Indie Record Stores

“Record Store UK” was a nationwide event that was scheduled for the 18th April but obviously didn’t go ahead.
There is great interest nowadays in vinyl records, cassette tapes and other means of recording music that had been thought of as being largely defunct and this has spawned a wealth of smaller, independent retailers dealing in them.
Vinyl Attraction in Newark had not been opened long and suddenly had to close again due to the lockdown. The window is always very interesting, with many discs and memorabilia featuring many groups and names from my youth, even some records that I actually owned.
The event is put back to June and, as yet, no news as to if it will actually happen.
Happy Window Wednesday!
Yes, they still exist here and there. <3

Our youngest daughter turned 21 this week and I had her out for a photo shoot to commemorate this momentous occasion...here at Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence, KS. This is one of my favorite places to visit in Lawrence and I figured this would be a good location for a few photos. These images taken with my Canon F1N with a FD 28mm lens.

I missed them during the quarantine closure, but since reopening with excellent safety measures, I've begun decolonizing my record collection here.
When MAXIE was Waxie. The assistant manager & manager admire their handiwork. The Jackson 5 Victory poster would place this around 1984. I spent way too much time wasting money on records. Too other vinyl junkies, I still think vinyl records are a beautiful thing, the quality is too variable, CD is cleaner, and maybe superior. This nasty looking picture recovered from a trip to the garbage. It was shot on a Minolta 35mm camera SRT, manual focus film camera. Bad photography is it's own reward. I "Flashed the Negative", I was so cheap I would shoot a negative before the exposure numbers. The negative was nearly opaque, the lab thought the roll unprintable, they were almost correct ... flic.kr/p/2oFJK1m

House of Oldies #recordstore was founded by Bob Abramson in 1968. He told us that "I have never handled cassettes, 8-tracks or CDs just #records. Business in the last year has increased for me because vinyl is back!" We love thus store which is jam packed with thousands of full albums and 45s which are all in mint condition. Full interview and photo appear in our book Store Front II. To hear more about this wonderful #momandpop #storefront please come to our FREE book event at Rizzoli Bookstore @rizzolibookstore Monday, November 23rd at 5:30-7pm.

This is Fopps record store on Cambridge Circus, London.
The company began as a one-man stall in Glasgow, Scotland in 1981. The name "Fopp" comes from the title of a song by the Ohio Players on their 1975 album Honey.
The first Fopp store was a market stall in Decourcey's Arcade near Byres Road in Glasgow opened 1981 by Gordon Montgomery. Fopp operated a "keep-it-simple" approach to the pricing of its merchandise, with most prices rounded to whole-pound figures. It built a reputation for reasonable prices on new releases, and competitive prices (often £5) on non-mainstream catalogue CDs, DVDs and books. The company also had a policy called "suck it and see", whereby any purchase could be returned to the shop within 28 days for a full refund as long as it was as new.
By 2007, Fopp had expanded to become a chain of over 100 branches in the UK. With the demise of rival chain Music Zone, Fopp became the third largest specialist music retailer in the UK in terms of store numbers (after HMV and Virgin Megastores).
Having taken over rival chain Music Zone following its fall into administration, Fopp found itself with cash flow problems. The company cancelled book deliveries in June blaming a change in location of warehouse from Bristol to Stockport (the old Music Zone warehouse).
On 29 June 2007 Fopp called in receivers after a last-ditch deal that would have allowed Sir Richard Branson a way to devolve himself from the loss making Virgin Megastores without the negative PR of closing down multiple locations, but this deal failed to win support from Virgin's main supplier.
On 31 July 2007, it was announced that HMV would take control of the Fopp brand and its stores in Cambridge, Edinburgh Rose Street (but not Cockburn Street), Glasgow, London Covent Garden, Manchester and Nottingham. On 12 February 2008, Bristol Evening Post reported that a further store would open in Bristol (in a former HMV-owned Waterstone's store), a city in which three Fopp stores had traded prior to summer 2007.
It was also announced that the Leamington Spa store would be reopening as Head, a separate store from Fopp, but retaining Fopp's stock and assets.[5] The Head store opened on 1 November 2007 and employed some of its predecessor's former employees. The store intends to host regular performances from local bands, and hopes to allow musicians, artists and authors from Leamington and its surrounding areas to sell their work there. This was initially a single store, but has more recently expanded into a chain of four sites.
At their peak under HMV ownership, nine stores were trading as Fopp.
On 15 January 2013 Fopp, along with its parent company HMV went into administration.
HMV was bought out of administration by Hilco UK on 5 April 2013 saving Fopp's nine remaining stores.
