I haven't been feeling particularly well lately so there's not been much action here on the site. Apologies for that.

Some quick store news:

The Daptone vinyl has been selling extremely well. I think we're down to one copy left of each item so if you were planning on picking some up, now's the time. Not sure I'll be able to swing this price again (though of course, I'll try!). I still haven't received CDs of this stuff (it's coming from a different supplier), but hopefully real soon.

Same goes for the Digitalis stuff. I think there's at most one copy left of anything that's not already sold out. I absolutely will not be putting the next batch out at that low of a price. Snatch 'em up!

Root Strata has finally confirmed that they've shipped us our order... unfortunately, it's not complete so will be missing a few items I was quite looking forward to. Arggh. However, there will be some Grouper in there.

In the next I'm not sure, we'll have some CD copies of what is probably my favorite country album of the past quarter century: The Star Room Boys - Why Do Lonely Men and Women Want to Break Each Others' Hearts? I play it all the time and every time I do, people want to buy it. Unfortunately, it's not once come into the store used and bringing in new copies has been unbelievably difficult. Assuming my source comes through, we should have 10 copies on hand to sell before spring arrives. I'll of course announce it here when I find out more.

I took a scoot through the used stock today and we've got a bunch of great stuff in at the moment. I didn't write anything down, but here's a few things off the top of my pounding head:

CDs

- The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles Vol. 3, 1972 - 1975 (10 discs)
- The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 3, 1963 (5 discs)
- Terry Reid - Super Lungs - Complete Studio Recordings 66 - 69, and Silver White Light
- Robert Wyatt - Theatre Royal Drury Lane
- Pizzicato 5 (two diff CDs)
- Tindersticks - Donkeys
- Beck - Stereopathetic Soul Manure
- Celexico - three diff CDs
- Health - s/t
- Wild Thing - Songs of Chip Taylor
- George Jones - Don't Stop the Music (my fave Jones compilation)
- Alan Lomax's Southern Journey 6 - Delta Country Blues


Some great Japanese CD imports:

- Massive Attack - Blue Lines and Protection
- New York Dolls - s/t

Vinyl

There was also a bunch of new used vinyl but my head's starting to hurt again so I'm-a gonna step away from the computer. The biggie that jumps to mind is the Ltd Edition version of Radiohead's In Rainbows. It's 2 CDs, a 12" booklet of photos, and two 45 RPM 12" records in a slip case. Far as I can recall this was only available through the Radiohead website as a pre-order item so it's outta print.
