So, the JBs near me have uniformly great selections of new records. Although I buy mainly used, their selection is 5*, I bought two yesterday. BING!

Their prices are often cheaper than other stores I frequent, unless I'm in those on markdown day or have store-points to claim. BING!

The chances of finding an LP I want that has not been creased because some twat has bent it forward in their forever-overstuffed shelves is almost nil. BUZZ!!!!

Local JB's record bins are bulging with damaged wares too.

Not helped by newcomers who have never handled a record before.

The Queen Street store is the worst, but can't say I've come across any bent covers.

Lynn Mall and Manukau stores last time I've been were not so overstuffed.

But one record cover sent from their Palmy store had more wrinkles than Keith Richards.

Might have been one of my returns
