Where you brought your first record or what former musician worked or was seen in the shop. You can leave comments on the forum or on the British Record Shop Archive.
I think I may be part of the "vinyl generation" but I never knew much about our "habitat," as I only purchased two or three records in my life, one being Olivia Newton John's "Totally Hot." I have no idea where.

I never ever buy music now (my high rolling music purchasing days are over), but I'm curious where I'd go in my community if I wished to find a record.

The only place I know about is the public library, because recently there was a book sale where records were also sold. I struck up a conversation with a woman who had purchased lots of records (old, of course). Turned out her husband sells them online.

The words Idiotic, attention seeking and creepy would be some of them, but it's not breaking any actual forum rules.
I think another word for s_k would be this one:

friendly!

Yes, yes, I know...it may be hard to remember the adjective that matches this rare online behavior.

s_k has a great vinyl browsing location. I've seen it! And his whole house. Great place. If I were in his country, that's where I'd go to find records because his house should count as a browsing record emporium...and as a bonus, it has a cat!
