Ah, Motley.

Razor Cuts in the Abbey Mall. Great days.

There were two or three shops weren't there? What was the one down the very back - sold mostly indie stuff. Used to go EVERY Saturday and look through the same vinyl each time. Bug by Dinosaur Jnr and a few Albini ones were what I remember most..

It's mostly tourists and skater/emo folk who illegally download all their music!!

A mate of mine works in the central bank for about 8 years now and had no idea there was ever a record shop in there, he always assumed it was a clothes shop

No wonder the banks are in trouble. You can see the cds from outside!

What was that called again, DLR or something?
Brilliant shop.

Razor Cuts then DTK.

What was the one in the basement on Sth William St? It was expensive but they always had great stuff you'd never see anywhere else.

Freak Out. some great records with poor service. Although they seemed to be less rude to me as time went on. I spent enough money there anyway.

That's where all the luminous live bootlegs came from

Playboys before the ban was lifted. £2 each.

Give that man a medal

There was one for a very short time on one of the streets between Grafton St and Dawson St. This was just a few years ago. Near the Hibernian Way I think. Anybody remember the name?

the rudest shop staff I've ever encountered.

 

[Flux]

Freak Out, that's the one.

Crappy service seemed to be the default setting for small Dublin record shops back in the day. Don't really remember the Freak Out heads though.

that was a Borderline offshoot also called Borderline. Pretty sure it had a yellow shopfront. This was pre-Road as far as I remember.

Picked up the first Daddy Longhead there. Can't say anything bad about them.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

It's cool when record shops are in basements. Although it's probably not great for business.

ha! - and Abbey Discs, remember ?

bought a vinyl copy of Joy Division 'Still' from that Abbey Discs minus the cover.

 

[Diumraid]

Just wrote some mumbo jumbo that nobody needed to see. Sorry

 

[Anthony]

Abbey Discs was cool. Freak Out had great stock and I bought some lifers in there but I hated going in. Wasn't mad on DTK.
