know how I get on.

 

[strms]

The thanks is for thescarletpronster for the info on shops/fairs in and around Hants.

 

[thescarletpronster]

You're welcome. Look forward to hearing about your experiences. I had chance to pop in to the Romsey shop recently - didn't have long to spend looking around, but it looks promising. A good selection of vinyl as well as CDs.

I was in Sister Ray records in London yesterday and was very surprised to find "Culture Of Volume" by East India Youth in the racks as I was certain the release date was April 6th? It had to be bought of course and is a splendid listen.
