    Record Shop Day is here for us to appreciate the wonderful pastime of flicking through albums, searching for bargains, finding something new, or perhaps something old that we lost a long time ago and completely forgot about. It’s an opportunity for us to reminisce, to share, and to ponder.

    Most of all, record shops allow us to take time out of our day and quietly enjoy who we are. Tastes and inspirations are specific to each of us, so let’s celebrate this individuality in a place filled with music and artwork, and where there’s always a human being to ask for a recommendation.

    They also provide the service of keeping weird people off the streets.

    Back in the '60s my sis and I were two of those irritating people who spent hours in the little cubicle at Windows, Newcastle, listening to the latest singles but never buying anything.

  7. I used to love the old style record shops where you could listen to it before you bought it. I bought my first single in NEMS in Liverpool (do want a 78 or 45?) in 1958 - the store owned by Brian Epstein later the manager of the Beatles .
