Northern Soul Uk Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Nice to hear of a record shop opening after the 1000s (including mine) that have closed over the last 10 years or so due to either the drop in vinyl sales or economic difficulties. Well done!! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Souljer6 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Looks like this is just around the corner from the old Ralphs record shop-----where a certain Mr Shard spent his formative years------when he should have been in school---tut tut. To the extent that the school accepted his sick notes signed by the guy behind the counter, believing it to be his mam's signature!! Lucky for him he had a reliable fellow pupil to copy from---------------otherwise, instead of A levels Rod's only qualifications might have been a handful of TMG demos. (was looking for the scratching head icon;would have fitted in perfectly here 'cos thinking about it, maybe the demos would have served him better!) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Modernsoulsucks Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thank you to everybody except Souljer6 whose recollections of our school years are somewhat distorted. For months I thought his first name was Xerox as he was always copying my extremely well-written essays. The fact that he was doing Economics and I was doing History didn't appear to occur to him. And his public school background was a constant source of embarrassment. Having a fag behind the bike sheds took on a whole new dimension where he was concerned. I didn't know where to look. The shop is open but right now it is mainly albums with around 400 cheaper 45s. When Dave gets back from the USA the plan is to get a lot more 45s in there.

Modernsoulsucks Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just a quick progress report on the shop.It is beginning to pick up particularly as regards album and 12" sales.The 45s comprise a smaller selection but as the Skegness shop shuts at the end of this month there will be a large influx of 45s coming in soon. From £5 and up.To give some idea today I added Lorraine Chandler, Pete Warner, Larry Brown, Billy Watkins, Joanne Baker, Styles, Hattie Winston, Themes, Bobby Paris, James Walsh and a few others. All originals of course.I'd like to thank all the people who have been down so far. Your custom is really appreciated.ThanksROD 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bunderthollox Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 will be on for a visit here very soon...has the whole operation shifted from Skeggy then? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dont have a wasted journey! It appears the Shop has now closed which is a shame. Went there yesterday & there was just an empty unit! Maybe someone can enlighten us as to when & why it has closed & whether it may reappear at a new location at some point in the future. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bunderthollox Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Phew thanks for heads up! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modernsoulsucks Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Sorry lads. Trouble with new landlord and to be frank poor sales meant that it wasn't feasible to carry on. Apologies for not posting earlier but it meant also some upheaval in personal life. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
