Hello UK!
where does everyone else dig around here?
Shop-wise, there's a stall in my local market. He's specialises in rock/metal, so that's stuff is pricy, then everything else goes into his £1 bin - but that stuff is all stuff I've seen a million times before. It's all record club stuff. I swear there must have only been about 10 different albums available in the UK between 1970 1990, and they were all James Last and Tijuana Brass.
Then there's the Diskery in Brum - been there a few times, spent hours there the other day, but everything is so pricy - there's no grunge to dig through and grab bargains though, the only real cheapo stuff is the same James Last and Cliff Richard £1 bin I can get at my local market. Came out with 3 albums, 2 of which were over £10 - and not as great as I remembered them to be when I heard them in the shop -hate when that happens.
Then you got car boots and charity shops, which are hit and miss, and are yet another James Last bonanza. My best stuff really comes from listening to stuff on ebay, and getting it through there.
I was thinking about rocking up to Nottingham and going through Robs Records, but it's a mission to get there for me, so don't know if there's somewhere better I can be aiming for.
Anyone got any UK digging success stories that will get me going again? Think I'm suffering from post Dikery meltdown at the moment. Arg.
Maybe I just expect too much for my pennies...
