Sheffield Vinyl record shops update 2018

[lindylou53 18]

It's not too bad - Jacks (Division Street), Forever Changes (Eccy Road), Polar Bear (Eccy Road), Hillsborough Records, Roadhouse (Crookes), Spin City (now Tamper), Vinyl Demand (beneath the Grovesnor) and Rare and Racy are the only ones I can remember closing in the last 20 years.

 

Whereas 6 of the 7 now are new in the last 5 or so years.

 

So there's been a fairly steady amount.

Actually apparently there's another new one on Abbeydale Road called 'Below', but I've never been there.

 

Hillsborough Records not been around for years.

Funnily enough I was chatting to parents today, and had found an old CD, that I bought in 1994, but had left the receipt in the case.

 

Money for nothing (ironically given the rest of this post) - Dire Straits - Bought from Virgin - 1994 - £13.49

 

I was 20 then and at time on about £3 an hour.

 

I think that could be one reason, that internet was always going to win. It was very expensive even 20 years ago.

Just a reminder that there’s already a thread about OLD record shops here...

Vinyl Undergound in Barnsley has some decent stuff at reasonable prices (good selection on Discogs too). 3 Regent St, Barnsley S70 2EG.

Tall bird records in Chesterfield had some really interesting stuff when I was there a few months ago, decent prices too. Got a copy of the Utopia Lp for £20 which seemed pretty good to me.

Well if we're straying in Derbyshire, High Street Books & Records in New Mills is well worth a visit. The record shop part is in the basement and it's more like a record cave! Always find good stuff there and the bargain racks are always worth a browse.
