Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer DOH!
The shipment from Texas arrived safely at the UK office on Friday but I was in sunny (but bloody cold) Blackpool for a few days so I wasn't here to sort through it. Peter and I had worked like maniacs whilst in Texas pricing and researching as much stuff as possible before shipping so although I wasn't here in person to answer questions, a large portion of the shipment has been added in my abscence. Of course that's not to say that all the gems are there for the taking, far from it! There's probably still 100 items in need of research and pricing. I will do my best to get everything sorted over the next couple of days so that the entire shipment should be on the site by the weekend.
What's still to sort? Well there are lots of Mobile Fidelity vinyl LP's including some we've never stocked before such as Derek & The Dominos In Concert plus titles by The Moody Blues, Kenny Rogers and Rod Stewart to name a few - many still sealed! Also there are still a lot of original US vinyls from the 70's that are still sealed - they are always popular, but are getting harder to find. Finally (for now) I have a fully autographed Sepultura 'Roots' box set which will no doubt fly out.
Don't hesitate on any of this stuff as so many of the items added to the site from this shipment have sold already, including both the Madonna autographed items plus the Beatles Sgt Pepper Mobile Fidelity Box and the factory sealed original US Christmas album!

Have a spare wall?
QUEEN Jazz This Superb display piece is the original LP inner sleeve which has been fully AUTOGRAPHED by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor in a black ball point pen across their own part of the image. This is housed with several sleeve cuts created by the previous owner who has framed and glazed it in a 12" black square sourround. Complete and genuine sets of Queen signatures are getting ever harder to find, with most fake or incomplete - Be assured this is the real deal!!

Saul Watson - Product Promotion Richard Austin - UK Office Happy Celtic New Year ! Well, the broom is back in the closet for another year :-)
I've obviously been listening to a little too much
Jeff Beck recently as I was persuaded to purchase a nice Fender Strat yesterday - The fourth I've owned over the years. For some reason I always ended up trading them for something, regretted it, & then bought another only to trade that for something & regret it again.
This time (I tell myself) it's for keeps.
They're such versatile toys that I've really missed not having one around the house.
Time to remind myself what silly things you can do on electrics again - I shall have to practice that pained expression that you have to pull when tweaking that perfect note during your twenty minute guitar solo ...
Luckily for the world (and my neighbours) I'm more of a rhythm guy than a multi note noodler though I do confess to the odd noodle from time to time.
Can't afford it, but what the hey. Never stopped me from buying a guitar before.
See you at the soup kitchen.

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer Howdy Y' all
It's been a year since the last Austin Record Show and both Peter and I were nervous as to what to expect there in terms of decent quality stock and how many other people would be there looking for a bargain.
The weather was great, days were warm but not hot, the evenings cool but not cold and there was less humidity than in previous trips, but enough about that. I'm guessing that anyone reading this is more interested in what cool items we found than in what the weather was like and what places we ate at (check Peter's recent entry if you are interested though).
The answer is we found A LOT of great items, too many to list them all here. The bulk of the shipment should be arriving at the UK office on Friday but a few items are already here and on the website.
If I had to choose my favourite items of the trip they would have to be the great selection of David Bowie original 1960's and early '70's UK white label demo 7"s -
Space Oddity ,
Prettiest Star , the Laughing Gnome,
Memory Of A Free Festival ,
Holy Holy . Also whilst on Bowie, we also picked up both promo and stock copy of the highly desirable
Rubber Band 7". ALL of these 7" are in perfect MINT condition.
If Bowie isn't your thing, how about The Rolling Stones legendary
The Promotional Album , seldom seen this is only the second time we've seen this in good enough condition to stock. Collectors who are familiar with this item know that they are quite often wrecked!

Laura Stoneman - UK and Import Releases Pinch Punch 1st day of the Month....... Hello all. Time for another update; when I last spoke to you, I was just about to go and travel upto Camden, London to see Editors at Koko . For those who were either there or saw footage of it online or on TV, I think you will agree with me when I say that they were flippin' brilliant. Their live show is fantastic. I am now planning on getting some tickets for their newly announced UK tour in March 2008 which I am looking forward too and would easily recommend that you go and see them. You won't regret it!! BRING ON ARCADE FIRE IN 2 WEEKS.....Anyhow, back to business. And WOW, have I got some lovely new titles for you all including: THE KILLERS Sawdust
The Killers will release brand new single, 'Tranquilize'. The single features the band's Brandon Flowers in a duet with Lou Reed, and is taken from the band's forthcoming album of B-sides and rarities, 'Sawdust', which is itself set for release on November 12th. The band will be breaking with usual protocol by making the track available to buy just hours after it airs as a worldwide exclusive on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show at 7pm.

Saul Watson - Product Promotion Planet Rock News
The UK dates are set to be revealed in the coming weeks and as soon as we have them we'll let you know - but you can expect them to arrive this side of the pond some time in the Spring or Summer after the North American leg finishes in April.
Metallica Look To The 80s: Metallica have looked to the 80s for inspiration on their forthcoming new album…but don’t expect any shoulder pads and seagull haircuts just yet.
Speaking to examiner.com, Lars has said that the new album is very nearly complete and with only a few vocal mixes to sort out, it should be ready for release in February.
In the interview the outspoken drummer says that the sound is very much inspired by their own 80s material such as Master of Puppets or Kill ‘Em All, suggesting an epic but aggressive sound rather than the overlong, post-metal dirge of St Anger.
In the interview Ulrich also revealed several of the song titles including ‘19’, ‘10’, ‘German Soup’, ‘Glass Cow’ and ‘Black Squirrel’ – although he adds that these are working titles only and are based upon the circumstances in which they were conceived, rather than the theme of the song (e.g. Glass Cow = Glasgow), which is a shame because a Metallica song about German soup would surely be awesome.
Jeff Beck's Residency: Jeff Beck is taking up a 5 night residency at the newly refurbished Ronnie Scotts in London at the end of November.
The former Yardbird’s guitarist has played some massive venues in his 4 decade career and still tours extensively so this will be a rare opportunity to witness one of the world’s very best and most respected guitarists play in such an intimate venue (no seat is more that 50ft from the artist).
Featuring a band consisting of drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, keyboardist Jason Rebello, and young bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, the dates will see the band performing a range of material from the guitarists 40 year career.

Peter Fenton - North American Office food... Food... FOOD!!! Howdy From Texas, Y'all! I like to visit Texas for the records, but I LOVE to visit Texas for the food. My favorite restaurant for traditional Texas BBQ is a little, out-of-the way place called Kreutz Market in Lockhart. I'm not averse to eating at a national chain restaurant, as long as the food is good... and Texas Roadhouse definitely fits that bill! In Austin, I always make sure to stop by Threadgill's , which was a favorite hangout of Janis Joplin back in the day. A Southern delicacy I always crave, but rarely find when I'm not in the South is authentic collard greens -- if I had the skill to cook them up in the traditional southern style myself, I'd never eat anything else! I know it may be neither glamorous nor exciting to many, but another top gastronomic Texan destination for me is the flagship store for [reply to this topic
