Buying vinyl & CDs in Blackburn
Blackburn was a cotton weaving town on a scale that made it one of the most important in the world, and the Victorian mill architecture and terraced streets remain the shape of the town. It has a large and long-established South Asian community and the moors rise directly behind it.
A collection being cleared moves as a lot and goes to whoever can carry it away, since boxing and sending hundreds of records is barely worth doing. Turning up with a car is most of what secures the good ones.
What to check in person
Ask to hear a track if there is a deck to hand, because surface noise and a warp are audible long before they are visible. Lay the disc flat and sight across it for dishing, which no amount of cleaning will correct.
Collecting it in Blackburn
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The terraced streets are narrow with limited parking, so confirm access before agreeing to anything large. The centre and the station are compact and easy for smaller items.
