phatspinner Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 A couple of years after closing my old shop in Sheffield (Spin City) I have decided to open another called Vinyl Demand on Saturday 12th March. Like Spin City it will stock lots of Northern Soul and other types of black music. It is situated at the bottom of Rockingham Street in the City Centre opposite where the fire station used to be before it was demolished like most of Sheffield City Centre. I hope to see all my old customers and new ones of course. Having recently retired from my 9 to 5 drudgery I am looking forward to being in the shop although I will not be opening every day, though I will be open every Saturday. Opening times will be relaxed although I am prepared to open specially for any visitors should they contact me in advance. It's a relatively short-term venture as the shop is also on Sheffield Council's hit- list, no doubt to be replaced by a car park! If you come in a car there's no problem parking as the shop is surrounded by car parks where buildings used to be.!! It 's only half the size of Spin City and won't be as well -organised without Pauline but there should be plenty to browse through.. The phone number for any enquiries is 07597629901.

pikeys dog Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good luck with your new venture Andy. Not been in a shop in Sheffield since you moved to your last shop, so I'll have to pop my head in one weekend. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cunnie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thats fantastic news Andy. Spent many a happy hour in your old shop & also picked up a few bargains along the way. Not in Sheffield very much now since I moved to the Midlands but will be sure to call in the next time I'm up North. Also on a wider scale it's great news to see a shop opening selling good old fashioned vinyl. Good luck with it fella & be sure to say hi to Pauline for me. Mart...

John Moffatt Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Eyup Andy, be nice to come and have a browse again - not buy anything, just browse . Not a bad location, near the Frog & Parrot, and Washington, and a few other watering holes. That could be a day out all on its own . Sithee soon John Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

phatspinner Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yes I forgot to mention that it is equi-distant from Devonshire Cat / Washington and Frog and Parrott! Just got back from moving stock in and now realise that Spin City being twice as big means somethings just won't fit. It won't be the Nortern soul though. I shall be sorting it out this weekend so if you want anything in particular send me a text and I'll bring it down. One thing to note: the door in is cleverly concealed! I'll leave you all to work it out when you get there. Just need to find out where I stored my shop record deck now! Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
phatspinner Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I also forgot to say that there is an opening offer of 25% off all vinyl apart from new items for the first month. This would apply to 95% of the stock. Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

phatspinner Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 I thought I'd let everyone know that Vinyl Demand is still trading and has moved from Roockingham Street to 7 Charter Square which is next to the old Grosvenor Hotel for anyone familiar with Sheffield. It's only 1 minute's walk away from the old shop. The larger premises will enable me to display far more Soul Stock, particularly Albums and 12" singles. All soul fans welcome. of course. Plenty of car parking nearby including a nice lay-by outside for quick visits! Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest sharmo 1 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Andy how's the shop doing great to see an indipendant outlet in an atmosphere of record shop closure .I'm tempted to start one in Derby with my partner Paula , a sort of original retro cloth's some coffee and snack's and reggae , northern , soul originals and reissues also an info center for gig's and flyers and ticket purchases , books and fine cigars. pipe tabacco.s , pipes , and classic fag's like senior service , capstan full strenth and park drive ect.Good luck my freind best regards Simon.
