Here is some information on some of the buying we have done recently:

1) I'm not sure if you remember but a few years ago I bought an absolutely huge collection from a friend of mine in Nottingham that was one of the best collections we've ever bought. Well my pal had started buying again but decided to let it all go. It was around 1500 records, mostly LPs and 12"s but a few 10s and 7"s too. It's an absolutely brilliant collection thats made up of Italian Progressive Rock, Strictly Rhythm, Post Punk, Zeuhl, Synth Pop, Garage House, Acid House, Dub, Spiritual Jazz, Electro, Boom Bap, Rave, Balearic Chuggers, Drone, Punk, Roots Reggae, Dancehall, Avant Garde, Modern Composition etc. Lots of great LPs and 12"s from Keith Hudson, Magma, Robert Wyatt, Scientist, Raekwon, Adonis, The Zombies, Barrington Levy, Wu Tang Clan, Steve Reich, Cabaret Voltaire, The Doors, The Normal, Soft Cell, The Fall, Television Personalities etc. Its an amazing collection, and the titles are flying out!
