No idea. Not been on there this week...

Tune Inn is no more.

I knew pete when he was running this as a business out of his bedroom at his mums and he quickly moved the business into several phases including running four labels and two off-shoots including an american label.

I count Pete as a friend and am sad to see that this has happened, but as he said himself, the market is pretty crap at the moment and digital downloading and MP3/CD DJ's have killed the vinyl market.

I think we owe Pete a debt of thanks (especially in Selby where we all live) for providing a decent northern hub for dance music.

Pete, Dean and Phil Walls have all played a part in running the shop over the years and no doubt those of you who shopped there have spoken to them more than once over the years. I am pleased to report that Dean and Phil have got other jobs elsewhere and life continues for them.

On a positive note Pete has many DJing commitments worldwide and will be going in that direction with an important release on a VERY well known label scheduled for relsease soemtime in the coming year [watch this space]

I for one am gutted for him, i know how much effort he put into the place. Times are hard and getting harder for vinyl retailers, it begs the quiestion, what next?

OVer the last ten years i have bought a lot of tunes there and spent many a stoned afternoon browsing and chatting with the lads there and i know that it was responsible for getting more than a few DJ gigs for chris gawtry and DJ Swiv. A lost resource.

WELL DONE PETE! GOOD LUCK WITH THE FUTURE CHIEF! BWENT!

**MARK NEENAN** · 21-07-2005, 09:11 AM

What about all the stock they had in the shop?
Selling them off cheap at all?

:lol:

**Si the Sigh** · 21-07-2005, 09:26 AM

No way...Shocking news!

Cheap vinyl? :?:

**RDR** · 21-07-2005, 11:24 AM

half price on all vinyl.

But you're gonna have to get there personally. no phone or web orders.

I got a load of electro downtempo as am playing backrooms in slovenia next month.

end of an era.

Hi

I would like you to know that Tune Inn has today gone in to voluntary
liquidation.. (We have gone bust!!).

The Mp3 race has caught up with us and unfortunately seems like it may well be
the end for vinyl.

I would like to thank you all for being great customers. It has been a great 9
Years and we have all had the best times of our lives doing what we did.

Thanks again

Pete Gawtry

this is a sad day. i've been with them for 5 years. what am i going to do now?! my favorite website is done for!

****, what a thing to wake up too.

honestly, buy your tunes in Germany. Even Uk relases are only £5.50 on mport - German stuff is like £4.00. If you buy over 100 euro at one go you get postage free. I use www.music-head.de. They order stuff in for you - if its not stocked and in 2 years I've always had every package on time, in perfect condition. the odd faulty press has been replaced for free without sending back the original. opens your mind to a massive range of european techno - a quality way past 80% of UK releases, imho. They also lump all techno together so you get to listen to a wider range of tunes than all UK stores I've used except Juno. Humpty-Stuttart.de and deejay.de are exellent too.

sorry to hear that tuneinn has gone down. i'm interested in the true impact of CD and MP3. I only really see hard dance/trance DJs playing CDs but the creep must moving them into every genre? I've got some stuff off bleep.com, but only because its deleted. The other reality must be that DJs are generally not very well paid so without a day job its just got to be more profitable as a career to use downloads and CDs? The sheer price difference especially on imports vs. europe is a real shame. I just can not justify paying £8-9 for an import every time, over a month that can be quite a few records.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out.
