i've only ever ordered vinyl from them and it's been no problem. they do tend to keep the lp's in the sleeves though, which gets on my tattie bojangles.
i mostly buy from: no idea - No Idea Records - they have a really good distro and are pretty cheap vinyl collective - Vinyl Collective Store i don't know if you meant that you didn't want sites based in america [both of these are] but they are reliable and the staff are very helpful should a problem occur. i once ordered a specific colour from no idea but they ran out so they emailed me to ask if i wouldn't mind a different colour along with 20% of my next order! plus both places stick some free shit in with your parcel.
to add value, how about track-by track commentaries or something like on movie dvds? that would be pretty cool and may give insights into recording tricks or what certain lyrics mean. anyways, i'm not too fussed about the decline of the cd. as long as no idea and vinyl collective still ship me 12 inch pieces or circular wax for the forseeable future, i'll be a happy chappy.
something about this new tv deal dosen't sit right with me. BBC SPORT | Football | Scottish Premier | SPL agrees TV deal with Sky-ESPN seems like its more grabbing at the most money rather than promoting the SPL.
