Not for this generation the thrill of wandering into a backstreet record shop on a wet wednesday afternoon and discovering in the racks a rare 12 inch single you’d been after and all for a bargain price.
You can’t miss what you’ve never had but I feel sorry that the young ’uns will never have that joyful experience. I guess things like Record Store Day, limited edition runs and the resurgence of boutique vinyl issues go some way to recapturing that but I don’t see it as anything other than faddish pandering, pandering that the vast majority of music consumers (download thieves for the most part) don’t give a tuppeny shit about.
