My wife tells me I'm contributing to the vinyl revival single handed. Glad to see it's not my fault alone ;-)

Cheers for that Ivor! I got back into vinyl fairly recently after a very long absence and when I did I forced myself into good handling/storage/cleaning practice from the start; building it into my handling routine so that it became almost subconscious. Even something as simple as cleaning every side prior to playing will help, and of course upright storage.

I think the Sound Cellar would give them a run for their money!

Is this the smallest vinyl record shop in the UK?

Wow; 6,000 records in a shed. I wouldn't mind having a shed like that!
