As this is designed to let you see below the surface of the team here, rather than being merely another product page, I have decided to wax lyrical about a typical day at Esprit Towers.
The day begins with a flurry of rushing around (normally to get that first coffee!) then settles to deal with the treasures of the day.
The beauty of this is that every day is a surprise & the only thing that you can be certain of is that your day will be unlikely to remain as you planned it the night before. One phone call & one of our devoted buyer team could be suddenly sent out on the road to collect more rarities for you all, forcing a re-juggle of tasks. They could then come back with something amazing and change the priorities of everything that you are doing. You have to be very flexible, but you are seldom bored!
During the day you will see a plethora of items pass before your eyes, everything from ancient legendary vinyl such as the near mythical
Arnold Layne demo 7" to the cosmic grooviness of your very own
Iron Maiden incense sticks .
Occasionally you will pass some strange twilight creatures muttering about something called 'football' or the even stranger ones with permanent bags under their eyes keeping our IT systems going.
A brief interlude to harass the very busy packaging area to see if our next shipment of the amazing books by
Yuri Grishin have arrived then back to your desk to see what goodies you will be dealing with today.
It's frantic, it's busy, it's fun. We do it because we want to.
Hopefully in all of this, we manage to find that missing item for your collection.
Keep checking the
Latest Arrivals page as that's where the fruits of our labours will scroll before you.
Til next time ...

Laura Stoneman - UK and Import Releases Good things come to those who wait....... Good Evening World!!gig , I thought I'd better give you all a much over-due update. SIGUR ROS Heima
In 2006, having toured the world over in support of their 'Takk' album, Sigur Ros returned home to play a series of free, unannounced concerts in Iceland. 'Heima' is a unique record of that tour filmed in over 13 different locations across the island, taking in the biggest and smallest shows of the band's career.
After much speculation and rumour the Spice Girls announced their reunion tour and Greatest Hits album to the world's media this summer.

Peter Fenton - North American Office Whooooaaaa, We're Half Way There... Hi Everyone. Last Saturday, Jon Bon Jovi hosted the venerable American TV show Saturday Night Live to stretch his comedy muscles, and was also joined on-stage by Bon Jovi for a performance well worthy of the band's enduring legacy. It's difficult to remember a time when Bon Jovi wasn't seein' a million faces, and rockin' 'em all! They've been a top seller for us since the beginning, and we've been proud to offer only the coolest items for Bon Jovi fans and collectors. The preeminent new Jovi item, just added TODAY, is this amazing, FULLY AUTOGRAPHED STAGG GUITAR , beautifully signed and complete with its carrying case, strap, cables, amp, whammy bar and and even a spare set of strings and a CD-ROM! It's absolutely authentic, spectacular, and certainly one-of-a-kind! If Karera is more your style, check out this impressive FULLY AUTOGRAPHED KARERA GUITAR . Once these are gone, they are GONE! You'll have but one chance to RUNAWAY with a guitar... but if you miss out, you'll be IN AND OUT OF LOVE... So KEEP THE FAITH and LAY YOUR HANDS ON... a totally rockin' guitar! Have a great week, everyone. <... [reply to this topic

Richard Austin - UK Office Christmas Gift Ideas Fed up with all those 'normal' tunes ? Fancy something a bit sticky bun ?
Sadly, the
Ginger Geezer is no longer with us, but the legacy of the man & his chums lives on [as do a great deal of the chums too].
I'm not even going to tell you what you should be rushing out to buy TODAY naughty .
Suffice to say that the good people at EMI have released special 2007 remasters of five of the finest albums ever released and, having now listened to two of the five, they are wonderful.
If you haven't got
these albums you deserve to be swung by your toes over a pit of mating porcupines.
So there !

Richard Austin - UK Office Live Tori, anyone ? Toriamos.com is making available a series of complete shows for download in either lossy MP3 or (here's the good news) lossless
FLAC format.
About time more people started doing this. I think that bands are now realising that far from 'killing music', this kind of thing is superb promotion and actually results in more sales rather than less.
So, once you've pulled down the live show of your choice
HERE , you can visit our Collectors Store to pick up the bits of the back catalogue that you're missing - Win-Win !

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer Julian et Steve en Paris..... Unfortunately the record fair was more than a little disappointing, the items we looked at were either far too expensive or not up to our strict condition requirements, so unwilling to compromise our standards we left empty handed - even the legendary Jambon Baguettes were absent, having been replaced by prepacked soggy sandwiches!
Luckily an independant dealer saved the day and made the trip worthwhile. We purchased some cool items including a French Kinks LP, Village Green Preservation Society in a unique sleeve plus early Smiths posters, a Sordid Sentimental 7" by Throbbing Gristle and a rare French Hendrix LP. As usual check the latest arrivals as these items will be appearing on the site over the next couple of days.
