As you can get back catalogues of bands and new major (yes, including Dis tastes) releases online and from HMV pretty cheaply.

I'm not counting second hand record shops here- they are essential to finding old bargains too.

No i'm talking about records shops conetrating on 'alternative' music.

I reckon people would be much more willing to revisit shops that concentrated on purchasing new releases direct from labels, not distros. Smaller labels may give better terms like sale-or-return which will reduce overheads and you are more likely to find exclusive releases at your local.

yeh?

neh?

meh?
