Shop local, shop Soundclash Records

Just in the process of starting (again) to digitise some vinyl (and heck is THAT going to take a long time!) got me thinking about the amount of vinyl I'd amassed over the years and a source of much of it - Soundclash Records in St Benedict's Street in Norwich. Started probaly back in the late 80s it emerged from Back's Records on Lower Gate Lane and is a traditional non-chain shop with vinyl (still) and knowledgeable staff. Paul generally gets a copy of the each of the new Kent / Ace CDs and whilst he can't compete on price with the corporates at least he still stocks the good stuff and you don't have to explain to someone what RnB really is!! He also sells tickets for UEA / Waterfront gigs and charges only the absolute minimum in fees / add ons he has to.

Asell as the usual Kent / ACE suspects he has or can get the Jazzman and similar reissue singles on lovely seven inch. Whilst I've not had a thorough oook there is also a parallel downloads section should you want to avoid the Apple Corp and associated alternatives.

Anyway, back to digitisng Acid Jazz "Totally Wired Vol.1" - number 7 done - only another half dozen to go...
