Posted by: Wazza69 on 17 November 2010
Hi all,
I am going to start a website which lists and recommends current record stores rather the mourns the loss of lost friends. I was wondering if Forum users would like to contribute? If you would like to contribute then could you please reply with the following:
Shop Name:
Location: (as much details as you can)
Comment on type of stock: e.g. Soul specialist, 70/80s, Metal, Full range of ...
Date last visited: Will include this as a last verified date
Comments: Any comments / stories you may have which people will find interesting
If you happen to have any photos then please feel free to send them to me at waynegalloway@yahoo.com
Will start pulling it together over the next few weeks and hopefully have something online to help with the Xmas shopping!!
Any ideas for the site would also be appreciated.
Mods - Please let me know if there is any issues with this post. The purpose of the post and the site is to try and help continue the local music store industry
Many thanks,
Waz

The "Outback" now in this historic building in Church Stree.
... in the shadow of the Cathedral.
This wonderful shop has been in four different buildings since the early eighties, but the standard of service, the quality and depth of the stock, and the pleasant atmosphere has remained a constant. Mainly the stock is classical, but they will order anything, and persist with difficult imports - for months sometimes - so I recommend this establishment to anyone.
There is a small Jazz section and sometimes they have some nice second hand stock as well.
A shop that seems to live in a different and kinder era, but one which does a very good trade.
ATB from George
PS: The building was once the stable of the Cathedral Organist and was last used for this purpose by GR Sinclair, who is imortalised in Elgar's Enigma Variations where his bulldog Dan is portrayed, in the variation the titled GRS.

That would be Rockpile, sadly no longer with us,neither are the others I'm afraid. Curiously, Iain the proprietor of Rockpile was, last time I saw him doing a course at the 'Tech', you'll know where I mean
