As Ian mentions above definitely worth investing in some cleaning materials for your stylus and vinyl , makes a great deal of difference not just by reducing wear but enhancing your listening experience. . Cheers, Neil. I've got a carbon fibre cleaning brush and something for cleaning the stylus too (basically a wee bit of foam in a container that you drop the needle onto then raise and repeat - not sure how it works, to be honest). I also bought EcoMoist vinyl cleaner. It works very well for cleaning up old vinyl and removing fingerprints, etc. It came with a microfibre cloth. So hopefully I'm all set. Now all I need to do is stop ordering albums before I empty our bank account.... Edited July 4, 2017 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Went into Fopp in Byers Rd yesterday , their vinyl stock has increased dramatically since my last visit . It's not just the well known classic albums of yesteryear now , they also a great selection of contemporary artists on vinyl too which is great . Also the Back to Black series has been extended to include exact original album covers . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had B2B 180gm version of Unknown Pleasures which had a textured sleeve , apparently the original cover . My copy was bought in the early 8ts but doesn't have that. . i haven't been around to De Courcy's since 2014 but on that visit Lost in Music was very busy. I also found a second hand vinyl shop on Pollockshaws Rd ( close to the junction with Alison St) called Otherside Records last week . It isnae cheep but had some good stuff and as far as I know LP Records on Park Rd ( near Byers Rd) is still open for trade. .of course if you are over in Paisley worth popping in and having a look in the Record Market in the West End. .
