Loads of us on here. Unlike you streamers, I buy lots of vinyl and CDs. Until recently, a 2nd hand CD would be a few of your English pounds on Amazon. Now, sellers are often asking £400 or more. What's happening ?

There was something about getting a brand new LP years ago, I literally used to sniff the Inside of the sleeve before getting the record out and playing It. That certain smell was magical and holding a new LP In your hand was just so exciting. My last ''sniff'' I think was *Meddle* by Pink Floyd, (early 1970's) **One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces.** Nobody has got time anymore, everything now has to be Instant. Send me a text or send me an email or stand In front of the entrance to Sainsbury's and block the entrance whilst you stare at your screen of your bastard mobile bloody phone wondering why nobody In the world has contacted you In the last Five minutes.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Aah Sellanby’s, just round the corner from where my dad lived. Happy memories of that shop - buying and selling
Great shop. Could pick up albums to try and sell back the ones you weren't so keen on. Made some beer money over the years by taking unused stuff there. They used to actually give you a half decent price for stuff too.

i rarely download and prefer a hard copy, a lp vinyl is more tangible, you can admire the artwork, and the smell of a new lp is something i still recall, cds are ok, i don't care what we were told but they can fail to play and jump or stick. i have every jam/style council/weller release and ebay ask for some lps , 300 quid, go to a jam site and the same goes for 80 quid. an inflated market. if the ebay prices are real and i can get those prices, i am going to do well!

I'm an avid record collector. I have cds too but in the past either sold or even skipped cds.
In terms of vinyl though I basically popped mine (majority) and my wife's records into discogs over a week. It basically consists of 5892 items with a median cost of 112,141 euros... at max value i could put a great deposit for a house in Surrey.
I collect all sorts but I'm mainly a 45 collector.
In terms of LPs I'm not fussed about first pressings, reissues and even bootlegs are fine for me... but 45s need to be originals
I like cds and tapes too.
But vinyl destination is where I'm at.

As for sellanbys I remember riding the aforementioned Raleigh Chopper there when I was 14 or 15. Im talking about the one in Eastcote. I bought a cd of Suicide's first album just cos I liked the cover.
Remember literally stopping with fear when the discman got to the song Frankie Teardrop it was the first time music really perplexed and even scared me.... I literally stopped the bike and questioned reality for 5 minutes before riding back to Hillingdon.

Regarding Sellanbys. Me and a mate popped in after Harrow Boro one Sat afternoon. I’d mentioned an album I was after. We both stood there flicking through and he only plucked it out. Bastard. This was a long time ago and I offered him £20. No chance, and he took it home; I was gutted. He moved to Sweden and came back last year for a 60th. Had a good catch up about the usuals and we all went home, my mate back to Scandinavia. Three days later, I received a package through the post and gave it to my wife as I hadn’t ordered anything - she gave it back to me. My mate had sent me the record he found in Sellanbys 40 years ago.
Not selling that one.
Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

I have around 250 original vinyl including my first ever LP (Getting To This by Blodwyn Pig) but only one 45 (The Snake/ Do it by The Pink Fairies). There are a few rarities among them but also Battle Hymns For Children Singing by Hayzee Fantayzee I also have over 300 CD's still and nearly 1000 DVD/ Blu Rays. Does anyone remember the record store by the Green, near the 207/207A terminus, which had listening booths inside where you could listen through headphones before buying?

A lot of my vinyl still have Sellanby’s price tags on them . My late father in law used to spend days lost in there by all accounts. He had an extensive vinyl collection right across all musical genres. For cd’s and newer releases I used to go to a shop called Jammin’ with Edward in Harrow. Proper old Rock and heavy metal store .
I still love buying vinyl and I used to be a bit of a collector but its few and far between now as it’s just ridiculously expensive . I don’t think I’ve put an actual cd on for years
