Since February 2001, Vinyl Vulture brought to the web-world an increasingly sprawling series of meanderings on the topic of vinyl records - and more than that, it drew inspiration from the oddities - the ones that had been hitherto consigned to the car-boot sale of life and no-one otherwise talked about very much.
Although others may well have rediscovered, played and compiled these items first, but we would like to think that Vinyl Vulture brought them to a wider audience, and in doing so became the premier virtual repository for all sorts of fluff about weird records. We spilt the beans on where to get the grooves and never played that stuffy DJ secrets game.
Change is inevitable. While we thank all of those who have contributed valuable efforts to the website over the years, Vinyl Vulture was always based on the collaboration between two people, Sie and Chris. Sadly that joint effort can no longer be sustained and the decision to draw a line and move on to pastures new has been made. The name of Vinyl Vulture will be laid to rest.
Chris will continue to look after the bulk of the original written material that formed Vinyl Vulture, which has been taken off the web for the moment, but given time may reappear in a different guise. If you have any particular questions about articles on odd records that you can swear blind you once read on some dodgy website, then you can contact him here: chris@vinylvulture.co.uk
Sie will continue to work on the forum, which can now be found at www.verygoodplus.co.uk. Follow the link to find it. You can sent him email here: sie@vinylvulture.co.uk
