Cataloguing My Prog Collection

I guess, we're some of the more heavy boys, Catcher. 

The record store has declined significantly in the UK too, over the years, although there is certainly now a resurgence in Vinyl and the ensuing collector's fairs. Some towns and cities have seen independent record stores opening up selling second hand vinyl, along with Hifi equipment to make ends meet, although the chances of coming across some quality prog would be very hit and miss and it isn't cheap!

Concerning concerts, we are indeed very well blessed; I don't think we'll realise quite to what extent, until it we lose it... TPA does a very good gig guide, which you can see here:

I agree, they're not Psychedelic Rock, so I removed them.

Back in the 1990s I used to frequent an HMV in Toronto on Yonge Street (I live in Pennsylvania, but used to make trips up to Toronto and Niagara Falls almost annually in the 1990s; the US/Canadian exchange rate back then made the trip worth the effort). They had their own prog section on the second floor. Alas, the store closed in 2017. I believe there may have been an HMV in Manhattan, but I never got a chance to visit it (there were other more significant record stores back in the day). Sometimes I wish I lived in the U.K. You folks have better stores and more concerts to go to than I can in the States.

Toronto was also home to another small CD store called Black Planet, which also doubled as the North American distribution center for Si-Wan Records (based out of Seoul, Korea), which published reissues of obscure prog rock bands.

 

We used to have three HMV stores in Nottingham at one time, but they closed two of them down several years ago, leaving just one over-priced and under-stocked store in the Victoria Centre.

You'd have to be really optimistic to believe that HMV have a BJH section.
