Flying records - Shut down??

Flying records - Shut down??

Ive just heard that Flying records has shut down!

if anyone knows anything, is this true?

Chris.

Panic Over!!!!

Don't worry Guys I was talking to Scooby on Saturday and all they are doing is closing the left hand side of the shop and saving themselves over £10,000 in rent per a year.
They've just blocked the doorways off inside the shop in order to seperate the 2 parts.

Phewww! thank god for that!

Dont think life wud be the same without Flying records

u goon!

There never seems to be anyone in there, wen Im in anyway. They scare me

the dudes in HMV were gossiping like bitches about it yesterday

i hate the place me, been ina couple of times for things they treat customers like shit, ive never felt so uncomfotable in a shop before:spangled:

For some reason they only treat you like shit if you are a new customer. If you go in there regularly then they tend to be a lot more helpful.

lol surprised anyone acually goes back after the first encounter

i havent, went in about a year ago and was grunted at for asking if they had a breakbeat section , so ive never been back.

although i may have a look in when i get payed

That's a shame.

Internet shopping must be killing the small independant record stores.

Nightmare.

T'Internet it is from now on. HMV on only get one good tune a month or something. And now they've got even less reason to try!!

Good crack was Flying

Bollox. Today is really bad. Flying is closing, bank refuses to give me money and get caught on the bus without a ticket. Even tho its in another pocket. I find the bastard, having paid for a new one and the bastard inspector refuses to refund it.

i used to love Flying way back when it was called Trax, they always used to be mega-helpful and had a wicked selection of stuff from all corners of the dance spectrum. I agree that it became a little intimidating in its later life tho... That said, shame its gone, as someone said above, it was indeed a Newcastle institution.

Havnt been to flying for a while now, used to go twice a week for ages when i was buying proggier stuff, always found them really helpful and friendly, only draw back is having to ask for the records to listen too. Tend to buy all my records from the internet now cos no where in town has a good range of breakbeat, HMV get the odd good tune in now and again and you can sometimes find a bargain in steel wheels. Shame its closed down tho, not really another record shop like it in town.

I heard it was cos the lease was up. Whether they didn't bother renewing it or were not able to...who knows??!??!
