Record Store Day 2018. Long time dealers do not comment anymore, because they simply comply cranky prospects from major companies and the new generation of vinyl bon vivants.
therefore, same procedure as every year. Goggle, not wonder. We do our best. This years german list you can check here
our personal scintilla in 2018
open from 9 a.m. – nothing for free, no drinks or schnittchen, but still sun in our heart
you are welcome !
2017, a fast and perceptively year. The ongoing medial coverage, about an assumed renaissance of vinyl culture is the big misunderstanding between apparenty interest and the daily hard life of a store owner. The growth rate concerns online sales, less the analog existence without web store, discogs business, …
The new enthusiasm about vinyl or vinyl culture is simply an appearance and less a reliable movement. A simple example on not reliable rapture showed the Berlin based RadioEins on a video, produced for the “vinyl day“ on their channel. Be stunned here
Therefore, here a few notes about our daily business, light spots and alienations.
main challenge of the year:
the new quality on perception that means the dislike to spot something. Curiosity is slowly dying, spontaneity already disappered. In other words decorators versus music lovers.
realization of the year:
tons of releases. Mean is the new spearhead
positive surprise of the year:
King Krule, The Ooz
reissue label of the year: Habibi Funk
wrong stock of the year:
customer: do you have bird sounds on vinyl?
we: yes, have a look ( 9 records with 324 bird samples from three continents).
after 8 minutes – no business. He missed the bird, he was looking for.
maybe you missed or looked for list variable here
anticipation of the year, means release january 2018:
Berlin classic of the year:
ambition of the year:
2018 we start our 7Inch Label. Right of ownership already save.
question of the year: …. do you have normal records?
poem of the year = Peace, wherever !
the earth is my altar,
the sky is my dome
the mind is my garden
the heart is my home
and i’m always at home

consequently no champagne, no schnittchen – but extremely positive vibes and an excellent atmosphere
– Smile, 1979 from the album
inherently we are friendly persons. These times are straining. Being critical doesn’t mean being negativ. The original liner notes from this album are!
Actually it was my wife’s idea to give the new LP the title Smile. Go on, laugh a bit from time to time, she said, because I was always looking so cross
Why this album. A so-called Disco Diggler told us, there would be surprising disco tunes on this not so well known Kaempfert vinyl. Mmmh? make your own impression
– Keep On Dancing
for quality listening we prefer ambiente elegante
– Ambiente Elegante, 1975/2016 from the CD compilation
