A record store in London’s Soho district is for sale on eBay. 35 years after opening On The Beat Records, owner Tim Derbyshire is ready to pass on the shop to someone else via eBay. From the listing:
If you’re at the stage in your life when you don’t have to worry about making money but can live the bohemian life, meet interesting people every day and the occasional pop or rock star, here’s your chance to take over the oldest record shop in the centre of Swinging London. It’s been there for five decades, right in Soho and just around the corner from Tin Pan Alley. A vinyl treasure trove with a pulsing, groovin’ history steeped in its very walls. You can make history and take it over! Without someone buying it, it will disappear. If you’re mad about music, love vinyl and want to keep the dream alive, here’s your chance to take on an Aladdin’s Cave of musical gems.
Bid on the shop right here.
