Vinyl is a waiter service, sit down three course meal, with Irish coffee and After Eight Mints at the end.
Spotify is a bag of Aldi crisps in an inner city bus shelter.

The demographic in vinyl buying has changed over the past few years Doug. It used to be the preserve of middle aged men but now young females seem to be regular visitors to my shop. Even though Cobain's been dead nearly thirty years, Nirvana is still a strong seller and to people who weren't even born when those records were released. Our record fairs in Scarborough get a fair few students through the doors and though they don't have a great deal of ready cash, they always leave with bags full of bargain bin albums. Best reply I've ever heard from a young record buyer when I asked them what the attraction of vinyl was: 'Getting it out the sleeve and putting it on, then up again and turning it over, it demands you give it your full attention.' Good to hear. Glad to see people not prepared to listen to music on phones as a go to method. I have a hi def player to take out, but indoors it has to be vinyl. |

Definitely vinyl for me but I rarely buy modern vinyl as it's too bloody heavy.
Always on the look out for a bargain.

Christ the Album with intact box and Wally Hope story booklet goes from about £40 upwards, excellent condition copies £75. Strive to Survive on Spiderleg similar, even One Little Indian and Let Them Eat Vinly reissues £25-30. Horses for courses though, I had a few Zounds and Mob albums in and they just gathered dust, another dealer took them off my hands and sold them straightaway at Leeds Record Fair. Cheers, I have most of the Crass label. The Lack of Knowledge EP continues to be like gold dust to new vinyl listeners. The ones I get asked most about are all the early Rudimentary vinyl and the first Antisect album. |

Never had any problem buying or selling on Discogs, things are appraised properly and well packed and securely posted. Ebay though, one person's interpretation of very good condition is another's poor. I bought a job lot of Goth vinyl from there once, vgc the seller said, looked like someone had ice skated on them. Trev Halg (Savage Oi) who used to post on the old Talkpunk site has some great used stuff as well as a comprehensive new vinyl and CD catalogue. Aye, Savage Oi is great if you want to buy new stuff and his CD's are great value.👍 I've known Trev for 35 years and he's a bonny lad. His catalogue just keeps growing too. |

Pretty some of the OG Crass albums come with a notice saying “don’t pay more than X for this album” on the front which is funny because now some of them go for like £60.
