They are a band that listens to each other when playing, they bring energy and are all top notch experts at their crafts. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band or just booking a solid gig! (10/10) Amir Gabriel Also Read 10 Gift Ideas for the Discerning Vinyl Enthusiast Val at door. Beware the record troll of Upper Darby, PA! Credit: Steve Ditlea VINYL MAY BE FINAL NAIL IN CD’S COFFIN ran the headline in a Wired magazine article in October 2007.

Freighted with encyclopaedic knowledge, this intriguing tome encapsulates an unshakeable sense of purpose and often extraordinary encounters with, say, staff of a second-hand record store in Nuneaton inhabited by a ghost, and the author's own paranormal experience beside a statue of Screaming Lord Sutch, subject of his 2005 biography. On TV, he covered 29 wars and conflicts during almost three decades as a BBC Foreign Correspondent and Presenter. More pragmatically, Sharpe, in his former office as Media Relations at William Hill bookmakers, initiated betting on both the Christmas Number One, and the outcome of the Mercury Music Prize.There is nothing like being surrounded by my record library of 7 and 12 inch records. It is a real privilege to be choosing some to play for you.

You were absolutely fabulous, brilliant musicians and Maidenhead Ivy Leaf has never witnessed such a great lively evening. Thank you all so much." Maureen 2019 You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs. Compare Standard and Premium Digital here. Nah, Bowie’s never been in here. Most people who come in I don’t know who they are. The other day these guys say we’re with Jazzy Jeff, can you close the store down? I said I don’t have to–nobody comes in anyway. Let me ask you a question, which one is Jazzy?”You want to count them?” Val’s voice and diction would fit into a movie starring The Three Stooges, who grew up not far from here. “I never counted them all.” Each guest’s nominations will be shared the week before each show, to give everyone a chance to listen to that week’s choices; a great opportunity to explore new albums, revisit familiar ones and vote for your favourite. Later episodes may even involve University staff…! That’s why he’s aware of one celebrity visitor–musician / historian / griot and drummer for The Roots and TV’s “The Jimmy Fallon Show” band. “Questlove comes in here. A lot of people don’t know his dad was Lee Andrews.” For those not familiar with the name, Lee Andrews & the Hearts were one of the classic Philadelphia doo-wop groups of the 1950s. I did, but nobody liked it. I asked people you like three, you like five? How about four million? Go ahead, do it. That’s how it happened.” It's also a thoughtful rumination on the collector's mentality and the psychological investment in objects. If you replace a record you'd loved and lost, like-for-like, is it really the same thing? Why is it so difficult to divest yourself of those you'll certainly never play again? What will happen to your collection when you're gone? Sharpe, who, working at William Hill came up with the concept of betting on the Christmas No.1 (how's that for a crossover of interests?) ponders on all these things.

In his shop at age 77, Val keeps bringing up the imminent death of his business. “ When I started out—most of my customers were in high school or college. Now they’re making funeral arrangements. They’re all dying. It’s all over. Nobody’s buying these records. Who comes in here anymore?” He does get new walk-in customers, different from the aging fanatic collectors (mostly male and nerdy) of harmony groups who made his business successful. “Now we get women who are D.J.’s who play soul and dance music. They like playing old 45s and they’re young and they look nice.” But there won’t be enough reinforcements to keep his store going as older buyers disappear. Former BBC Foreign Correspondent and radio presenter Jonathan Charles has joined K107fm for a weekly show. The Music Department is launching a new hour-long webshow, Vinyl Countdown, on Thursday 11 Feb at 2pm, broadcasting on its YouTube channel. At home, Val’s private collection of 11,000 singles has attracted the interest of the Library of Congress, which could buy the lot to preserve in its recorded sound collection. The four million slabs of vinyl surrounding him in his store face an uncertain future. There are just too many for any of the dozen public or educational institutions with popular culture collections to acquire.Val doesn’t recognize anyone from TV, let alone local rap legends like the Fresh Prince’s DJ, unless there’s a connection to the Golden Age of 45s. Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? His front door features a DO NOT ENTER traffic sign with “unless you know what you want” added in small print. The walk-in trade isn’t what it used to be (he’s been at this spot since 1990), but Val won’t tolerate timewasters. There’s just not enough room. He’ll be on the Kirkcaldy-based station with his son Max, hosting The Vinyl Countdown show each Saturday at midday.

Each week, a group of panellists will be invited into the virtual studio to talk about their nominated album – why they chose it, what they love about it, why it’s important to them – with the other guests, and then at the end of the show, guests and live viewers will be invited to vote for their favourite, resulting in Album of the Week. Jonathan says: “I love radio and music on vinyl. It’s great to be bringing those two passions together on K107 FM. I spent three decades on local and national radio and television and wherever I travelled in the world, I always took music with me. We are a Data Controller of your information.

Not a hit when first released, “Golden Teardrops” gained its reputation from word-of-mouth by a small group of avid collectors, prodded by a handful of dealers, including Val.

I should pull out ‘Golden Teardrops’ by the Flamingos. Everybody likes that. It’s a classic. It’s over there in those boxes with the rare records.”
