About this deal

You want to count them?” Val’s voice and diction would fit into a movie starring The Three Stooges, who grew up not far from here. “I never counted them all.” More pragmatically, Sharpe, in his former office as Media Relations at William Hill bookmakers, initiated betting on both the Christmas Number One, and the outcome of the Mercury Music Prize. Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? He’ll be on the Kirkcaldy-based station with his son Max, hosting The Vinyl Countdown show each Saturday at midday.

At home, Val’s private collection of 11,000 singles has attracted the interest of the Library of Congress, which could buy the lot to preserve in its recorded sound collection. The four million slabs of vinyl surrounding him in his store face an uncertain future. There are just too many for any of the dozen public or educational institutions with popular culture collections to acquire. You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs. Compare Standard and Premium Digital here. VINYL MAY BE FINAL NAIL IN CD’S COFFIN ran the headline in a Wired magazine article in October 2007.You were absolutely fabulous, brilliant musicians and Maidenhead Ivy Leaf has never witnessed such a great lively evening. Thank you all so much." Maureen 2019

I should pull out ‘Golden Teardrops’ by the Flamingos. Everybody likes that. It’s a classic. It’s over there in those boxes with the rare records.” Freighted with encyclopaedic knowledge, this intriguing tome encapsulates an unshakeable sense of purpose and often extraordinary encounters with, say, staff of a second-hand record store in Nuneaton inhabited by a ghost, and the author's own paranormal experience beside a statue of Screaming Lord Sutch, subject of his 2005 biography. On TV, he covered 29 wars and conflicts during almost three decades as a BBC Foreign Correspondent and Presenter. We are a Data Controller of your information.

The Music Department is launching a new hour-long webshow, Vinyl Countdown, on Thursday 11 Feb at 2pm, broadcasting on its YouTube channel. In his shop at age 77, Val keeps bringing up the imminent death of his business. “ When I started out—most of my customers were in high school or college. Now they’re making funeral arrangements. They’re all dying. It’s all over. Nobody’s buying these records. Who comes in here anymore?”It's also a thoughtful rumination on the collector's mentality and the psychological investment in objects. If you replace a record you'd loved and lost, like-for-like, is it really the same thing? Why is it so difficult to divest yourself of those you'll certainly never play again? What will happen to your collection when you're gone? Sharpe, who, working at William Hill came up with the concept of betting on the Christmas No.1 (how's that for a crossover of interests?) ponders on all these things. He does get new walk-in customers, different from the aging fanatic collectors (mostly male and nerdy) of harmony groups who made his business successful. “Now we get women who are D.J.’s who play soul and dance music. They like playing old 45s and they’re young and they look nice.” But there won’t be enough reinforcements to keep his store going as older buyers disappear.
