The big story round these parts is that I’ve got the vinyl bug back – big time. In February I noticed on Facebook that a new record shop, Veneno Music Store (Spanish for “poison” or “venom”) had opened in Dunfermline. I hadn’t been buying a lot of used vinyl lately so I wasn’t too excited about it. But Dunfermline is a quick drive from where I live and it’s a place I like going to anyway so I decided to visit for a wee nosey. I’ve now been back three times in the last month. Check out what I’ve been buying in the pictures below, it’s like he’s been using my Discogs wish-list to stock his shelves or something.
I’m really chuffed to finally have such a great record shop in my neck of the woods. The chap that runs it is very friendly and he’s getting in great stuff every week. It’s not all rock and metal, there’s quite a range of genres. All the things I’ve bought were conservatively graded, reasonably priced and have played like a dream. If you’re in the area please make sure to pop in. And tell them that HMO sent you.
How exciting. I just checked, and Dunfermline looks a wee bit far for a Melbourne crate digger, but I’m delighted for you!

Awesome. Nothing better than a good record store. Nice scores. That wall had a ton of goodies on it that I would love to grab.

That’s awesome you got back into buying vinyl! Veneno Music Store looks awesome and you got some great finds! Not sure how I feel about Metallica’s current sound, but that ‘Metal Up Your A**’ cover will forever be genius! Last year, I bought the CD version of that tribute album with Randy Rhoads and I get the hype now! May he rest in peace.

The Rhoads Tribute album is great! Glad you got into that.
I’ve not liked the new Metallica stuff either. This is one of their early demos with Dave Mustaine so it’s much better! Some of the best stuff they ever did. And the cover is genius!

Yes, you’re right! Randy is absolutely amazing on that album. He was taken away from us too soon.
Speaking of Dave Mustaine, what do you think of the Megadeth cover of “Ride the Lightning”? I don’t hate it, but I didn’t think it was necessary.
