Title: New Boots and Panties Post by: Karabiner on October 11, 2006, 08:27:54 PM I went shopping in town today and one of the items on my list was the old Ian Dury album "New Boots And Panties" which I've not heard in ages so I popped into the only indie music shop in Nottingham that I know of, it's called Selectadisc and is the last of a dying breed. I like it because everyone is very laid back in there and they're also much cheaper than the major high street stores.
So I wander in and look under "D" and search through the Ian Dury stuff and the album I'm looking for isn't there but I do find a double CD compilation of all of his greatest hits and I can hardly believe my eyes when I see the price....£4.99.Well it sounds too good to be true so I saunter up to the counter and ask the young guy working if this is really the price. Yes he says "it's £4.99" "Lovely" said I "I can't resist a bargain although I was really looking for "New Boots and Panties" There was a very, almost imperceptible hesitation before he asked "Is that a compilation ?" "Yes" I replied, completely unaware of my possible faux-pas, but having realised several hours later on my return home, what it must have sounded like, I would like to commend the young man for playing a remarkably straight bat. ;gobsmacked; Title: Re: New Boots and Panties Post by: Harmony26 on October 11, 2006, 08:47:25 PM the only indie music shop in Nottingham that I know of, it's called Selectadisc and is the last of a dying breed.

Well I was looking on itunes music store to download and I took a wrong turn and stumbled across a song I love and have not heard in ages; in your eyes by peter Gabriel. Its featured in the film 'say anything'. You guys heard anything lately that you forgot how great it was?

'As We Come (To Be)' by the Young Disciples.......Carleen Anderson at her finest Title: Re: New Boots and Panties Post by: Bongo on October 11, 2006, 10:25:13 PM I love selectadisc, many a time when i was bored I would wander down there and pick 5-6 really cheap cds at random. Found some great stuff there!
