Philippe’s Rat Records Blog

Oulalalalalalal!!!! Mes amis de Rat Records, let me tell you, this is as good as it gets in here!! We are really excited by the stock that Tom has been bringing in over the past 3 days.

All in all, we are talking about 5 different collections, and our drawers that were completely empty on Monday, are now overflowing with enough stock for the next 6 coming weeks at least.

So it goes like this :
on Tuesday Tom visited a man who had decided to part company with his partner of 20years, a fine collection of bleak nihilistic dark metalist Rock that brought tears to my eyes and joy to my ever so disintegrating earing.
If you like Indus, Metal, Post punk, Grunge and growling Indie, then you’re in for a treat.

On Wednesday, Tom visited a man who had decided to part company with his partner of 40years, a pretty collection of over1000 Soul and Disco 12’s and LP’s he had barely ever dared touching with his own fingers , if we are to judge by the pristine condition they arrived here.

This was followed by yet another collection of the same calibre, and then a nice buy of classic Reggae roots originals-12’s, LP’s and &inches.

Our expert on the matter , Mr Dominic Dawson, has this to tell you all : Hello folks! Well I’m not even gonna go into names here but what I will tell you is that in 25 years of collecting and working in the business I have not seen a record collection in such amazing condition, you can safely asume thatthe quality is high too, oh and the reggae is great although been to a few parties but I have seen a lot worse…

And today, as if we didn’t have enough on our hands, he walked in with a few boxes of amazzing classic 60’s Rock and early Punk that he had bought from the survivor of a man who had decided (or not) to part with life!!!

And now we might just have a brand new lugubrious motto :

RAT RECORDS: YOU DIE, WE BUY!!!!

See you all on Saturdaze!!!
