I’m all for supporting local businesses but my last two trips to local record shops have been very disappointing.
Pricing is now way beyond what I’m willing to pay for second hand/used records.
It is much cheaper finding brand new records on amazon and other online stores, not just by the odd quid or two, but £10 and more, some were £65 for an album. That’s just plain ridiculous to me.
On both occasions I visited in the afternoon, and both shops were empty. That pretty much summed it up for me.
Sadly, that’s two more places I won’t even bother going to anymore.
