The music
that we sell and why
:
There is a growing
number of people whom feel that today’s market is saturated too much
from the likes of “Pop Idol” and “Fame Academy”, with the music
industry as a whole pouring money into manufactured pop groups that
will sell them number 1 ‘s. The exception being the usual mainstream
groups e.g. “Bon Jovi”,” Def Leppard” or even “Whitesnake” (that are
now touring again). There is not much real talent around. Hence the
revival of music from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s, and the growth in
demand for shops such as “Jamming With Edward”. Here, customers can
find recordings by “Led Zeppelin”, “Crosby Stills and Nash”, “Emerson
Lake and Palmer”, “Pink Floyd”, “The Hollies”, “Small Faces”, “George
Harrison”, and “Yes”, to name but a few of these truly talented
artists.
My policy for buying-in the new stock of compact discs will
be quite strict. They must be complete with nothing missing. I want to
make sure that I will get a good name for myself as well as the
business. People do not want to buy rubbish - for that they can go to
car boot sales. The best way to obtain good stock of second-hand goods
is either by “over-the-counter” purchases, or going to the houses of
people, who are getting rid of their unwanted cd collections. I will
have trade accounts with localised suppliers for new stock.
Also, if they do not want the vinyl version, then I will be keeping in
stock complete back catalogues on cd format. If I do not have
something in stock that the customer would like, then I will offer to
order it in for them.
I list below the range of music that I intend to sell in the
shop, and promote with both sales techniques and advertisement.
American West Cost sound – “Jefferson Airplane” and “The
Byrd’s”, and then just in general, “Crosby Stills and Nash”, “Canned
Heat”, “The Eagles”, “Ten Years After”, “Credence Clear Water
Revival”, “The Doors”, and so on .
Then there is the progressive rock sound, - “Yes”, “Deep
Purple”, “Colisseum”, “Pink Floyd”, “Curved Air”, “Manfred Mann Earth
Band”, “Jethro Tull” ,”Focus”, “David Bowie”, ”Roxy Music”, “The Moody
Blues”, “Steve Hillage”, “Rick Wakemen”, “The Nice”, “Emerson Lake and
Palmer”, “Alan Parson”, project and so on.
Other Artists like “James Brown”, “Chuck Berry”, “Eric
Clapton”, “The Hollies” “Small Faces”, “Rod Stewart and the Faces”,
would also be included.
It is our policy
to both sell and promote music by the artists above in the shop. However, we will still sell music from the new and upcoming
bands that have been around for a while, such as “Travis”, “Oasis”,
“Blur”, “Ocean Colour Scene” , etc.
The biggest
sections that have proven to be most popular are “Hard Rock/ “Heavy
Metal” and “Progressive Rock”. This is an area we will be expanding at
first.
