sidewinder Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 in oxford one was left (but about to close) Sounds like Avid. It was next door to an indie theatre on one of the side roads, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 checked the map, it was indeed avid, maybe for a vinyl person there would have been more to find there... Some years ago I had some really good finds there. A copy of Dolphy's 'Out To Lunch' Blue Note mono original hanging on the upstairs wall for £10 for example ! That stuff (from a single collection I think) disappeared very fast.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Hmm - doesn't ring any bells, Bev. Was this place up and running within the last 10 years or so? The only side-street place in Salisbury that I can recall was Avid and that was just off the High Street (LH turnoff) in the direction towards the Cathedral Close. They didn't have much classical though and it was on 2 floors, quite a narrow place. The old one I'm thinking of was central - but I am going back to the late 1980s!!!!! This is the one I found hidden upstairs: http://www.thebestof.co.uk/salisbury/57170...he_best_of.aspx The Oxford HMV used to be very good for classical; and Blackwells CD shop was still there 2 years back. Mainly classical but it had one of those small but eccentric jazz sections where you could pick up something unexpected!

Thanks for that ! Next time I'm in town (quite often) I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
