| The Rise Vinyl Racks |
Well the bad news from Worcester is that Mann Audio and Phoenix are no more, or as far as my experience goes , never were. However the good news is that the
Rise Records go from strength to strength , with a lot on offer in a small shop, and I ended up buying some books (well it is
World Book Day today, though as far schools are concerned it's Dressing Up Day) , was talking to the guy in the shop who was very knowledgeable and let me take pictures and told about the record shops that had gone , but there was a great second hand shop called
Market Hall Records.
While I was in there, there was something playing that made me think of
The Cure and
Joy Division , and turned out to be the
Eagulls , so that went onto the purchase list as well, whuch can be seen on my
Instagram Feed.

Market Hall Records has a big selection of stuff and the guy is really good to talk to, if you go to their
website you can find out where they are, and they are sensible enough to use the web as just an advertising hoarding, which is a fine low maintenance approach. I also picked up a
Julian Cope disc called Ambulance.
So all in all a successful day, Worcester has two excellent record shops (HMV doesnt count although they have one), so it's a good place if you want to improve your music collection and expand your horizons. I'd never heard The Eagulls before today but thatnks to the visit to Rise I now have their album and thingk that you might like them too.
I could post a video, but there are pictures and links so I will leave you to find the stuff. That's part of the fun of the internet , you can lose yourself for hours looking for stuff you didn't know that you wanted.
