0:00:07 > 0:00:15This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Sound It Out is the only record shop in Teesside,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01which is a massive area in the North East of England.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06It's quite disturbing, to tell you the truth.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I mean, I remember loads of shops when I was growing up
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and now there's none left at all.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You just go onto the internet, you go onto Google,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28type in "Teesside record shops" and I'm the only one that spouts up.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You'll like this one, it's good.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37There is an HMV, but we don't really count them as record shops.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Men like to collect, men like music,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50men collect music,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53men go touring country for music.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59That's why I like working here, because it's...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's not the ordinary people, it's the random people.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Now it's called the Jacksons. - The Jacksons best of or...?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24No, it's the English Jacksons not the American Jacksons.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26They call him Mike Jackson...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right. He wrote the song Blame It on the Boogie, didn't he?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31That's the one! Have you got an LP of it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's going to be something I'm going to have to investigate.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I can't say offhand.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I'll pop in next Saturday. - OK, mate, I can take your number.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- It's OK. See ya.- Cheers.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46There's a canny few.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49About 50,000 last count.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So if I came in and had a really, really specific record in mind
0:02:52 > 0:02:53would you be able to find it?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Yup. I could probably find it straight away.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I know where everything is here.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Everything?- 99%.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Have you got a copy of...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Three Feet High And Rising?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Nancy and Lee?- Erm, no.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16I've got one Nancy Sinatra CD and it's a Sundazed reissue from '96.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And that is over here. On CD.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21There you go.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Boots by Nancy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I knew I had one somewhere.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've been selling records in Stockton for 17 years.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Now that's frightening.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I am completely off the beaten track.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The only reason you come down here is the Job Centre's next to me.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02So you get people walking to the Job Centre.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04There's a cheap pub across the road.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07In fact, there's lots of cheap pubs around me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14INDISTINCT CHAT
0:04:14 > 0:04:15I am, yes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I've just heard a record in the pub there.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Sultans of Swing. Dire Straits.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Have you got it in? Or can you order it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I can order it, definitely. I'll just check if I've got it in.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Sultans of Swing. Dire Straits? - On CD or vinyl?- CD.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35There's no rush, mate, we've got all day.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I've got all day, rather.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- It's on here. Sultans of Swing.- Beautiful!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Money for Nothing album.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Say that again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- It's the first track on that album.- Is it?- Yep.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48There. Sultans Of Swing.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Oh, I can't see that. - Well, it's on there, first track.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'd need a magnifying glass to see that.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oh, beautiful.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Twice you've came in now and I've sorted you straight away.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Sorted me out, yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- That's £5.- £5, there we are, Thank you very much.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- If I hear any more I'll pop in. - Yes, please do.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Thank you very much. - No problem. Thank you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Good service.- Thank you.- Bye. - Bye-bye.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17People come in and want to speak to Tom.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19They've dealt with Tom for the last ten or 15 years.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22He knows what they like and they know
0:05:22 > 0:05:25that he will find something that they like.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Has he been on again?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Who?- Tom.- No. I'm expecting him to pop in.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- As in today?- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:44I like me music and without this, yes, there'd still be the live gigs
0:05:44 > 0:05:48but I wouldn't be able to source the vinyl that I want.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And Tom can nine times out of ten help me with that
0:05:52 > 0:05:54if it's a certain one I'm looking for.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58It might be as exactly the same record as I've already got
0:05:58 > 0:06:02but I am a person who will collect seven or eight versions
0:06:02 > 0:06:04of that record because of mis-spellings on the label
0:06:04 > 0:06:08or different coloured labels for that particular reason.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I mean, it's not fanatical. I don't think.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's just something that I enjoy, y'know?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18There's nothing like doing six solid nights,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21one after the other, of Quo.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Literally, your ears are bleeding you're bouncing up and down,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27and it takes you about a fortnight to come down from it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's great fun.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32People say I'm mad but I don't smoke, I don't drink,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I don't have a woman so... What more do you want?
0:06:51 > 0:06:57I mean, I've seen Quo, it'll be coming up...350,400 gigs.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00That is literally like an addiction.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's like going along to a drug dealer and going...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05And you go to a Quo gig and you're like...
0:07:05 > 0:07:06HE SNORTS
0:07:07 > 0:07:12About the last week before a gig I will play continual Quo,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14for a week solid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It get's me in the mood, y'know?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And you go there and you literally come out of there
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and you're soaking wet
0:07:21 > 0:07:24because you've literally been pogoing for about two hours solid.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28I mean, all you see when you go to a Glasgow Quo gig
0:07:28 > 0:07:31is the front five rows are just solid head-banging.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35That, is my...pride and joy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39That has never, ever, and I know this is going to
0:07:39 > 0:07:42sound absolutely gross, but that has never been washed
0:07:42 > 0:07:44since the day it was signed.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01That is a certain advertisement for a Mr Tom.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Sound It Out Records.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06He has departed me of my cash for most of this collection.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09At the end of the day, you know,
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Tom's one of very, very few people who is still an independent.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Like I say, you go to likes of...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- HE COUGHS - HMV.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21They're so impersonal.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26You know, it's like, it's the old battery farm.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Get them in, get the money off them, get them out.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Whereas, Tom is one of those who is passionate.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Every time I think of something or an artist to order,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'll write it down.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03But then it just gets piled and piled and piled up everywhere,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05as you can see.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Is David the one that keeps everything tidy?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26HE SIGHS
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Yes, and no. He keeps the shop tidy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I have an order here.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37It looks mental as here but I know where everything is
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and he comes in and tidies up and I lose track of everything.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42So what about your hyper dub stuff or your dance stuff?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Do you not want that in the dance section?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48It's dubstep, I don't want to ruin the dubstep.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I might have a purge of that cos...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So you could just purge the whole section.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Is it a big thing trying to organise the shop?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- HE SIGHS - Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, it's never ending. It's all for ever changing.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11That's why it does help to brief Tom on where I've moved stuff to
0:10:11 > 0:10:15because I just keep moving it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And now I can't remember where half the things are.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Who's in charge?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, that'll be him.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26All this work is never ending, but it's good.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I wouldn't change it for the world.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I have to listen to everything that comes in.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Every single style of music,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52so when someone comes in and asks for some free jazz
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I know where it is, I know what I've got in stock.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04All the many forms of dance music which is just...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And rock music as well.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08There are so many different genres.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's just an insane amount of genres.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25In Stockton I do sell a lot of heavy metal because it's a hard area
0:11:25 > 0:11:28so you get like people into heavy metal
0:11:28 > 0:11:32and you get them into hard dance music.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34HE SIGHS
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Makina is a made-up genre around here.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It only exists from Newcastle to Middlesbrough.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It doesn't exist anywhere else in the country, as far as I'm aware.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Except for Spain where the majority of the records do come from.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51It's like...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Oh, God.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Terrible nursery rhyme, cheesy trance.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is this all on, Tom?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04THUMPING DANCE MUSIC
0:12:10 > 0:12:13HE RAPS
0:12:17 > 0:12:19# Bounce with me, bounce with me
0:12:19 > 0:12:20# Feel the energy
0:12:20 > 0:12:22# Bounce with me, bounce with me
0:12:22 > 0:12:23# Feel the energy. #
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Think of a subject and then make a rhyme about it, really.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Most of them are about myself, about my life,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37things I've done, stuff like that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Catchy things what would stick in your head.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Bits of what you like about things and then put it into your rhymes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45People can relate to them, can't they?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48And that like you said there, just like Mario, you know what I mean?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Super Mario. I'm super just like Mario.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53There are loads of ones like that, aren't there?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58HE CONTINUES TO RAP
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I've DJd in a couple of places.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Most times is our mates' houses and that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26There are loads of us, about 20 of us one time there was.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28All 20 all fighting for toilet space.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31All crammed in a room like this.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33All crammed in a room smaller than this.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I get goosebumps and that when my mix is going tight,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39when my mix starts popping,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41popping is when both beats hit perfectly
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and it creates like a different sound.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46When it starts popping you get a good buzz out of it, it's class.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Everyone's dancing because of you,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50because he's playing the tunes and I'm MCing.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Proper class, you get a good buzz off it and that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Teamwork thing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58# You gotta bounce b-b-bounce!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# We gotta bounce b-b-bounce!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# B-b-bounce b-b-b-bounce! #
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Anyone can come in here and I'll talk to anyone, you know.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30And I'll talk to them about music, even if I don't like it or whatever,
0:14:30 > 0:14:35I'll talk to them because I get off on music so they can tell me
0:14:35 > 0:14:39what they think of things and...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Don't Want To Be Free, David, did you say?- Pardon?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Don't Want To Be Free.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Is that the single that you're looking for, that one?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yeah.- It was there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It just needs a new CD case on it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11She's in the back, she's in the back office on the computer.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15He's just jealous because I'm employee of the month every month.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's good because she'll come in
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and for all her technical and computer stuff
0:15:21 > 0:15:27she will kick Tom's backside and make stuff happen
0:15:27 > 0:15:28and push Tom to do stuff.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31What are you going to do about it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I'm just going to put stuff on. I know but you've had it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Kelly, I'm not giving excuses, right. It's really difficult.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I know it is.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43That's why you stay back after work when it's quiet and do it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's definitely a male obsession, as it were.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well, it is in here.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07I'd say 99% boys and 1% girls come here and buy records.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Yeah, out of every 100, maybe one girl.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13That's terrible.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I don't know what it is, it's the...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Blokes do like to collect things
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and they like to keep hold of their youth, I suppose.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Never grow up.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Boys don't want to grow up.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I don't want to grow up, it's full of responsibilities.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33There are lady collectors of vinyl
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- but they are very few and far between.- Why is that?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I don't know, I think it's seen as a pursuit for a gentleman
0:16:41 > 0:16:45and you just go out and go to the pub, down a few pints,
0:16:45 > 0:16:46you go to a record shop, you buy a few.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Where I hear these records, I go in The Garrick.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yes, well, they are always playing good stuff in there though.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Yes, yes, and you'll try your best with that other...?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- I've got it on my pin-board. - Pardon?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I've got it on my pin-board, don't worry.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Oh, have you? There we are. Thank you very much.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Not a problem.- Lovely job.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Are you photographing me again, darling?
0:17:11 > 0:17:12I am, yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Do you want any male models? Look at this.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- You're a fine specimen. - HE CHUCKLES
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I like the 60s and some 50s.
0:17:22 > 0:17:2660s, 70s and 80s.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32I'm building up a collection of discs.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And do you collect vinyl?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37No, no, no, I gave all my vinyl away.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42I shouldn't have because my favourite songs were on them as well.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And are you from Stockton?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Yes, I'm from Stockton, yes. Hampton Road, Oxbridge.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So if there's any young girls out there,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56must be over 18, I'm available.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58HE LAUGHS
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Do you think that will do you?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I think that's lovely.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Oh, well. I wish you the best of health.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36He's got a credit account.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He comes in once a month and pays £100 in each month.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's just easy if I know that it's only £100 a month.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It comes from working out a budget.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So you're a very loyal Sound It Out customer?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I've been buying records off Tom for what?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Nearly 20 years.- Nearly 20 years.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- It kept you out of trouble. - It keeps me out of trouble, yeah.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01What do you do for a living?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm an auditor.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Like an accountant?
0:19:06 > 0:19:11I work in insurance. Insurance auditor.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35I don't know, it's a collection of like the last 20 years
0:19:35 > 0:19:37of my music listening life.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43It's, you know, I can remember where I was when I bought the records.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45The first time I listened to records.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48There are like some records here that are just...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Really important.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Downstairs, I've got a CD player downstairs
0:20:08 > 0:20:11so I listen to CDs downstairs but this is for listening to my records.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16They get played and go straight back in their sleeves.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18They don't stay on the turntable or anything like that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21It's very much, listen to then put them back into the bag.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24How's your collection organised?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Alphabetically.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32And all the artists are then ordered chronologically,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35albums and singles.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36The collection now is so big,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39if I want to find a record, if it wasn't in an order,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42you know, there's 2,000 records here, it'll take me a while to find them.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Whereas, if I wanted to listen to mid-period David Bowie
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I know exactly where it is.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49The Man Who Sold the World,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hunky Dory, The World Of David Bowie.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54The reissue of The World of David Bowie with a different cover.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I don't know why I've got the same songs twice.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Changes One, then Low, Heroes, Stage, Lodger, Scary Monsters, Changes Two.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's Dance with the £2 sticker on it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I think I do like organising.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Record collections are never finished,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18they will only be finished when they stop selling records
0:21:18 > 0:21:21and I don't think that's going to happen, so it'll never be completed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I don't know what I'm going to do when that box is full.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I need to find more space because there's no more room for records in here.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30There's two boxes at the top of the stairs
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and they'll be in my room next.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55My addiction with records is I'm addicted to music.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00I like to hear everything at least once.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02That sounds mad.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06What is it about records?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Just having like for example having the original release of something.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Half the guys that buy these records probably don't play them
0:22:17 > 0:22:19but they have got them in their hands
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and they're in their shelf and they're in their label and you know.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27With records it's never ending.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34You can go on and on and on and on.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I've just had a sort out and have a few records.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Probably about seven.- Fine, fine.
0:23:06 > 0:23:1013, 14, 15 there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15That's five and ten.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Cheers, Graham.- I'll be back. - OK, see you later.- See you later.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's like 80s pop stuff.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I can't do anything with them, I'm afraid. The box is nice.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The box is worth more than the records.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32HE LAUGHS Fair enough.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33- Cheers.- Cheers. Thank you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Unfortunately, the Beatles ones are too scratched for me.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Yeah.- But it was nice to see them.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's just like they have been well loved,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47they have been well played, you know.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51So I can't sell them so...
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Do you get a lot of people in selling?
0:23:59 > 0:24:05Yes, not as much as I used to but it's just how it goes with,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08you know, like peoples' jobs
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and people don't have a record player any more.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15That's how I get most of my second hand stock.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Off sort of people like himself.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's always quite heart breaking
0:24:19 > 0:24:23sometimes when I have to go, "No, thank you",
0:24:23 > 0:24:26even though it's a great album,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30but it's been well, well played.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I'll try to do it without taking the whole KLF and my collection of cobwebs down as well.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42There you go.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Thank you.- Not a problem.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18What have you got?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22It's a very obscure thrash album from 1989, I think.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Do you come in here much, in the shop?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Quite a lot, yeah. - What does the shop mean to you?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Quite a bit.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37It's one of the only places I can pick my relentlessly obscure music.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41What sort of music do you like? What are you a fan of?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Anything that's suffixed by the word metal. Essentially.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Once you've been in it for a few years, you tend to start one of these
0:26:05 > 0:26:08and that's called a battle jacket.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Well, the idea behind it is you make one because you can get more
0:26:12 > 0:26:16bands on it than just the one on your t-shirt.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- And eventually...- It'll look like this and smell like this.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It'll look like this and start smelling a little bit ripe.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Mine smells a lot worse. - Yours smells like cheese.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33On here I've got like Sodom, Razor, At The Gates, Forbidden, Death Angel,
0:26:33 > 0:26:39- DSI, Carcass all sorts of choice cuts from the...- Morbid shaped.
0:26:39 > 0:26:47Morbid and intensely strange world of heavy metal.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48And you never take it off.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I know. It's becoming an extension of my torso.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56The more time you put into one,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59the more sort of respect you get, really.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- From the community.- Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You've put a fair amount of love into it
0:27:05 > 0:27:10and it's love that you get from the love of the music.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13This back patch took me three hours to stencil and paint
0:27:13 > 0:27:19and I've had a lot of comments about how well sorted it is.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It takes a lot of work and love to do it
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and it's the love that counts, really.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26What is Pisschrist?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28An Australian D-Beat crust band.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- D-Beat?- Yeah, it's D-Beat.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Have you not made that up?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36No, that is a genre, actually. That's what Wolfsbane are.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:27:46 > 0:27:50THEY SING ALONG
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Every second in the day that I can fill with music
0:28:03 > 0:28:04I will fill with music.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Even if it's ten seconds, I'll put something on
0:28:07 > 0:28:10because it's everything.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15If it wasn't for the music I listen to, I wouldn't be who I am now.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- We wouldn't look and act the way we do now.- Yeah.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20But who are you then?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I don't know, who are you? What are you doing in my house?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27We are general delinquents, really.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Well, thank you for that one, yeah.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54It's quite a hard town,
0:28:54 > 0:29:00it's quite a poor town, but there is such a lot of characters,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02that's why I like it so much.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10But if you go and have a look on the high street
0:29:10 > 0:29:13you will just see many, many charity shops
0:29:13 > 0:29:15and many, many pound shops,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19which is very sad because it used to be, it's still the widest
0:29:19 > 0:29:23high street in Europe, but they don't play on that any more.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Terrible really, nothing to do at all. No jobs.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'd do any job because like, I needed the money
0:29:35 > 0:29:38because I had a son and that. So I'd do anything for a job now.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Mechanics or something really, or painting and decorating,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44but like no jobs at all round here.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I've been trying and trying, but can't get a job nowhere.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Boredom all the time really,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59nowhere to go, there is nothing to do,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02just like all the youths getting in trouble and that.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05There should be like a youth club or something, you know what I mean,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07for people to keep out of trouble, but there's not.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Never been since I was a kid and there still isn't now, ten year on.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Like, everyone around here, they all drink, nearly every day,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16like smoke, nearly every day, and like...
0:30:16 > 0:30:18It is hard to stay out of trouble, like,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20you've just got to change, your friends really,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22like I used to get in trouble all the time,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25and like now I've changed my friends and now I don't get in trouble.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26So that's why me and Frankey DJ and MC,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29it's like something to do, it keeps out of trouble.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It's dreadful!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It's home really, it's awful but it's just,
0:30:42 > 0:30:47- it's where we're from so we can't really hate it that much.- I can.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50See it's everyone like you and Jess are going,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52"oh, I want to move away to London..."
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I love it here, I love the North East.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I'm sorry, there is nothing to do up here.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I know the North East better than I know anywhere,
0:31:00 > 0:31:04and it's just sort of safe for me, I feel safe here.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10# My life flashed before me
0:31:15 > 0:31:20# Is this so different?
0:31:20 > 0:31:25# Is this all you can do?
0:31:25 > 0:31:31# When faced with the difference of me. #
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Is that kettle on, Tom?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- The kettle can be on, Bob. - Oh, right, excellent.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Can't you hear it? I can hear it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45We have got an artist on playing live, Saint Saviour.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50She turns out, she's from Stockton, so that's quite good really,
0:31:50 > 0:31:55she wanted to play in the shop, which is bizarre, but exciting.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Compared to say somewhere like Brixton Academy, which is like,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01where she's apparently played and nearly sold out,
0:32:01 > 0:32:05it's quite daunting really, but it will be fun, I think.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Is it scary coming back with the idea
0:32:10 > 0:32:13that you might see people from school?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Yeah, that's the most scary thing.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20When I was growing up in Stockton, I was the shyest kid,
0:32:20 > 0:32:26and I was quite an awkward, skinny, ginger, freckly girl,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and I hated school, I hated growing up,
0:32:29 > 0:32:35and then I moved to London and just reinvented myself.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38So, yeah, when you come back, people know you,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42people actually know who you really are.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Hello everybody My name is Becky,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51AKA Saint Saviour.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57I'm a Stockton girl and I've come back for the weekend to sing for you.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Thank you.- Thank you for having me.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03So I'm going to play a few tunes,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07I usually have a big band with me but I couldn't fit them in the shop,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and also they just wouldn't come up here,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12so I came up on my own!
0:33:13 > 0:33:15This is a song called When You Smile.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39# From the start
0:33:39 > 0:33:43# I wished for a brave old heart
0:33:43 > 0:33:46# But all the while
0:33:46 > 0:33:51# I was such a shy child
0:33:51 > 0:33:53# And there again
0:33:56 > 0:33:59# I'm lost in the dragon's den
0:33:59 > 0:34:02# Here comes my knight
0:34:03 > 0:34:07# And saved by modern life
0:34:07 > 0:34:09# Cos I don't need
0:34:11 > 0:34:14# No suit of armour
0:34:14 > 0:34:17# Cos my instincts
0:34:17 > 0:34:21# Are scared of you
0:34:22 > 0:34:30# When you smile
0:34:30 > 0:34:34# When you smile
0:34:34 > 0:34:37# Ooh
0:34:39 > 0:34:47# Cos I don't need no sword and shield
0:34:48 > 0:34:50# Cos my instincts
0:34:52 > 0:34:55# Are scared of you. #
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Sorry, all my songs have really sudden endings,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02it's because I haven't worked them out.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06So...
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- What's the name?- Shane.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Cool.- Thank you very much. - Cheers, nice to meet you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Thank you, as well. Thanks a lot. Bye.
0:35:34 > 0:35:42I was rummaging around my music corner and I come across this.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50All the songs are on there, and it's a double one.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- It's an old one, isn't it? - There's a barcode on that,
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- and I don't know whether it will tell you what title it is.- Yep.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Well, it's basically called More Rock 'N' Roll Love Songs.- Oh.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Is it something you want another copy..?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I've lost the discs, I don't know where the discs are.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I want to re-order it if possible.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Now, being an old one, it could be out of circulation,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13so what I'll do, I'll have a look on the computer, see what I can find.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- OK.- I'll be a minute, OK. - Oh, that's fine.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20We'll have a look at a couple of discs, Janet, for you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Now then, where's rock?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Oh, there's Blondie. - I don't want Blondie.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- You don't want Blondie?- No.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Adam and the Ants, you have a look at that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44There's Bon Jovi, who's them?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I'd rather keep my comments to myself,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49I had a girlfriend every night before I met this one.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52It's more of a fun marriage then was it?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Married? Oh, I'm not married. I'm still single.- Still single?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Oh, yes, I'm still looking for a millionairess.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Ooh, that's good.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Is it 46 year, we've been with each other?
0:37:05 > 0:37:06There abouts.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09I could've done a life sentence and been free.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10You could of.
0:37:10 > 0:37:17I'm going to buy a grave, a grave plot,
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I'm getting ready for the endless sleep. See you later.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Tada, darling. Love you, Baby.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35HE LAUGHS
0:37:41 > 0:37:46# Later when you came back
0:37:46 > 0:37:50# And I had no energy left
0:37:52 > 0:37:59# So we just walked round town... #
0:37:59 > 0:38:03I think when I first started collecting records properly,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06it was when you could still buy vinyl in record shops,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10and you could just go in, and you know, there was there must have been,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12what, one, two, at least three in Stockton,
0:38:12 > 0:38:15maybe, oh, there was four. There was Record Marks.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17There were four shops, five, no, there were five,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20then there was the flea market, so there were six places
0:38:20 > 0:38:22you could buy records, when I first started collecting.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Maybe even seven, if I think about Smiths as well.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32My first record player was my parents'
0:38:32 > 0:38:35old home entertainment thing, with the arm,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38and you could stack seven inches up and pull the handle down,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41and we didn't have a CD player for a long time,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45and you get used to the sound, I don't mind CDs,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48it's just I prefer the sound of the vinyl.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52# Fortune reign
0:38:53 > 0:39:01# And I know where you'll be... #
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Tom's shop, the only shop in the North East,
0:39:05 > 0:39:09once or twice a month he sees me,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11because I'm more selective with what I buy,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I won't just go in and buy something you know,
0:39:13 > 0:39:14I'm more selective.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17It's because you want the power tunes, the ones no-one else has got.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Yeah, yeah, I like the power tunes.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21When you go to Tom's and find the tune you've wanted for ages,
0:39:21 > 0:39:26it's like a little buzz and relief, like you finally found it,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29"yes, I've finally got it after all this looking,
0:39:29 > 0:39:30"like it's my tune now."
0:39:32 > 0:39:34I'm going to take these,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37because otherwise he'll have me spending more money that I've got.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40What this man doesn't know about music isn't worth knowing.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I don't know, I just like going there because, you know,
0:39:45 > 0:39:46you can always talk to him,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48talk to David as well, it's just, you know,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50you never know what's going to be in there,
0:39:50 > 0:39:55he sends me texts, "I've got these records."
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Sound It Out has everything,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03but with Tom, in a way he is a feeder,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Tom feeds people with what they need.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09God, that sounds really bad, doesn't it?
0:40:09 > 0:40:15No, but he is their feeder he is basically their dealer.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18You know, he is their dealer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Well, I've got a Will Oldham album up there.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Nah, stop it, stop now. - That'll do for the time being.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I definitely want that one.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Yeah, it was my first record I ever bought, I got it from Sound It Out.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I don't know, it was just brilliant
0:40:37 > 0:40:39when I found out that he had one in Stockton,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43because I could go there instead of paying about eight quid
0:40:43 > 0:40:45to go to Newcastle.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- To not come back with anything. - To not come back with anything.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50It's a safe home for everyone really.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53It's just everyone swallows their differences once they get inside.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58- It's like the last bastion of sensibleness...- ..in the world?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00No, in Stockton, certainly.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Imagine the horrible scenario that...
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Don't even go there. I know what you're going to say, aren't you?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20If he had to go? If he disappeared?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25I would literally, physically cry.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Stockton's a very cheap place, well, the high street
0:41:32 > 0:41:37is very expensive, but where I am, it's very cheap.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38It's the cheapest rent in town where I am,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42and that's why I've probably been here as long as I have.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49About a year and a half ago the landlord of this block,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52and the landlord of the next block were on about redeveloping
0:41:52 > 0:41:54the whole block of shops,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56and so for the whole year I was,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I didn't know what was going on, I was just going,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00"right, I'm going to have to..."
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Because it was going month by month, if I had to close the shop,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I'd know within a month of clearing the shop,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11and so I just contemplated just closing completely,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13and selling online for a while,
0:42:13 > 0:42:17then going to do something completely different,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20but luckily I'm still here, I'm still selling records.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Do you worry about the future of the shop?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Yeah, I worry about everything,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47because I had this whole complacent attitude to, like...
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Just over a year ago, thinking, "oh, the recession,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53"I don't think that will ever affect me."
0:42:54 > 0:42:57I worked for Zavvi for ten years.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01And then Woolworths went down,
0:43:01 > 0:43:07and their supplier of all their media stock was our supplier,
0:43:07 > 0:43:11which because it was technically the same company,
0:43:11 > 0:43:12it went under with Woolworths,
0:43:12 > 0:43:17and then no-one would give, like Virgin or Zavvi,
0:43:17 > 0:43:23good dealer rights, and basically that sucked us with it.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26We found out we were losing our jobs on Christmas Eve.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Then Tom was like, "you know, why don't you come and work for me?"
0:43:33 > 0:43:34I said, "well, do you want us?" He goes,
0:43:34 > 0:43:37"well, you can come and do it." So, yeah...
0:43:38 > 0:43:40..very grateful.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50God forbid if this ever went, it'd leave a huge void.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00# Routine bites hard
0:44:00 > 0:44:03# And ambitions are low
0:44:04 > 0:44:08# And resentment rides high
0:44:08 > 0:44:11# But emotions won't grow... #
0:44:11 > 0:44:14'It's all about emotions, records. Emotions and memories.'
0:44:16 > 0:44:20'I can tell you exactly what I was doing when I play a record.'
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Where I was, who I was going out with, it's all about memories.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Records hold memories.
0:44:29 > 0:44:34# Love will tear us apart again. #
0:44:34 > 0:44:37I'm going through this bag of records now,
0:44:37 > 0:44:43and I can hear every single tune in my head, what it sounds like.
0:44:43 > 0:44:48But it's never-ending. That's the curse of record shops.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51You might think you have everything you've ever wanted,
0:44:51 > 0:44:54and then you go, "Oh, what's that"?
0:44:54 > 0:44:57# Turned away on your side
0:44:58 > 0:45:00# Is my timing that flawed?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05# Our respect run so dry?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08# Yet there's still this appeal
0:45:10 > 0:45:13# That we've kept through our lives
0:45:15 > 0:45:20# Love, love will tear us apart, Again
0:45:22 > 0:45:28# Love, love will tear us apart. #
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Music just helps me get along, because without music
0:45:31 > 0:45:34I don't honestly think I'd still be here, really.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38I'd be six feet under by now if I didn't have any sort of song
0:45:38 > 0:45:41blasting in my ears every second I can.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42I'm not proud to admit,
0:45:42 > 0:45:47but I have made a few attempts at, like, ending my life,
0:45:47 > 0:45:51but if it wasn't for him and a lot of the stuff that I have on my iPod
0:45:51 > 0:45:54at the moment, I wouldn't be here.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58# Turn that system down. #
0:45:58 > 0:46:02'I can safely say that if it wasn't for Skindred, I wouldn't be here.'
0:46:02 > 0:46:06'I don't know why, just their enthusiasm.'
0:46:06 > 0:46:08'It's a life-line, really.'
0:46:08 > 0:46:10# Cannot take the music killa sound
0:46:10 > 0:46:17# Yeah we'll turn it up But never down
0:46:17 > 0:46:20# Stress it just drives Them underground
0:46:20 > 0:46:24# Cannot take the music killa sound
0:46:24 > 0:46:28# Yeah we'll turn it up But never down
0:46:28 > 0:46:32# Stress it just drives Them underground
0:46:32 > 0:46:35# Cannot take the music killa sound
0:46:35 > 0:46:39# Yeah we'll turn it up But never down
0:46:42 > 0:46:43# Pressure
0:46:45 > 0:46:46# Pressure. #
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Unfortunately, due to medical grounds,
0:46:52 > 0:46:54I couldn't go to a normal school,
0:46:54 > 0:46:58so I got put to what they called a "spastic school" at the time,
0:46:58 > 0:46:59which I hate the term,
0:46:59 > 0:47:01because I was called it for about fourteen years
0:47:01 > 0:47:04and I think that was part of the reason why
0:47:04 > 0:47:08I became sort of a bit reclusive and started this, you know.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11That's one of the reasons, I look back on life,
0:47:11 > 0:47:14you don't do it at the time, but you look back at it
0:47:14 > 0:47:17and think maybe that was sort of a catalyst.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21Then you think, "Well, it's you, your records, you're on your own."
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Why did you end up going to a special school?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Basically, I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy,
0:47:27 > 0:47:32epilepsy and hydrocephalus, which is fluid on the brain.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38All of which is, touch wood, under control,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41you know, with medication,
0:47:41 > 0:47:45but it does limit you in what you can do and what you can't do.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47I mean, for instance, I can't drive,
0:47:47 > 0:47:49never will be able to, one of those things,
0:47:49 > 0:47:53and I ended up on the dole for nearly six years
0:47:53 > 0:47:56because at that time nobody wanted to employ a "spacka",
0:47:56 > 0:47:57as they called them.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01Now they can't get away with it, of calling you that,
0:48:01 > 0:48:03but there is still prejudice out there.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04What's your job?
0:48:04 > 0:48:08I work permanent nights for B&Q.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13Basically, pure and simple terms, a shelf stacker.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Empty the wagons, fill the shelves, make it all look pretty
0:48:16 > 0:48:19for you people to come and spend your money and pay my wages.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22That's the way I look at it, anyway.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28What I think about when I'm working is, go in, clock on,
0:48:28 > 0:48:31do the job, clock off, go home.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33This is my release.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35# If you want to turn me onto
0:48:35 > 0:48:38# Anything you really want to
0:48:38 > 0:48:41# Turn me onto your love
0:48:41 > 0:48:42# Sweet love
0:48:46 > 0:48:48# Come on, sweet Caroline
0:48:48 > 0:48:51# You're my sweet Caroline
0:48:51 > 0:48:52# You know I want to take you
0:48:52 > 0:48:54# I've really got to make you
0:48:54 > 0:48:57# Come on, sweet Caroline
0:48:57 > 0:48:59# Take my hand
0:48:59 > 0:49:02# Together we can rock'n'roll. #
0:49:03 > 0:49:06When is your record collection going to be complete?
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Never, never.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13It will... I mean, I have already said,
0:49:13 > 0:49:17I have been doing research into this, this sounds morbid I know,
0:49:17 > 0:49:22but one of the things I've looked into is, actually,
0:49:22 > 0:49:26I would begrudge selling this on to somebody,
0:49:26 > 0:49:28because I don't know they would actually look after it.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31I don't have any children myself, I don't have a partner,
0:49:32 > 0:49:39and I thought, "Well, what's the one way I'd like to be with my records?"
0:49:39 > 0:49:42I thought, "Well, how about being buried with them?"
0:49:42 > 0:49:44and I was actually talking to a friend of mine
0:49:44 > 0:49:47who is actually an undertaker, and he said,
0:49:47 > 0:49:50"You know, there is actually two or three companies
0:49:50 > 0:49:53"that can melt your vinyl down," he said, "And make it into a coffin."
0:49:54 > 0:49:59So that's one of my things on my will, to have my vinyl melted down
0:49:59 > 0:50:01and be buried with my vinyl.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04In a vinyl coffin.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06It's my idea of taking it with me,
0:50:06 > 0:50:10you know, because to me, it means so much to me.
0:50:10 > 0:50:11You know?
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Oh, let's have a look at these, Janet.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Oh, let's have a look at these.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Is this what you like?
0:50:53 > 0:50:54Meat Loaf, yeah.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Oh, that looks nice.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Meat Loaf, that one there.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Meat Loaf, again.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04- Have you got it? - Yeah.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06And Meat Loaf again.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I think I can afford the three for you, Janet.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12- We'll get the three of these. - OK.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Yes, lovely, smashing.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18Yes, good shop, this. Good shop.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20So, are you the Meat Loaf fan?
0:51:20 > 0:51:21Yeah.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24She's got her own Jukebox. She's got her own Jukebox.
0:51:24 > 0:51:25I've got my own Jukebox, yeah.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28What is it about Meat Loaf, then?
0:51:28 > 0:51:31I just like the way he sings, he sings nice.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33I'm going to build a little collection up for her.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36A collection of vinyls, I mean.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I'm glad that record player works for you, as well.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39Oh, it's great.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42- The best fiver you've spent for a long time, I should imagine.- Yeah.
0:51:42 > 0:51:43You've got to keep getting up, like.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46Oh, well, that's the half the fun of records, keeps you fit.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Yeah, well, she's got to keep getting up.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50Ah.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52What have you got planned for the rest of the day?
0:51:52 > 0:51:56Well, I'm going to have three bottles of brown ale,
0:51:56 > 0:51:59then we're going on the market, shopping.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01We've got the music first.
0:52:01 > 0:52:06We always come here, yes, good service.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Anything you want, you can get it in here.
0:52:11 > 0:52:17That's excluding loose women from Taiwan.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22See you later, gentlemen!
0:52:22 > 0:52:23Bye.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Bye-bye, pet.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Bye.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27Goodbye.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34He's lovely.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40It's record shop day.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41Store day.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Record store day, yeah.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45It started three years ago...
0:52:45 > 0:52:47- In the states. - ..in the states,
0:52:47 > 0:52:50and it was to celebrate all these indie shops in the states.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53There's actually about as many independent record shops
0:52:53 > 0:52:56in the states now as there is in the UK,
0:52:56 > 0:52:59because the numbers have reduced that many.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02You know, when you think about how big America is
0:53:02 > 0:53:04and there is the same number of indie shops there.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06It's ridiculous.
0:53:13 > 0:53:18So far, already, it's been busy, like busier than normal for a Saturday,
0:53:18 > 0:53:21and today we've got a few bands playing
0:53:21 > 0:53:24like Russell and the Wolves, who are just nuts.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26They're like The Cramps but louder.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28It's going to be busy with customers,
0:53:28 > 0:53:31but also going to be busy with people coming to see the band as well,
0:53:31 > 0:53:35and so it's going to be very interesting.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46SINGS INDISTINCTLY
0:55:20 > 0:55:23I love it when it's busy like that.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27If that was like that all the time I'd be quite happy.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31When I'm just on my feet and serving four people at once, that's great.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34I love that. When it's quiet and it's just like...
0:55:34 > 0:55:38You get a bit lethargic, but that, I'm, like, totally on a high now.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41I'm knackered, but I'm totally on a high.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44It's probably the busiest day of this year, I think.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Busier than Christmas.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47Busiest day ever, ever.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49It probably is the busiest day.
0:55:49 > 0:55:50In my books for the year,
0:55:50 > 0:55:52there will be a spike on this day, going up.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06'I think the shop is an escape for a lot of people.'
0:56:06 > 0:56:11'It's somewhere for them to go and escape their lives for an hour.'
0:56:13 > 0:56:14'And that's important.'
0:56:15 > 0:56:18'You put a record on and you're totally taken away
0:56:18 > 0:56:21'for however long the record lasts.'
0:56:21 > 0:56:24'and I think there's always going to be a market for that.'
0:56:24 > 0:56:26# Supper in black
0:56:26 > 0:56:27# Smoking jacket still intact
0:56:27 > 0:56:30# And I believe
0:56:30 > 0:56:32# You're anything but sad
0:56:43 > 0:56:45# Suffer alone
0:56:48 > 0:56:51# Some home
0:56:53 > 0:56:55# Suffer alone
0:57:00 > 0:57:04# Some home
0:57:07 > 0:57:10# Suffer alone
0:57:13 > 0:57:16# Some home
0:57:17 > 0:57:19# Suffer alone
0:57:23 > 0:57:28# Some home
0:57:28 > 0:57:31# Suffer alone
