One of my earliest memories was of this shop.
We had a piano off them, must have been early 70s , my sister learnt on it......and she now has it in northern ireland.

Rather more recently (millenium) I inherited my Grans (old Waldemar) piano.
I had it tuned by a local (blind)tuner. I was talking around the subject to him at the time and describing the family piano from Bath, the shop on the bridge. He said without hesitation "Duck Son and Pinker?".
I was only recalling this conversation last week.

I know this all going a bit off topic I recently had a 1904 briarwood pianola, been in the family from new and was in pristine condition. As a straight piano it was up there with the best of them. But it was Time for it to go (Big heavy bugger) and would you believe, I had to give it away.
I was told by several specialist paino dealers no demand, not worth a penny.

I know.
I've seen a few on freecycle, that shoiuldn't have been.
I had a second one that ended up in my garage. I needed the space and thought it was going to have to come apart. Thank God it did e bay.......for a penny.
I 've had many a conversation with my Dad on how the high street shops can surivive with the online revolution.
Only if you are like your name and Rich is it. They are usually above average prices, only to be used as a last resort, like for that illusive Robert Poss record unavailable anywhere else.

Not in a 'My Merzbow is bigger than your Merzbow' way?
As well as the Spillers there, Cardiff is also blessed with Catapult, Kellys, D'Vinyl and The Record Shop is it.

Infuriate the frog-men
Went over the Severn Bridge today and visited this one, got a couple of vinyls, not too much for me is it. There are two other record stalls/shops adjacent with rock/metal.
I had better luck with the Rise up Park St, lots there, some bargains. If you are a Sun Ra fan there were loads of vinyls available there.
But overall I would still choose Cheltenham Road. Brizzle now has 8 vinyl shops on the go!

Report from York. Err not a lot. Only Replay open down Gillygate; that one along from Ye Olde Adult Shoppe has gone (Ark?). However...
...great vinyl fun to be had at Racecourse boot fair. Grabbed a minty Smiths 12" for a fiver, a rare Ginny Astley 7", an Ex/Ex Cost of Living E.P and the Smiths Headmaster Ritual Record Store Day thingummy. Try getting them ****ers on iTunes! Slim pickings in charity shops though with just an Edwyn Collins cassette single for 30 of the Queen's pence.
