Bootlegs? We have NEVER, EVER, EVER sold a bootleg in the shop's 52 year history, and do not intend to start now...* *message for enquiries, ta

Amateur art at its finest, with one of the most flamboyantly charismatic lazy eyes I've ever seen. Medium: charcoal, felt tip and a hint of salad cream. Neil Buchanan denies any responsibility.

Introducing long serving staff member Harry the ex-fly! His work ethic has never been the same since the spontaneous combustion, but he remains highly mobile...

Please note we will be closing early on Friday, due to a trip to Sheffield. Headgear has been sorted (see below).

For anybody awake at the ungodly hour of 5.50am, we'll be making a cameo on BBC Radio 5 Live tomorrow morning. Adele is unlikely to be mentioned this time, but I have Julio Iglesias firmly in my crosshairs...

Not content with BBC 5 Live, we also appear to be in the The Guardian today. I've no idea when I gave that interview, or who to, but I stand by the immersive pleasure of the crackles!

Delighted to have ticked playing at The Leadmill off the bucket list, many thanks to Half Man Half Biscuit. OPEN tomorrow as usual, if I wake up in time...

Impromptu staff reunion - great to see shop co-founder John Poole up for his annual visit! Also starring Roy, Jane, Evelyn and Mr Loch Lomond himself - Steve Woolley!

As Halloween approaches, a ghostly apparition has been spotted in the 10p singles section. Quite friendly for an evil spirit, it happily fetches sticks and answers to the name of Bobby. Good undead boy, Bobby!

GIG POSTERS - an announcement concerning the displaying of tribute band gig posters in the shop. Please click on photo to read full text:

An unfortunate day for the local mice, hamsters and gerbils, and all other small creatures within the vicinity of record shops across the country - THIS is back on vinyl... Come terrify your neighbours, you know the restraining order and 15 hours of community service are worth it

"LEO SLAYER." More staff training needed... I've put it in the heavy metal section, just to annoy people.

We are now on INSTAGRAM! Follow for more record and CD based shenanigans. instagram.com/skeletonrecord…

GIFT VOUCHERS - annual reminder that yes, we do indeed wield such weapons of luxury! Treat your family, friends, enemies and the mutually ambivalent to a browse through out highly esteemed 10p singles section with a voucher this December. Any amount welcome 👍

A shop favourite - a black and gold mono first pressing! Well played but still sounds great. (I've got four mint ones at home - don't tell my mum)

Half Man Half Biscuit restock - we have Achtung Bono back on CD for the first time in ages! Plus some other bits - vinyl and CD.

Sold but too much fun not to share: a mint 'So Far' by Faust, complete with inserts, strange noises and a hint of knockwurst sausage!

Those of you who knew him are probably aware of the recent sudden passing of Pete Roberts. His funeral will take place at Landican on Wednesday 8th January at 9.30am. Awful photo I'm afraid but he didn't appear on camera regularly. Feel free to contact me

New Yachts LP - we're delighted to have a limited number of copies in stock, with thanks to Henry Priestman. £27.99, comes with a free CD; once they're gone, they're gone! Photography: Alan 'No Parlez' Dunn

We're not going to be posting on here until this strange man calms down a bit. Follow us on Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram instead. Happy 2025!
