I can almost smell a time when it was near impossible to buy even a new release unless you happened to live in London. I remember happening to be in London and thinking I must look out for a copy of that Chris Bowden 'Mothers and Daughters...' that was mentioned in 'Straight No Chaser' I went to Sounds of the Universe who told me it wasn't out yet but they had some white labels downstairs. I could hardly believe such things happened in real life. Jazzman list through the post in those days. When he said he was no longer sending out a list because most people were online now I thought 'what's online'? I came online so late I never even saw a floppy disc.

I should have mentioned over on the "Straight No Chaser" is back thread, that the second part of the mag that would get checked after the charts would be the small ads

I got some great records from the Virgo Vibes record lists amongst others - good archive thread on the "list" men here:

Well I think it's good looking back to what was hep to the cats a few years back. It's interesting to see, by looking at discogs prices for instance, whether people are still diggin' them or whether there are 180 starting at £1.50.
