New shop update
So a few people have asked if we are opening in Victoria Street and there was a plan but sadly it’s not happening . It had been suggested to me that the shop next to and belonging to Espionage would be free at least for a while and it was to be honest perfect as I could have cleared off a lot of the great stock I’ve sorted out and then had time to plan further. We might even have stayed ! It falls within the Grassmarket BID and they had kindly been looking into it for me while I was busy with the King’s Stables Road site. I have been let down a lot over the last year or so but in this case I have to stress this was just an idea that looked like it might work perfectly for both parties but unfortunately the timing simply wasn’t right in the end for Espionage and it wasn’t possible. I really am gutted simply because it was such a perfect fit.
As seems to happen these days I had another amazing suggestion the day before I found out and I’ll investigate that further tomorrow and then discuss more the following week but time is marching on and I was sure I would be open by now. I could do a few pop ups but I’d really like to do more than that and also it simply isn’t feasible to do anything outside where stock might get wet/damaged. I need a secure space and reasonable footfall so not asking much ! Any ideas do get in touch. Everything else of course is going very well indeed and hopefully in two years time we will have a lovely indoor market in King’s Stables Road and no worry about the weather.
I had stocked up with vinyl ready for opening this month so I’m now having a mini sale with great stuff at great prices just to keep some money coming in. Please buy stuff !

Many thanks for all the kind comments. It never ceases to amaze me when people based abroad buy something on Discogs and say they were in the shop many years ago and want to keep supporting now. Very kind !
Best of luck my friend, keep soldiering on, I’m always checking for updates no doubt countless other people are as well. Lack of funds currently but I can guarantee I’ll be there on the first day doing some serious overdraft damage. All the best.
Hi there…even though I’ve never visited your shop (I did try once while visiting from Cumbria – you were closed), I follow your story with interest and wish you luck in your quest for a new site. So hope I have the pleasure of lurking behind your crates one day….
