Sad - but I’m guilty of looking at the vinyl setups and storage in the posh property mags
This is from the latest Elle Decoration
Interesting choice of display albums (Jagger, Darts, Sutherland Brothers & Quiver). I’m not being sniffy- honest!

A mate just found a copy of this prog folk holy grail in a charity shop for a £1 (signed as well). Pretty good work - as there’s currently one on eBay with a bid of £810 on it!
I suppose I could pretend not to be jealous

This is different. A turntable that uses an optical sensor rather than a stylus - and plays your vinyl vertically, you can even mount it on your wall (if you trust your DIY skills that is)
It’s called the Miniot Wheel 3. We’re intrigued

This is great! I remember visiting Volcanic Tongue with my wife once: back in 20something or other, then went to Duke’s Bar & Sparklehorse, ended up in Mother India before getting a Joe baxi back into the centre - the most West Glasgow day out ever. Magic! The compilation for David’s book is a must.
