"On The Beat" record shop in Hanway Street, London, for sale on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/On-The-Beat-Records-A-Classic-Vinyl-Collectors-Record-Store-in-Central-London-/221305313500?pt=UK_B_I_Business_for_Sale_CV&hash=item3386d318dc&clk_rvr_id=542839484300&afsrc=1

This used to be a regular visit back in the day (anyone remember Mutley the dog?), last time I popped in was last year, and was amazed to find it hadn't changed at all (even the stock looked the same)...

It's a dive and has the worst feng shui of any record shop in London but if you have to lay your hands on at least three of the colour variations of the Procession 7-inch before lunchtime where else is there?

So that's 3 threads about this now, is that enough or do you think we need another one?

The one further down on the left of this one (still there) was the one Shane Ma used to work in occasionally.

The one next door to this one (now gone) used to have good stuff, now gone in favour of hi-fi stuff (I think)

But this one looks like an old-style record dungeon..

(xpost three? I revived one on ILE but is there a different one going?)

Ebay, Light Of My Life, Fire Of My Loins, My Sin, My Soul

I'm being grumpy, pay no attention

Maybe Urban Outfitters could buy it as an annex for their weird record 'store' where everything is £6

This was the great record shop on Hanway street.

Division One Records

A good compilation as well which I've managed to pick up a few copies of, because I cant leave it there in the 2nd hand bin when I see it.

love the moldy Q magazines on the wall in plastic. yuck.

would be kind of cool if you bought that shop and that guy just sat behind that gross counter in that same exact position and never moved. looks like he's quite good at never moving.

...and no bids received:
