Not coming Rustington way are you Andy? Traffic around Sainsbury’s a bloomin nightmare. We are at Jill’s dad’s house getting it ready for his return after respite care.

Agree. Randomly I got a Facebook post about the shop based on my location, so I made a note of name… couldn’t find anywhere. Zoomed in on the photo someone had posted & found it from the house number! Ended up passing it every day on way to Worthing hospital- went on last day

Last record shop of our stay in W Sussex. What Goes Around… shop been open for 7 months the guy says. No social media presence as he ‘can’t be doing with it’ Stocked full of interesting stuff but personally records were on at high price. Also check the records - found deep scratch on Energy Flash 😢

I’d got my head around its limitations & then they go & change it again. Absolute disaster bring in a shop trying to find out if you have something in your collection or not

Rachel Blackman @g0disadj.bsky.social · 22d

Yeah but have you tried it lately? When you do that it tends to come up with main listing, not the single item you’re looking for

Oh & VERY happy to get Buffalo Stance for £1 as last time I played mine to friends at a soirée it was fucked up beyond belief - embarrassing #scratchyscratchy

This was my purchases from Music Mania in Worthing the other day - I have the 12”s already but will keep the best & sell the others. Intrigued to hear the compilations

Ah might be - this was a US release

By the way what is this called? I seem to recall that it’s when records were returned to distributors- right?

Decided to pop to one of my favourite record shops - A Ray Of Delight in Arundel after Helter Skelter but found it shut 😫 at 14:50 - I seem to recall this is an annoyance of @pafbg.bsky.social

Nipped into Chichester whilst @housingot.bsky.social was looking at care homes ☹️ gave myself a fix of Helter Skelter Records. Consistently NM vinyl at good prices. The £1 dance 12” bins seem to be gone but came away with these, then saw the #depechemode in window on the way out for great price

Ah she has Sainsbury’s within walking distance. Often deliver birthday ‘packages’ though to student houses… usually a cake, bottle of vodka, beers, treats for the household - it’s cute…. as long as they are awake to receive it!
