It's gone nuts everywhere.
The record fair was a good time. Picked up a few decent copies of stuff way down my list of wants. Nothing from the top of my list, not available at any price. Saw a few completely battered copies of records I wanted in battered sleeves for £20. Ended up spending £300 fairly wisely, would have cost a lot more with separate delivery added.
Got the new Blood Orange LP - Negro Swan arriving today, should be interesting to see if there's much between it and the Tidal version. I don't go in much for the new releases but occasionally I like an album enough.
Bandcamp is doing good business in the merch table style. A lot of bands selling small runs of vinyl to fans direct.
Incredible... And I thought the price of vinyl had only gone nuts in Oz...
That said, the last two LPs I got were given to me but they were both selling for AU$25 on their respective merch tables... Pretty cheap...
I bought a couple of copies of the same single recently and they were AU$38n inc P&P... Then I saw the same single selling for US$7 at Goner in Memphis... I felt like a schmuck, could've bought them there and got them mailed here for not much more... And got a t-shirt, stickers and a few other bits I've been after but have put off because of ridiculous shipping charges...
