cityspinner Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sheffield's longest running closing down sale finally ends this weekend when Spin City on Westfield Terrace finally closes it's doors this Saturday. The shop, which is one of the last places to obtain vinyl in Sheffield, has been open for 23 years in various sites. It started on the gallery at the Castle Market before moving downstairs to a very hard to locate position in the bowels of same market. 6 years ago it moved "uptown" to it's present position on Westfield Terrace, the busy thoroughfare between Nandos and the Frog and Parrott! Only Record Collector and Rare and Racy have been open longer and the closure will further reduce the opportunities for getting good vinyl in Sheffield. There'll be a final sale this week to clear out the last of the vinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That's sad news ... the end of an era, to coin a trite phrase, but one that we're bound to hear more and more in the coming years, as all these well loved independent places are forced to close their doors for one reason or another. Best wishes for whatever the future holds for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a shop on the Castle Market gallery selling Northern Soul back in 74/75 - is this the same one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityspinner Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes it is the same one that started on the Gallery at the Castle Market in the "mini market" with the old guy selling postcards and stamps. Everyone has to start somewhere! It took some courage to get up there as you had to walk past a group of skinheads who used to congregate outside the Cafe. But as you know, record hounds aren't easily put off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satman2222 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The old guy is still there - complete with dozens of hand written notices telling you to do this or don't ask for that! :hihi: I don't know how he affords the £600 a month rent - there is never anyone in there when I pass!
