Hay Guys,
                 Dropped into this shop Saturday to check out the selection. Pretty much strictly secondo hando, but if you cant be shagged  crate digging come here and take advantage of the time Marsden has taken to present you with the best of the second hand bins. With a significant selection of pre-loved turntables, amps and speakers adding to the atmosphere there is something here for any music lover. Although it does take a bit of work with the majority of the collection being laid out in alphabetical order does take a bit of wading through, but is sure to reward the effort. For example I soon turned up a $50 copy of super group Blind Faith's 1969 controversial album, or an original pressing of Nick Drake's Pink Moon.

  These are both classics which would add significantly to any serious collection but were not exactly what I has looking for today.
 
There were some token genera classifications but they were pretty much an afterthought with only 'Punk rock' offering up anything significant. There was also a Krautrock section with a token Kraftwerk album and an electronic section with a... Jean Michel Jarre album. The singles section was a little more substantial and a quick chat with the owner soon turned up a really nice copy of The Scientists 'Atom Bomb Baby' single, sweet as.


After my earlier post about female electronic producers I couldn't go past Laurie Anderson's Strange Angels and while I'm on the subject I should mention the fantastic re-release of laurie spiegel's The Expanding Universe (Expanded Edition). I picked this work of art up from Boomkat and it just continues to knock my socks off.
I also picked up Tears for Fears' Songs From The Big Chair and Eurogliders' This Island ‎, you could say I was on a nostalgia trip and if that's what your after Muscle Shoals Records will not disappoint.
