Store is also a milestone in Arctic Monkeys' history

Cobbyshambles - records for 'retros?' the dance scene always preferred vinyl to CD and mp3s are not collectable. In fact one of the reasons why vinyl has had a revival over the last five years is due to the fact that mp3s are impersonal. I realise that many people may prefer to do their shopping over the net, that's their choice; personally I like browsing, a chat with the informative people who work in specialist shops and not feeling like I'm being cattle herded. I don't think it's just us oldies of 31 who feel like that, or am I just being retro? ; )

Gutted, gutted, gutted. Now live in Scotland but was a regular visitor to this Berwick Street legend when I lived south.Surely there can be some way of it being saved? Would rather buy records from the likes of places like Sister Ray, Rough Trade, (and here in Scotland) Avalanche than HMV or Zavvi.There are those who will claim that downloads are doing the damage. I beg to differ. The people who shop at places like Sister Ray are people who will go all over to find their music, and it's far more likely that some stuff is being undercut elsewhere (supermarket chains are not helping either). Wish I had the cash to help. Sigh...
