  • Record shops

    Until 18 months or so ago Loughborough had 4 record shops the last one(Zavvi) closed last week.
    If I want to buy a CD/DVD I now have to go to Leicester or Nottingham.
    I don't like buying on line & prefer going to a shop to see what's available.
    The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.

    We have nowhere in Ely except Tescos.

    Woolies is gone, and the one local independant shop is now selling kebabs.

          I had a Saturday job in Selectadisc and Wild Wax when I was a teenager! Brill that it's still there - 'twas a bit of an institution.

            Yes and a tram stop only two minuets away.

                Nearest record shop for me is Horsham or Horley Tescos. There hasn't been a record shop in Dorking for about 10 years, I think and now that Woollies is gone, that option is gone with it!

                Actually, I don't know if WHSmith sells them (ours is quite small). I don't recall seeing them in there, but I would have thought the selection is miniscule.

                  We have HMV, Virgin records, Golden discs, Easons and Tesco. Probably a few more I can't think of at the moment.
                  Sometimes I buy on Itunes. You can buy tune by tune rather than the whole disc if its just one track you want.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                    They are supermarkets that sell a limited selection of titles they are NOT record shops.

                      I was upset when The Left Legged Pineapple shut BW, the OH and I always used to find gems and spend too much when we went in there (visiting SiL's who live in LoBro).

                      Our record shop, MixMusic, in Skipton closed a few years ago, so there's nowhere in Skipton now that Woolies is gone. We'd have to go to Leeds or Bradford for what I'd call a 'proper' record shop now. I just browse the download sites now, especially 7Digital.
