Rückblick 2017

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

sadsadsad and –  any actual musical heritages ? no

1975, from the album

back in times with no screen overloaded bullshit stages – simply magic

Summer Is Gone – Fly Away

– Summer Is Gone, 1956 from the album

to continue an outstanding compilation like this years Praise Poems Vol.1 is tricky, simply to find again 17! new schmankerl. Tramp Records did it again – Praise Poems Vol.2 – again !!!!!!

– Fly Away

– Masquerade

– Midnight And You, all from

our todays  – Mondays Blues – tune

1972, from the album

Here & Now

a little new annoying trend – people asking for vinyls, naturally knowing not to find in a “normal“ record store. Like – i know impossible to find, but you don’t have by chance……or – yeah maan, i saw it on discogs for 89€, but i thought maybe…..

simple daily business. Next one, is another candidate for this category, but !! the italian Schema label made them possible for you & me.

Two times LP+CD, or 2CD of this schmankerl (i know already the questions – …..ooooh, you have only the reissues. Any chance you have the originals…….). We simple enjoy the music.

– Bagliori, 1973

our last copys from RSD 2015 sadly gone, but still favourite tunes so far for this year. Remix 10Inch from this 2011 release

– Beatin‘ tha breaks/Freddie Joachim Remix

– Beatin‘ tha breaks/Fouk Remix

goodgoodgood – DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson acoustic session for their 2015 debut album

BERLIN FOLKS & GUESTS – this vinyl

stands the last three years for five or 5€ in the soul section. This is simply veryveryvery sad. I will NOT put it into the 2€ section !

– Float On, 1977

Amen Break – The Winstons

Once there was a tune called – Amen Brother by the Winstons
