Sad but true. If Bill was in it for the money, he'd have discovered ebay years ago. I'm surprised he kept the place open as long as he did. Hopeless romanticThats the problem I guess it's gonna most likely be asset stripped now. Someone is in for a massive windfall here! Thats the person/people selling and also collectors may finally get stuff they've needed for years but it was never found amongst the vast amount of stuff in there!
It could be mate, last time I was in there was easy 10 years ago. Assumedly the owner, who I'd always seen in there, older bloke with glasses, was bopping his head to happy hardcore. It was surreal. I turned around and never went back.I remember it in the late 70s with the gadgie who had a droopy handlebar moustache a bit like Jason King. Bergs was canny too and of course the Durham Book Centre for posters.
According to this business directory it is still open Spinning Disk
Pet Sounds, its sister shop was off Old Eldon Square.New Record Inn..Spinning Disc was a good shout anarl.

Volume was even better when it was Listen Ear
The guys in there were so switched on, we knew about everything worth listening to months before the press and other record shops got to know
Fabulous place
Wax Trax, was it above where the pickle is, opposite Cooper Rose?Spinning disc.
Wax trax was good aswell didn’t seem to be open for long though.
There’s one in Newcastle what’s good Beatdown I think it’s called.

Volume Records Newcastle
Avalanche Records Edinburgh
The Kard Bar (Handyside Arcade) Ncastle.
There's a shop similar to that in Stockton (I think it's Stockton). Looked great from the photo I saw, the type of space you could spend ages just flicking through the different sections and have a bit crack on.
I used to love going in Volume in town
Now there's a blast from the past. Used to love that place, in fact I used to love the whole Handyside Arcade, some belting little shops in there
Quad Electrostatics EL33s. Could kill you if you plugged them in the wrong way. Loved that shopMy favourite shop (apart from Fynd and the hippy lasses who used to frequent there) was probably Hifi Opportunities (around the other side of the arcade from the Kard Bar) if only to see the look of disdain from the staff when they they realised you were only in to buy some TDK AD 90 blank cassettes and not the latest Bang & Olufsen Music Centre with speakers the size of the old Roker End.
I don’t remember Kard Bar selling records?Volume Records Newcastle

Could be wrong like?
He stacks his records horizontallyI'd love to know if there's any better than this. Bill's Records in Dallas, a vinyl enthusiasts wet dream. Bill ran his shop on his own as a collector for over 40 years. If he didn't have it, it didn't exist. Nothing had price tags, you had to ask Bill for a price so it paid dividends to make friends with the bloke. Incidentally he was one of the most fascinating characters I've ever met. Sadly he passed away just a couple of days ago.
Nearest is Darlington i think.Any decent vinyl shops in and around Durham CC?
