The vinyl resurgence has led to amazing improvements in the quality of new vinyl records. Remastering from the original sources has led to new cuts of so many of the classics. I am such a vinyl head that I'm interested in these for myself and as a result we have started selling some.

Companies such as Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner and Mobile Fidelity Sound labs have re-issues and hidden pleasures a plenty! All are on 180g virgin vinyl and some are also half speed mastered. That puts the price up though, as does the highest level Mofi Ultradisc which is a limited edition of single stage pressing. The Stevie Ray Vaughan Couldn't stand the Weather with two discs at 45rpm sounds amazing. At £179 it should do, although some are already changing hands for more than that. Limited edition MFSL discs go up in price when the run ends, earlier releases can be twice what you paid for them after a few years.

Just this week we have arrivals from Lou Reed Transformer £29, Solomon Burke-King Solomon £29, Chet Baker and Art Pepper £29, Nina Simone Little Girl Blue £ 19, MFSL Supertramp Breakfast in America £ 59, MFSL Dire Straits Communique at £ 79 and MFSL Derek and the Dominoes Layla at £ 89

Call in for a look and treat yourself to a treasure!
