I'm back to using 1210s again, but I might have to opt for another one to play albums in full. If I play the best records on the 1210s with heavy arms and killer needles I'll probably fuck them up. So rather than switching it the cartridge heads I just need another turntable.

That's wild they put every song into its own 45
Thrift stores are good place to look, but I've never gotten lucky cause they are usually picked over quickly. Plus a lot of people know how much desirable records records are going for now and usually take them to record stores.
Yeah we have Oxfam over here that used to be a regular charity shop, now they have people working for them that work on pricing vinyl among other things. Sucks, I haven't found anything outstanding for years at a thrift shop or boot sale
You're in the UK right? Fuck man, I wish I collected Vinyl when I was there in 2017. I'd like to go back in general, but also make it a point to hit records stores in London.
Where do you order from when its overseas? Because if it's Discogs they massively over charge for shipping, even for local UK post. Not sure if they have their own system, their own costs to add on, but they're way more expensive than buying from eBay or an actual record store. Some great stuff on there but I refuse to pay the shipping most times
Usually discogs or eBay.
A lot of the bands I listen to are European and some thankfully have their own US distributor but most do not and the fees for shipping and importing are f'n insane but I pay it to support them.
Initially the charges from Europe to UK went sky high, lots of customs issues but they're mostly resolved now. UK in general has increased postage charges, but Discogs seem to charge the higher end for some reason. I don't sell on there so I don't know their procedures, but buying single vinyls is not worth the cost mostly. Importing from the US can be $20 to $30 a pop. I wanted an album from Germany and they wanted €32 for shipping. It doesn't have to cost that much but like I said, I assume either sellers or Discogs themselves force you to pay the higher end for recorded signed for
I usually try to find the cheapest record cost with higher shipping if I absolutely must. Id rather pay $50 plus $50 shipping for a $100 record than $100 with free shipping because I'd pay less tax. Problem is, it's hard to find good records overseas that balance out with high shipping.
Great find
I hit up my honey-hole (favorite spot) and found one of the GOAT albums. I was looking for a Tom Jones and I found one, but it was a live album. I've found live albums to be hit or miss, so I wanted to hear it first which is impossible because all sales are final.
My older sister has a honey-hole in Alabama that we've been to and I'm going to head back over there with her in late Summer/Fall/Winter.
