I know
there is going to be much mention of vinyl this week.
I feel sorry for those that have had to get rid of their collection for one reason or another. The joy I had perusing the racks in Probe records, taking home a big square carrier bag, splitting the cellophane with my thumbnail, pulling out the round black shiny goodness, all stuck to the inner sleeve with static, and playing it for the first time.


Then again, old Herb Alpert records from the charity shop gave me the same pleasure and makes up about a 1/3 of my collection!
Life would not be as fun without Herb.

I know!
Not the same without the steps outside full of thrash kids and crusties. And Pete Burns with his full black eye contact lenses freaking everyone out.

Probe - best record shop ever!
No matter how obscure the stuff I was looking for the guys that worked there always seemed to know about it and, more importantly, where a copy could be had.
To all the dumb-f**ks working at HMV and the like: it's called "CUSTOMER SERVICE" and it earns you "REPEAT BUSINESS". </rant>
