Lockdown but not Out! David Bowie's 50th Anniversary Metrobolist & Neil Young's Return To Greendale

As of today we have had to close our doors again for the duration of the 2nd lockdown.

We can't deny it's a blow, but our thoughts are first and foremost with all NHS staff, everyone's safety and with all our neighbouring independent businesses in Louth.

We will keep the new releases coming and we'll be posting our latest arrivals, 2nd hand gems & music recommendations on this site & on social media throughout.

THANKS again to all our customers for their continued support in difficult times!

You can still support us in the following ways:

Here's what's new in stock this week...

Two of the greats have releases this week...

David Bowie's 50th Anniversary Edition of Metrobolist. Originally titled Metrobolist, the album's name was changed at the last minute to The Man Who Sold The World. The 2020 re-release of the album under its Metrobolist moniker has been remixed by original producer Tony Visconti with artwork created by Mike Weller who was behind the historically controversial “dress” cover which Mercury Records refused to release. 

Neil Young's Return To Greendale is the next installment in Neil Young's performance series and features a concert from the historic and unique 2003 tour supporting the release of the album.
