Ya Bezzer! Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Pick up a couple of old originals recently, The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (with booklet) The Byrds - 5th Dimension Covers are in decent nick but the vinyl does sound a little tired. Certainly listenable but they've obviously been played a lot. Gave them a good scrub in the sink which did improve things a little. Can't complain, I didn't pay a lot for them and they are nearly 50 years old. Edited September 9, 2016 by Ya Bezzer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got all 3 Smiths Studio albums. New releases though. After I did buy all 3 as new, I saw the Queen is Dead pink vinyl in Vinyl Villians in Edinburgh and was a wee bit annoyed at myself. the pink TQID is a fake/bootleg pressing, still looks good mind, I used to be a mental & collect every pressing I could get hold of, I've still got some pics of a bit of my old collection, I'll dig it up & show off what I used to own.

The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead, Strangeways Here We come. That's four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedafc Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 we have a shop that sells vinyl records in Ayr and HMV has added a vinyl records section in its store in Ayr lately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Big Sparra is a decent enough shop. Most HMVs carry vinyl now, but the choice is usually limited. The best record stores in Scotland are still Coda (The Cinyl Room), Assai and Monorail 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Ended up at a loose end on Saturday, and we've had a few new records in at the BHF shop in Alloa, so here's a gallery of what we currently have: http://imgur.com/a/54x4B. A few of them don't look like they've been played; send me a PM if you want more info on condition. Everything priced between 50p to £3, as labeled. You can just buy them in the shop, or I can arrange postage if you can't make it in. Most of them come up on Discogs if you want tracklists and suchlike, but happy to help if there's anything else you want to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some original Jim Reeves records my late dad bought back in the day so I could be tempted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get loads of Jim Reeves in, presumably because his original fan base is dying off now, as depressing as that sounds. I'll drop by tomorrow and see what condition the vinyl's in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Can't access the image in work so I'll have a look when I get home. Picked up a copy of Ian Dury's New Boots and Panties and James Taylor's Mud Slide Jim at the weekend from a local car boot. Also a couple of Pixies shows on CD from their 2004 reunion tour. Heading to Assai on Saturday to hopefully pick up 5 records they're trying to get for me - Shovels and Rope x2, Julia Jacklin, Handsome Family and Drive By Truckers. May well drop into Alloa on the way if there's anything I'm after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
