As usual just relieved not to have have made an arse of it or swore. Did my best to mention as many bands as possible. It is just over 10 minutes from the end on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zp18y Savings and Loan sound amazing on the radio.

Album Club and Second Hand Vinyl
I’ve not started actively looking for new members for the album club yet to bring the numbers up to 100 from the current 50 but feel free to join up now. If we can reach 100 members it will give us extra buying power and at the same time boost the Avalanche coffers. I’ve made […]
Imandra Lake – Shoegaze Indie Folk ?
Had some very nice people in the shop buying varying amounts of CDs and vinyl and one of them returned with their own CD. I thought I recognised the cover though I have no idea how as it turns out to be on an Estonian label Seksound. Only been able to have a quick listen […]

It seems there is vinyl available exclusively from the Universal store something I hadn’t heard of before but seems to sell product, merchandise etc from Universal artists. I also see that Amazon now have it too I’m guessing after kicking up a fuss or maybe […]
Extending Our Vinyl Section
We are looking to extend our vinyl section to twice its current size with a larger selection of second hand vinyl along with some more new vinyl. If customers have any boxes of old or not so old vinyl they would like to turn into cash we would be very pleased to hear from you.
Avalanche Manifesto, Record Store Day and SXSW
As part of the manifesto I promised to look into wider distribution for Scottish bands. There is no doubt that most bands and labels are keen to get their releases into the remaining record shops in Scotland and further afield but most also expect to compete with those shops for customers. Especially in Scotland where […]
