Want to Buy a Used Record Store? One's For Sale on Ebay!
Tim Derbyshire opened On The Beat Records in 1979 on Hanway Street, near Tottenham Court Road in London. Now he's put it up for sale on Ebay. Asking price: £300,000.
The music magazine arm of The Vinyl Factory, a UK pressing plant once called PortalSpace Records that now bills itself as "an independent British music and arts enterprise (that) encompasses a record label, vinyl pressing plant, gallery spaces, record shop and music magazine" recently interviewed Mr. Derbyshire.
I'm sure Analogplanet.com readers will find it of interest.
After looking at the photos and considering the asking price I'm reminded of the hapless Paul Mawhinney and his "million dollar" collection but maybe it's just a bit "disorganized"?
