We have just purchased about 3000 indie/punk/rock-titles which we will start selling at the end of next week. Expect loads of classics and a lot of fine titles in the bargain sections as we will need to sell duplicates fast because of lack of space in our shop.

Since last update we have literally been flooded with interesting records traded into our HQ - thanks for that !!!! ( So we must be doing something right when we pay well for top titles...)

The easiest would just be to visit our shop here in Aarhus to see for yourself, but as we love namedropping here is a small list of artists: Smiths, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, A-ha,(?) Jandek, Current 93, Throbbing Gristle, Trentemøller, Looptroop, Joy Divison, New Order, Slayer, Metallica, Dimmu Borgir, Neil Young...well loads of stuff really...

Sorry about the long abscence of updates. Major reasons are that we have been quite busy listing records as well as we have been to the large record fair i Utrecht, Holland.

Furthermore we have also got a bunch of classic indie and post punk records including Fire Engines, This Heat, Wire, Blur, PJ Harvey etc. You better check out our catalogue yourself.
