Purchasing music

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I just wondered where everyone on here buys their music from. I never ever go to Virgin, HMV or places like that. Though you can probably get the odd bargain here or there now and again I think they're overpriced and cannot be bothered to root through everything! They never have anything I want anyway......
More often than not I buy mail order from Supernal music, Golden Lake Productions or Alice's records, recently I have been getting alot from eBay :D
Or do you download it all off the internet/file share etc or burn cds from friends?
:D

Similar to QB.

For new albums I tend to go with Play.com, or eBay for second hand or more obscure stuff.

Most of the music I've acquired recently has been through weeding / CD trading or from downloading mp3 / FLAC / SHN files...

Gift ? :D
looking for that one....

I usaly buy my albums at the larger stores, but if I want a more exclusife item I turn to a little musicstore not far away. a bit more expensive but its mostly worth the trouble/mony.

I can probably get it for about R80, which is about 8 Euro, plus postage, which could work out to be a bit. PM me if you're interested and let me know how much you're prepared to spend, in case it's more.

I try to resist, but what's a man to do when the wife drags him to the White Rose Centre and expects him to hang around for two hours while she looks in every shoe shop? HMV always seem to have a 3 for 20 quid sale on. Plastic fantastic. :innocent:
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Yes I've been to the shop a couple of times in Camden when I've gone down there for a gig. When I went to the website a little while ago they were still working out an online secure payment thing :?:

yeah yeah yeah.......I just find it useful to hear music from bands I haven't heard before by downloading it from somewhere before I buy the CD. I prefer to own the original rather than own loads of cdr's

@ Brideoffrankenstein
for me the same. when I like a song I mostly download it from the net along with some other songs of the same band and if I realy like them I buy the album.
when I play a cd its to hear it as a whole, the way the band intended it to hear. I almost never play only one song at the time.
I have to admit I have (alot) of records from the net, but I don't listen to them alot, so it wouldn't be worth buying the record anyway.

Dusta Discs...for lack of a real name he is known to thousands of Camden Lock patrons simply as Dusta...

Dusta is about 40 something...he has blonde hair...and he sells/trades rare original live recordings (bootlegs) 6 days a week...he is permanantly located in Camden now in a stall on the north side of the Canal...

maybe one day i'll introduce you... 8)
