Rollin Records We pay top prices for your unwanted vinyl records. Always have! Welcome to the page of Rollin Records. Who in their right mind, likes a page on Facebook?

For some reason people who visit this site are supposed to click the like button. It's all a load of rubbish, but the more likes you get, the more propoganda you can spread about your business. Yes, please ignore the previous sentence. Just tick the bloody like box, and don't even think about it! As for the label, well we love all the artists and are immensely proud of the work they've created. I

truly believe that these musicians are up there with the best, and can't believe how lucky we are to have them on board. Over the years I hear recordings which would be massive hits, if they were to get national exposure. One particular recording was J.D. McPherson's "North Side Gal". It had been around for a couple of years before it attracted the attention of Nick Lowe, who in turn secured a deal with Rounder records in the USA and Universal in the UK. It would have been criminal to let this song slip through the net, but that's where it was going until the PR and money men got going. Unfortunately that's where the music scene is now. Unless you're with a major label, you can more or less give up the ghost of getting any national airplay,which more or less means Universal now, as they're buying up everything! We'll never see the likes of another "Jungle Rock" which secured Charly's fortunes, and those heady days of independant labels from the late 70s and 80s who were taken seriously, have long since gone. The relevance of all this waffle is a track that we're just about to release. "Heart Of Gold" by Keith Turner & The Southern Sound is the best version of this classic song I've ever heard. It would be a top ten record in the States without a doubt if it got the airplay. It's commercial, brilliantly executed and transcends all the borders. Let's see what happens!

Topping up the outside tables tomorrow with more CDs all at £2.00 each. This batch has a lot of RNR /Doo-Wop/ etc amongst them. All are pretty much unplayed.

This is a clip from the new Canadian TV series 'Wildcards'. Not the best quality as taken off a phone camera, but you might recognise the disc on the jukebox! To anyone not familiar with the track, here's a link to it. 'Banging' is the word! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzV-WnNCB6U

Another impossible one, made playable again. Looking at the pics you'd call it a day, but this has been made playable again. We recommend Carl at Record Repair to everyone, be it for warps, jumps, needle sticks, or just a deep clean. Really reasonable rates, and your precious items are in the hands of a top surgeon!

Before the days of the Houseshakers and the Hell Raisers, Terry Clemson wielded the lead guitar with the Downliners Sect. The three records and sleeves pictured here all came from Terry's collection and represent just a small slice of his time with one of the coolest bands ever to emerge from the '60s.
"Glendora" is an absolute killer, and Terry's blistering intro tells you everything you need to know from the very first note. The copy shown here is the Swedish issue from 1966. The Regent Sound acetate is even more special – the band's very first recording, cut in 1963, pairing Bo Diddley's "Cadillac" with Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven". Both are superb covers, bursting with raw energy.
In 1964, the band released the EP Nite In Great Newport Street on Contrast Records. A second EP, Brite Lights Big City, was all set to follow. Sleeves had already been printed when disaster struck: the pressing plant went bust before a single record could be made. Years later, the tapes finally resurfaced. I remember Terry being genuinely excited when the project was revived, and the EP was eventually released using the original artwork. The sleeve pictured here is Terry's original, and it became the template for the 2011 reissue. Time had faded the colours, so they were carefully restored for the new printing.
So there it is – three pieces of Downliners Sect history from a true cult '60s band. A band so uncompromising they even recorded a tongue-in-cheek punk LP in ‘77 under the name FU2... but that's another story!
