*NO SELFIE STICKS WERE USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO* 😅

Short trip to Newcastle, on the hunt for grand footage and Blue Note vinyl. I think I succeeded in this one although, at 26 minutes, it's not for the casual viewer.

Two great record shops visited, an expensive haul secured, and some reflections on recent 'VC' (Vinyl Community) drama. Well, not a full-blown drama, but a little melodrama. Tragedy or comedy? You decide.
