Why don't you hold hands with Iain and drown yourselves in the Thames together.

If you bring a tape recorder, and we can release it in a limited run on coloured vinyl, then youve got yourself a deal.

Anyway, that would be far too much like the Mitchell brothers "dying" in Eastenders all those years ago. And im only doing it if i can be Phil

That's gone now. I saw some Killdozer in there once amongst the mountains of shite, it seemed like the kind of place that the owners didn't have a clue about music so if you hate the time to spare (i.e. a couple of days) you might have been able to find some decent stuff for cheap. but probably not many people bothered becasue it was such a skanky mess.

Go back and buy this. It's a fucking BEAUTIFUL reissue. Quickly became one of my most loved slabs of wax...

mate, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. give it a rest.

The Berwick St. branch of music exchange has some vinyl by gay beast, der tpk (first album), and an early siltbreeze 7'' of a band whose name now escapes me. Also the 7'' by The Sticks that Byron Coley reviewed on this month's The Wire and some Merzbow box. They need to get rid of the fucking madchester section!

Toilet & Bowels 03.30.2010 06:36 PM

thanks for the siltbreeze tip off, will have a look tomorrow

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 06:46 PM

the place that used to be Rainbow records just off Oxford St has changed, theyve moved their German stuff. Berwick st has never been all that much cop in my humble opinion.

It's priced 6 pounds and it's at the back of the indie 7'' section in front of the counter. I would have bought it myself but my budget for records this month is already in the red.

pokkeherrie 03.30.2010 07:07 PM

what's the teenage panzerkorps one going for?

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:09 PM

11 quid. Mint condition.

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:11 PM

games for slaves is £11 at second layer

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:16 PM

It's a reasonable price.

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:17 PM

yeah

pokkeherrie 03.30.2010 07:19 PM

that's not bad for either, especially the first one (not sure if games for slaves is oop yet?)

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:26 PM

its not out of print yet, you can always go on soulseek if the need takes you anyway

pokkeherrie 03.30.2010 07:28 PM

nah, i have it, i was just wondering how much it would cost in a physical record store compared to ebay etc.

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:29 PM

Yeah I was surprised to see it there. I would have thought all copies were long gone. That I know of there hasn't been a repressing.

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:31 PM

Which one?

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:37 PM

when i was in second layer last week they had it in their racks.

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:40 PM

im 99% sure it was the original siltbreeze.

Toilet & Bowels 03.30.2010 07:41 PM

i don't think teenage panzerkorps have any ebay value do they? not that i'd ever sell any of the stuff i have from them.

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:45 PM

nope.
When i spoke to the bloke in the shop he didnt have much to say about them either.

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 07:46 PM

its all part of the charm

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:50 PM

Probably only their first 7'' and the CDR, but I doubt they'd sell for more than 20, maybe 30, pounds. Not that I'd sell mine either.

surely some value, albeit not excessive.

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 07:58 PM

I've also seen Drunkdriver's ''Born Pregnant'' LP in All Ages Records not too long ago. I haven't checked the price, though.

glad i bought my copy while it was still available for normal price

the ikara cult 03.30.2010 08:00 PM

in that case im in the money
who did they release their first CDR on?

Toilet & Bowels 03.30.2010 08:02 PM

either self released or pink skulls, or something. i think they may have done 2 CD-Rs, one of which is the same as their first 7", the other is called Nations are Insane.

Genteel Death 03.30.2010 08:04 PM

Pink skulls

it was the Brother JT & Vibrolux 7" which I've already got, thanks though. they did a couple of other 7"s that I will pick up later.

Genteel Death 05.01.2010 05:30 AM

The Love Is So Fast lp in Berwick Street's ME for 12 quid.

Genteel Death 08.23.2017 01:47 PM

There are a couple of small record shops inside Wood Street Market in Walthamstow which I doubt are well known because they don't have much presence on the internet or their own website. I visited them a couple of times and they are a huge mess with a lot of crap to wade through but rewarding if you are into heavy rock or jazz. Loads of cheap records but don't expect to find obscure music in there.

I was recently in one of those charity shops on Barking Road in Canning Town and was shocked to find the insert of an Animals & Men (the UK DIY band) LP in the middle of a bunch of classical music and Perry Como LPs. No trace of the actual record though. Fucking hell, that would have been quite the score!

Toilet & Bowels 08.24.2017 01:35 AM

I came across a Daisy Chainsaw DVD-R in a charity shop the other day. It provided a pleasing blast from the past, and a skin crawling interview of Katie Jane Garside by Paul Morley in which he was trying to seduce her in a really sleazy and arrogant fashion and resulted in her walking out.

Genteel Death 08.28.2017 01:48 AM

Considering he's been writing boringly about the same music for 200 years it must have been a huge diversion for Paul Morley to interview a band like Daisy Chainsaw.

Two record shops I like in Hackney, located next to each other, are Crypt of the Wizard and Cosmos Records. Cosmos is particularly good for hip hop and soul. I recently saw a new copy of V-3's Live at Bernie's there, which I would have bought if I didn't own it already. Compared to the prices you'd pay for it on the internet including p&p it was a decent price too.

Genteel Death 08.28.2017 02:09 AM

Another good one is Tome Records at DIY Space for London.
