Off Topic Where did you used to buy your records?

vic, i once saw department s live.

 

Yeah I'm pretty much the opposite, I'm a bit of cinephile and go to the cinema a couple of times a week.

 

i try sometimes. if it's in black and white and has alastair sim in it, i'll watch it. i don't even watch much tv.

 

Craig was great he would order anything yoy wanted
He got me quite a few imports
Yeah he used to do the lottery thing for city
He never took the free pass they offered him he always insisted on paying for it
Not many bigger city fans than him

 

i used to order my 45s from hammonds/binns because they were a bit cheaper.

Never underestimate the department stores (Upstairs at Boots in Prospect Centre, Debenhams plus WH Smiths) - i picked up rarities from The Damned, New Model Army, The Cramps & The Fall from their racks.

In my youth it was Good Vibrations & Cordocks in Hornsea and Redifusion Records in Beverley - plus the shop on Dog & Duck Lane that I can’t remember the name of…

 

This gets closer to my OP: http://www.britishrecordshoparchive.org/-yorkshire.html

 

I used to get mine from Soundtrek in Hornsea, I used to go in with a list that I'd got from Sounds or NME, and they'd order them in for me.

 

I havent read the previous 6 pages but I always went in Offbeat - it was one of the best shops in the country for limited edition releases. I managed to get a few that had a total run of 1000 copies that were changing hands for hundreds of pounds (Eeee, a lot of money back then).

 

On my way back from school, can't remember if it was 60/61 but I bought my first single; Why by Tony Newley. I didn't go in to buy this but it was a little local shop and it was the only song I'd heard of. Think my pocket money was burning a hole in my trousers. I was a bit worried about mentioning Newley until someone mentioned Rolf Harris.

 

I used to use itunes but I just use windows phone mixradio now.

 

That's what happens if you buy a **** phone.

 

yeah widows phones are pretty bad

 

Oi this thread is vinyl only. Digital sucks !

 

in 76 they reissued all the beatles 45s and there was a b side i wanted. i walked into a record shop (maybe stardisc in hepworth's arcade) and on the counter was a display box with beatles singles in it. the one at the front was the one i was after, so i picked it up and paid for it. made me wonder what the people in the shop thought - kid goes into shop, picks up the first thing he sees, buys it, leaves.
