released some material<\/strong> on vinyl in time for the celebration, as well as special releases by Pink Floyd or Marc Bolan.<\/p>\nAn aspect worth noticing is the common distaste for CDs<\/strong>. Vinyl is still here, and the age range of the people queuing to buy records at all hours during the festival was wide.<\/p>\nSo, the good cause that I mentioned above is keeping open the independent record stores<\/strong>. At the moment, there are about 300 still open in UK. I am a firm believer in the human touch when it comes to advice and selling things. The internet itself is made by human beings for human beings too. But, there’s so much info we all could upload onto the net! At Graham Jones’ presentation, I learnt that record store employees are specialists in one area, whilst retaining knowledge about other music genres. In other words, good people to ask for advice and experiences!<\/p>\nOh, and I didn’t catch Paul Weller’s ‘secret’ gig with The Strypes at Rough Trade East either… Anyone attended?<\/p>\nNo share or id values provided for youtube shortcode.<\/strong>\nThank you for reading!<\/p>\n
