I accidentally visited @popclassics.bsky.social yesterday and then accidentally bought some records. Just when you think that you're leaving the shop empty-handed, Damian runs out the back & says 'oh, you might like these'. Best record shop in the UK in my humble opinion.

Oh to go back in time to the 1967 W.H. smiths record clearance sale 😎 #elektrarecords #acidfolk

What I found with @nportnell.bsky.social - my first Durutti Column (their second lp) and v happy to have found Bill Withers. Thanks @popclassics.bsky.social

There’s still a few tickets available for our next pop quiz at the wonderful Angel bar so jump on and reserve a space if you want to take part, it’s going to be a good one ☝️ 😎❤️ angelbar.co.uk/events/pop-c...

Study of our back wall today in two parts ❤️😎

Who were the The Dark Ages 🤔

#nowplaying Ragged Glory 😎😀😃😁 by Neil Young. This is the cat’s whiskers!!! Thanks @popclassics.bsky.social again for letting me have this. I’m a happy boy. #vinylsky #nowplaying

New to me pre-loved vinyl from @popclassics.bsky.social Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Everyone knows!! Happy Friday y’all. #nowspinning #nowplayinyl #vinylsky

A nice weekend haul. Bottom 3 plus the Karen Dalton from @popclassics.bsky.social the other two bought online.

Our next Pop Quiz at the beautiful Angel Bar in Caversham is on Tuesday July 29th from 7pm ❤️😎

All good things come to be who waits … #nowspinning Lazer Guided Melodies. The first one I picked up had pressing issues, so the lovely folk at @popclassics.bsky.social took it back and re-ordered it for me. Now relaxing after a hard day purifying beeswax. #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #nowplaying

This little beauty just turned up at @popclassics.bsky.social for me … that’s the afternoon sorted, listening to an album I already love on #vinylsky #nowplaying #nowspinning

Finishing up by #nowspinning #thejam Setting Sons. The last in the trilogy of originals from @popclassics.bsky.social #nowplaying #vinylsky

Further adventures with #thejam … part one. #nowspinning pre-loved copy of Sound Affects courtesy of @popclassics.bsky.social #nowplaying #vinylsky

Had a magical wee gig at the very fabulous @popclassics.bsky.social today. Record shop gigs are the best because you get to play to the best people. Loved it! Loved them all!

#nowplaying from @popclassics.bsky.social

After a week walking in Cumbria, #nowplaying Strength by the Alarm. I’ve been singing these songs in my head all week on the fells and then, Lo! & Behold! @popclassics.bsky.social has a copy in the pre-loved section. Feeling like a teenager again. #mikepeters #vinylsky #nowspinning

It’s official we have the best customers in the world, thank you @percypaws.bsky.social

Rhythm Roulette at Pop Classics ❤️ youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Saturday 17th May at Midday, Boulder Fields will be playing at the shop, please come down, they’re amazing and it’s free ❤️

There is only one album to start with tonight: #nowplaying Declaration by the Alarm; in memorium #mikepeters. Has to be played loud, right? #vinyl #nowspinning. @popclassics.bsky.social supplied this record … and they have another copy remaining.

Also in @popclassics.bsky.social today, the first ever Marc Bolan single The Wizard b/w Beyond the Rising Sun. Released in 1965, it got nowhere in the charts so is quite rare. Can anybody lend me £1000?* *give

It’s that time again folks, we’re open from 8am and have bands live in-store ❤️😎

Emily ( #cat ) and I are making the most of the late afternoon sun by #nowspinning Upsetters. Emily is more interested in climbing on the radiator and chewing papyrus … Another @popclassics.bsky.social find.

Aww no, Rest In Peace Clem Burke, you were the beat of our youth, thank you man ❤️

Tommy Flanders – The Moonstone from 1969 should be on everyone’s wants list ❤️

You step out to get supper stuff and drop into @popclassics.bsky.social ‘on the way past’ and come out with a come of pre-loved classic. This is the first … #nowspinning Tapestry.

One last side … #nowspinning #thepentangle. This is another treasure unearthed browsing in @popclassics.bsky.social

On the way home from food shopping, Lo! And Behold! @popclassics.bsky.social had a little something for me. #nowspinning Laser Guided Melodies by Spiritualised. Glad I have the Rega power supply as it makes spinning this 12” 45 double album MUCH easier. Have a chill weekend Brothers & Sisters.

That drum break, ooof 😎 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27695605...

Quiet Friday evening listening to this extremely obscure but very groovy Czech jazz fusion recently picked up at Caversham wunder emporium @popclassics.bsky.social

Ask and you shall receive … fresh orders supplied by friends at @popclassics.bsky.social #nowspinning new-to-me #depechemode

Pick up from @popclassics.bsky.social -Bonnie Dobson, Jackofficers, US (a village thing comp) and Friend Sound - a balanced weekend set #vinyl @nportnell.bsky.social

The definition of kind is being let into @popclassics.bsky.social record shop at “one minute to midnight” (not literally obviously) to ask for a couple of orders AND being given something to make the weekend shine. #aphextwin #nowspinning bathroom & kitchen clean & the bread is rising … BIG ❤️ to all

I went out to get supper and noticed @popclassics.bsky.social was open ,,, so I come home with food AND new tunes. #nowspinning Some Great Reward. What comes next …?

I paid a quick visit to @popclassics.bsky.social earlier and picked up an absolute stack of bargains. Look at all these Bonzos albums!

Another couple from the @popclassics.bsky.social Reading gang - Buthole Surfers (best band name ever which never gets tired) and new to me also v good Eclection (1969) - 🙏 @nportnell.bsky.social know this?

2 beauties from @popclassics.bsky.social - eh @nportnell.bsky.social

Next up … #nowspinning #depechemode Black Celebration. It’s great listening to stuff that is “new” and yet familiar. @popclassics.bsky.social have some good, good stuff …

Really pleased to finally be able to announce that our film on Pauline Boty, will be shown on BBC Four on March 3rd at 10pm. Make a note in your diary and get ready for the inspiring story of Pauline Boty. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

#NowPlaying I had absolutely no intention of buying any records today, but when the shop owner grabs this and asks if I want it, what can I do? Only £15 and bloomin' gorgeous sounding. @popclassics.bsky.social @hooholton.bsky.social
