You obviously don't see Maplin 'fliers'. They can't shift the ones they
have.


I did wonder when they'd reach saturation.

I was round a friend's house the other day and her 16 year old daughter
has just discovered records - gave her a few duplicates I had, Clash,
Nina Simone, sort of mainstream stuff I like.

Two things - she knew the music. That quite surprised me. Couldn't quite
figure out whether she liked it, but that brings me on to the second thing.

When I asked her why on earth she bothers faffing about with records she
didn't seem that sure. The covers, certainly. She also said she liked
the sound, but couldn't explain why/what which was all the more baffling
because her record player's one of those 70s radiogram type affairs with
a 'rich' tone.

Youngsters today, eh? :-)
