ElecSoul #188 (GONE DIGGIN')
Over the last month I visited 2 of our recently 3 record shops in Stroud. Trading Post Records run by Simon Vincent (Sadly now closed but still selling records online). We also have Sound Records owned by collector and respected DJ, Tom Berry.
Then 3rd record store in Stroud, Klang Tone Records, which I call the 'Record Store Owners Record Store'. This is headed up by Sean Roe who states he sells Weird Sh*T!. Go inside and you'll amazed and the eclectic array of artists and sounds. Maybe I'll ask for a curated tour from Sean next time I attempt a record store dig.
Join me as I rummage through the shelves of 2 stores and plan his visit to the 3rd.
