Firstly, Viva 1Up, best in town, I first went there in 1983 when it was on Rosemount Viaduct. 1st purchase? 'I am, I'm Me' by Twisted Sister on 7", it has always been the only recordshop with musical integrity in town, back then the only real competition was from the Other Record Shop, apart from that there was Woolies branches, the aforementioned Telemech and Thistle Records down Ashvale Place (I don't count Newmarket Tapes) Secondly though, Fopp has been good, essentially through correct charging for back catalogue. A fiver for an old album that long since redeemed the cost of its recording is a fair price for all concerned. The Aberdeen Markies branch used to have good vinyl and I bought many a thing there, and anything that allows other stores to charge up to a tenner for old catalogue is sheer robbery, and cannot be countenanced. So I hope it stays open, Fuck Beardo Branson, the man is obviously some kind of sociopath anyway. I will check the Byres Rd branch and report back.

sorry too late mate slot filled some guy who used to play in new order just phoned me from the job centre
