Was out last night, and got talking to an old friend about this, do we think that, the internet has been good for the soul scene as a whole? at one time if you were a record buyer, the only way you could obtain those elusive wants, was if you travelled to the events, wich brought everyone together, the only way you learnt anything was learning off your peers, and trolling through box after sales box in record bars,or off your weekly paper lists, to me that was a big part of the scene and met many lifelong friends through the sitting and listening to those more knowledgable than myself the events you went to were by word of mouth, when did flyers start being distributed? is things like e-bays, websites etc turning the record collecting scene into an armchair hobby? would just like to hear your views on this
