Re: (313) piccadilly records. Any good?
i've been placing orders with piccadilly every two or three weeks for the past two years or so. never ever had a problem. the records turn up on the other side on the world within four or five days. they have a great slection for the stuff i like. i really like their wishlist function. a friend received one order from piccadilly with broken records - they replaced them without question. james www.jbucknell.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] com To 23/04/05 01:00 AM 313@hyperreal.org cc Subject Re: (313) piccadilly records.

They're a great shop, owned by great people who care for music, and care for the service they provide. Theres no attitude, no hierarchy, just plain old friendly service. I can't recommend them highly enough really. They excel in all genre's of music, from the latest obscure private press indie 7's, through imports like mahogani and on to re-issues of interesting music etc. A real one stop shop.

In return, they're great to me, not only me, but all the local people that visit the shop. They also like to support people who's music they like, or feel should be heard, and thats never a bad thing either. I have never used the mailorder service, perhaps someone else can advise.

RE: (313) piccadilly records. Any good?
I can't recommend picadilly enough! I used to go there all the time when I lived in Manchester, and even now on the other side of the world they remain one of my favourite shops. As well as the red-hot warehouse finds that seem to pop up with alarming frequency, their staff have the best taste in music. While I still use juno most of the time, Picadilly is the place I go to when I want to listen to something fresh; their staff picks are always right on it. In terms of mail order, they do Manchester-Sydney in around 4 working days, with no problems encountered by me ever. In addition, if stuff isn't in stock, they'll send it out to you once it is, and only charge your card at that point. I was well happy when some gear I'd completely forgotten about turned up out of the blue a few weeks after I ordered it. Manchester heads - are they still on Oldham St? What's Eastern Bloc like nowadays?

While i've never been there (but hope to someday) their weekly email newsletters with label art and descriptions is great, they do a really nice job with it. Of all the record shop emails I'm subscribed to... (and sadly not enough time to even open many of them), if i only have time to read one, you can bet it's the Piccadilly weekly issue guide. The editorial bit at the beginning this weeks thoughts is written with care and always provides a chuckle and worth a skim. I think you can even configure which genres you want to get in your email newsletter, so it's customized to your tastes. Of course for weridos like me that work the seams BETWEEN genres, this makes it more difficult cause I have to check almost all the boxes.. but that's my problem not theirs. ;) -- MM http://sonicsunset.com

Manchester heads - are they still on Oldham St? What's Eastern Bloc like nowadays? Yep, still on Oldham Street, and as for Eastern Bloc... personal taste, but I wouldn't bother
RE: (313) piccadilly records. Any good?
Manchester heads - are they still on Oldham St? Yep. What's Eastern Bloc like nowadays? Oh. Hmm. Eastern Bloc ceased being the shop it USED to be a long long time ago. However, it's owner John Berry is a great guy who has done alot for techno over the years in Manchester. A true gent. I don't buy any records in there any more, haven't done for hmm, 6/7 years? They don't have anything I want really. Lots of people still shop in there though. I think these days they do more of the harder techno like John plays, the tech-housey kind of gear Mark Turner plays.. Jungle/DB, Garage etc etc oh, and I think they do a good line in rave type mixtapes. Not really owt I want. Ahh, the glory days of Eastern Bloc. Walking in to get slaughtered by Moonboots. Those were the days. *sniff sniff* Alex _ - End of message text This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Re: (313) piccadilly records. Any good?
I use them via mailorder regularly and can definately recommend them (I am in the UK but dont see why overseas would be different). Their stock is usually pretty up to date although you will get the odd occasion where they are out of stock - if you pick the ship in 5 days option they will try and get it back in for you if they can.

Re: (313) piccadilly records. Any good?
Back before the dollar dropped to 50p, I used to order from Picadilly all the time and have found their service to be pretty much impeccable. Great selection, too. Generally, their in stock is accurate for everything but the hot limited stuff, which you really have to move on if you want. (Kind of genius, actually. It's what always motivated me to put together an order...) Shipping's a bit pricy to the states, but it basically comes out the same as buying an import in the shops. --- Joost P [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, just came across the site of http://www.piccadillyrecords.co.uk .
