Another week for the humble little record store
Another week draws to a close for the humble little record store. This week had it’s share of ups and a LOT of downs, but i managed to keep things together until the end and shall enjoy a nice relax now as reward. I met a few lovely new music enthusiasts this week and each day was filled with many twists and turns, but most importantly, that unmistakable aroma of vinyl (mostly peoples roof-spaces and garages to be fair)
From Monday’s quiet hum to the finale of Saturday’s usual frenzy, every day brought its own rhythm (pardon the crap pun) and energy. Customers flipped through stacks of records, seeking gems from all genres and eras.
And, most importantly for me, i gained some more skills and learned a bit more about web development. You should notice the formatting of my posts hopefully becoming a bit more steamlined over the coming weeks. There is such a feeling of achievement when you fix any problem by yourself, without having to pay an expert.
Today in record sales
Today saw quite an eclectic selection of music flying out the door. A lot of Drum & Bass from the likes of Roni Size, Goldie and Ed Rush were in demand and also some great titles from a favourite label of mine, Compost Records from Germany. Some gems from the downtempo & lounge section also sold, alongside the usual spread of big dancefloor fillers and full on anthems! Bangers and blissful beats living together perfectly.
Had our Royal Mail collection this afternoon which is proving incredibly handy and it also makes it a race against time to get as many orders packaged and ready to go before our friendly postie arrives. This has further increased productivity.
Top 50 albums as selected by myself.
DAY 2 OF 50
Back in 2021 on the 50 days leading up to my 50th Birthday, i posted a daily review of my 50 favourite LPs of all time. This rundown was a varied selection of everything from acoustic folk music to dark metal and French electronica.
Today, day 2 of 50 Is a beautiful, emotional masterpiece from a true goddess of the music world.

MUSIC & MEDIA EXCHANGE SCHEME
TURN THE RECORDS THAT YOU DON’T USE ANYMORE INTO CASH OR EXCHANGE THEM FOR FRESH VINYL THAT YOU WILL USE.
WE believe that lurking in everyone’s attic / roof space is a dusty old box of vinyl records or at the bottom of your shelves there’s a ton of records that you bought years ago and your taste may have changed and you no longer like.
We buy and trade those records that you may have grown out of or have double copies of. These unloved pieces of plastic could be generating serious cash for you and offering a well needed financial boost on the lead up to Christmas.
Cash is paid on the spot for records of ALL styles OR an exchange rate of 1.5 times the amount is offered
FOR EXAMPLE
If we value your collection at £100. We offer you a choice of either £100 in cash OR £150 in store credit to use either in-store or online. This credit option is particularly useful if you want to refresh your collection.
Get in contact with details of any records, CDs, instruments, equipment that you wish to offload..
