- hi; it may seem odd, given that the cd is now "obsolescent
tech", but i've finally cleared the way to my stereo, looked
out my singles, and am trying to work out how to get my lps
reachable again (- it'll prob'ly need a reorganisation of my
room, to do that; but it has been more than two decades since
the last time i rearranged things, so it could be about time);
- and i started wondering - is there anywhere in cumbria and
north lancashire, that still has a shop carrying a decent
stock of 45s, e.p.s & lps - cheap, reasonably-priced and/or
utterly ludicrous, well-arranged or chaotic, with or without
a set-up to try playing prospective purchases...
- shop, or market stall, open six/seven days a week or one ?
- anywhere further afield, in the north of england?
- love, a ppint. as knows of two charity shops in the west
end of morecambe, as're worth visiting every now & then for
lps, but nowhere really good for singles, and of nowhere in
lancaster, carnforth, arnside, kendal, grange or milnthorpe.

The stalls at the fleamarket in Tynemouth (in the metro station, every
Saturday) always include at least three different stalls with a box of
LPs and sometimes singles (and CDs) and sometimes 78s; they are in
general the result of house clearances I think, and sometimes it's sad
to see what is clearly someone's treasured collection (be it of
classical or 70s pop classics or folk) being sold off in this way. Most
are 50p to 2 or 3 pounds (I think I've seen down to 30p for singles
poorly [i. e. not] protected); there is one or sometimes two stalls who
are aimed at the more serious collector, who have the LPs (those stalls
don't have singles) sorted into order and categories (and those can get
into serious money, though not all are). I've seen folk (especially
Tyneside and Northumbrian, but far from exclusively so) among the boxes
(actually more on the clearance ones than the specialist). I don't think
I've ever seen any of the stalls, including the serious ones, having
listening facilities (though another stall may well be selling a record
player - I've even seen a gramophone!).
The fleamarket is free to enter, and well worth a visit (though pot luck
as far as records are concerned) just as a curiosity: plenty of
militaria, tools, (film) cameras, food (there's now a farmers' market
incorporated, though I'm not sure if that's every week - no, it's
monthly on the 3rd Saturday), jewellery, dolls houses, toys including
model cars and trains, picture framing, clothing (inc. fur coats),
instruments (mostly musical), books, and generally amazing junk;
however, it's a long way from Cumbria! Still, if you're visiting
Tyneside for any reason anyway, worth considering.
http://www.qype.co.uk/place/245612-Flea-Market-Newcastle has the
postcode for your SatNav and a 'phone number (if you're coming from a
long way I suppose it's best to call first - it's nearly always on [I
think Sundays too] but it'd be a pity to come a long way if it isn't). I
have no connection, other than as a fascinated visitor: when I visit
Tyneside, my blind friend (on whose behalf I scan this 'group - she's a
serious folky, and plays the Northumbrian smallpipes [a Jack Armstrong
set]) always wants to go to the fleamarket, and I've spent many hours
getting hoarse going through the boxes of records for her ...

- i've mostly been getting to visit pink panther city once or
twice a year for the last twenty-five years or so, and mostly
around christmas - which'll likely be the next time i'm there
and able get around - but i should be able to visit more often
now (once little grey ghost is back on the road & legal, etc.),
and the suggestion's a good one. i'll keep an ear open for a
laryngitic-sounding loonie rehearsing record titles to a woman
wielding - and sometimes playing? - the pocket pipes every time
i get up that way from now on :-)
