The're also plenty of kids buying dubstep and grime on vinyl.
My lad is 16, spends most of his spare cash on vinyl and makes a fair bit selling stuff he finds in charity shops and boot fairs.

Spillers Records - the oldest record shop in the WORLD
I had never realised that about Spillers! Mebbe it wasn't the oldest when I used to frequent it in the late 80s?
I saw a girl near Tower Bridge in London this week wearing a Spillers T-Shirt.

think they just never went on about it too much maybe
Not sure how much the 5x7" ed banger set was but one went for nearly £500. ID's were hidden, I wondered if people were setting up new accounts to bid them to silly prices with no intention of paying.
yeah, on the ed banger auctions where you could see bidders, it was all new accounts pushing the price up. not the case with toots - the bidders all have plenty of feedback... i'm kind of hoping they don't have any left when i go in tomorrow, 'cause i'll struggle not to get another and put it on ebay.

More bass, vicar?
If they have another one you can buy it for me and I'll Paypal you the money!

shut it you egg!
it seems utterly futile to me tbf. fetish vinyl for foolish people.
the one day of the year when your local emporium looks like this at 9 in the morning...
cba queueing so i popped in on my way home to survey the dregs. i got a toots & the maytals 7".
anyone else got owt good?
if only, 2 shops in the toon were worse than that...
my mate runs a shop and if it wasn't for Amazon and discogs believe me he WOULDN'T be there!
i dunno how i feel about this, it reprsents everything thats crap on the one hand, ie pointless shit waste of resources/ rehashed bollocks, and twats who have no interest in the music turning up once a year at a shop they should be supporting
then again who was in the queue first thing? Er me.
but on the other hand
that's basically it, the only point is well, 2 points - to give indie shops a well deserved cash boost, and 2 ) to gove people like me the chance to make money out of sad bastards
whats this? It wasn't on the list i saw?
nope, not point 2. that's what makes you vermin.
i actually think its quite funny making wonga out of people sad enough to live in the past, but there you go

What is record store day, and how does it work?
it's the record industry's annual concession to indie record stores: basically the labels all make limited edition pressings of records (some new, some repressings), and make them available only through independent record stores on the same day.
then ebay dealers queue from 5am to get first dibs on the rare stuff, and whack it straight on ebay at a substantial mark-up. a copy the toots 7" i got on saturday for 6 quid sold for 65 quid yesterday... i popped back into my local store on the way to work and they still had copies, so i got another.

Fuck you Dave!
If anyone knows anywhere that still has copies of the limited edition Blancmange pressing then I know someone who would be very interested!

check Ebay...rds bee sides
WTF!! I coulda had that but didn't think it would go for much more than starting price!
yeah, it's great. the b-side doesn't grab me particularly, but 'boogaloo' is a tune.
trojan have stuck out some really fine looking unreleased stuff lately - i was looking at a 7 of derrick morgan & desmond dekker duetting on 'mercy mercy' yesterday... think it might have to wait until payday though.
