UK hardcore punk/hard rock mail-order/distro.

New flesh for long teeth 

 

 

Tuuesday 8th October 2024
Two day’s wait processing/mailing-out new orders. 

I recently spent some time searching around the dustier, forgotten corners of a UK distribution company and consequently came up with quite a few interesting odds and ends –  lost and founds, mostly cheap, some listed below, some bunged straight into the web shop where you’ll have to seek them out yourselves.
It includes some titles on Italian label Radiation Records. They are cheap, which is good (always love a bargain) but I have never played a record to check its quality, and  I always feel a bit sketchy about some of their titles because they feel/look a bit borderline ‘unofficial release’, which feels a bit too close to ‘bootleg’. I generally avoid bootlegs. In this age of internet streaming and legit high-production-value reissues, I think most of us find bootlegs a bit redundant now. They once served a purpose, albeit often a little dubious, and now, it’s no great loss to see the back of them.
Talking of which, I picked up a few titles from Audio Platter. They have reissued some good records (Government Issue mainly) and I can get hold of them at super cheap prices (I think they were over zealous with pressing quantities on some titles). But, I am wary of that label (and it’s co-labels Black On Black, Let Them Eat Vinyl) because, like Radiation, it has a whiff of bootleg to it; also, the owner of Audio Platter has really vile politics (fucking Reform candidate!). I try to forget the fact that the same guy once released one of my all-time favourite 7″s, Antisect’s Out From The Void. 
Well, I’m telling you this so that you can make your own informed choice as to whether you buy ’em or not. Applying caveats, and all that…

The Shipping News
July 2024
The Post office, as of July 2024, have introduced a third postage rate for inland first and second class parcels/large letters that is called With Tracking.
I haven’t changed my checkout/postage set-up, the options remains the same, either Standard or Signed For. I’m going to leave it that way for the time being. Setting up the store’s checkout system with the correct postage rates is a sodding nightmare (anyone who has tried selling on Discogs will know what I mean). Royal Mail don’t help matters by constantly changing their services and price rates.
And so, as a general guideline, for the time being, I will send all orders with a value of £20 or more via the new With Tracking postage rate, and at no extra charge to yourselves.
Does it make a difference to you? No, not really. From what I can gather so far, this new Tracking rate offers-up a bit more information on a parcel’s journey from me to you, (that’s if you can be arsed to type in the number on the Royal Mail’s online tracking site, they don’t make it easy). And it offers a better compensation rate for missing /damaged parcels – up to £150, compared to the Standard rate of around £20.

You don’t have to do anything different at checkout. But, on the rare off-chance that something goes wrong with your parcel – delay, damage, whatever – you now have better recall/back-up. This is all worth knowing, because you might now hesitate before paying extra for the Signed For option – which is still a worthwhile service if your local postal delivery service is a bit unreliable/unpredictable (and it will also come with tracking added-on).

The same as before, if there are any issues with your order, get in touch with me and I’ll sort it out straight away. Things very rarely go wrong, and if they do, they always get resolved, no matter which postage rate you opt for. 

My old policy on larger orders still applies: for an order with a value over £100 choose the cheapest second class option at checkout, and I will then pay the extra and send it First Class Signed For. And if it’s over £150 I will use Special Delivery (it costs over £17, but has really good insurance, and is guaranteed next day delivery before 1pm).   

Does any of this make any sense? No? Oh well… don’t worry about it… as you were

Cheers! Pete
