Anyone now what's up with tune inn?

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.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
WELL DONE PETE! GOOD LUCK WITH THE FUTURE CHIEF! BWENT!
OMG, Shocked! :roll: They have only just got the new site up & running and they had a shed load of restock's!
I used to deal with chris over the phone, he was very helpfull and used to pick me out some absolut blinders! :rambo:
Anyway good luck to them all!
Does this mean the labels have stopprd aswell? Ying yang was getting rather good!
What about all the stock they had in the shop?
Selling them off cheap at all? :eh: :lol:
No way...Shocking news!
Cheap vinyl? :?:
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.
:shock:
can't believe it,
Gutted... Tuneinn was w great online shop.... Welldone to all that had input in such a great shop and im sure as techno buyers we will miss it very much.
Hopefully Yin Yang will push on to be even bigger and have great success.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
sh*T, that was my favourite shop, gutted :cry:
Oh that's bad news. I bought a lot of stuff from them. :cry:
Wow!
What can you say to that?
Tune Inn was quite popular all over the world really?
:clap:
Thanks for all the comments. I'll pass them on to Pete.
Im sure it'll cheer him up.
:cry: :cry: :cry:
all the best
WOW!
My sandess is deep!
Good luck to Phil and Pete

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.Quote:

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.
:cry:
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. :cool:Quote:

Looks like it all around!
he says mp3 age killed tune inn? how come he didnt start an mp3 online shop? is there really any money in that either?? i can't but think i'd still prefer an actual vinyl/product over an mp3 any day.
has anyone got numbers of sales for either format and willing to share?
anyways, best of luck to pete and dean in their new missions (& the others i didnt know)..
i think they did start selling downloads, but i think they're on about illegal downloads anywayQuote:

I can't believe this, what with the recent overhaul I thought things were going okay for them. Great customer service and what I really liked was the fact they put up decent clips of tunes, rather than 40 second nonsense.
Sorry to see it go.
gutted bout this been shoping there for years really harsh :neutral: best of luck guys
thanks guys
gutted myself
will carry on producing and djing as my pedro delgardo guise full time i guess..
sorry to all of my customers.. i loved you all, you was all 'the best'
im going to miss my baby .. guess the scene's moving and evolving...
as to what someone else put... we did start doing dd but we was too late and how can you compete with a wesite design company building a dd website (beatport.com)
anyway ..
thanks to all of you
Pete Gawtry
by the way .. im helping sell of all the equipment and records for the liquidators..
SO ....
if you want some CHEAP VINYL .. come and be @ Tune Inn on wednesday (28th) for half price clearence.... on ya techno and all other 'brands'
P
try www.web-records.com ! they're based in germany as well and have great conditions. records are about 5 or 6 british pounds i think. in germany between 6,80 and 7,50 euros. all in 1st quality! package as well. you can also pay via paypal.Quote:

btw it's a pretty trendy mailorder with an ugly website design but they have everything to good prices! english version clickable.
Only problem with web-records (at least when ive tried to use it) is that the advertise stock that they havent got which in my experience is allot.

i gave them mail if can pay via paypal. they agreed and i got the details. that was all...
anyway bank transfer should be quick and transparent as well aye? :eh:
This is such a sad deal. Tune Inn was and will always be my favorite online record shop. I have known Dean, Phil an Pete for quite some time now. They have always put records aside for me whenever I sent them mail and always held them for an extensive amount of time so that I wouldn't be wasting my money on postage every week.
I think this goes to show how the market really is nowadays. I am finding it really hard myself running Hardsignal Records as it is really hard to find artists to do tracks. Artists are still demanding big money for their work. Nowadays your lucky if you sell 500 records. I don't know I guess I just wish we could all ge along with one another and help each other out. I really don't think that anyone except for the super big heavy hitters is generating alot of money with their names so why is it that everyone demands huge bucks? Am I acting selfish or ignorant? I'm not saying that we shouldn't be rewarded for our hard work but doesn't record promotion help generate bookings which pay better? Or would the artist prefer to drive the label in the ground because of asking for money and not have anywhere else to put out records......
By the way, I would like to thank all of the artists that have helped out with Hardsignal and pray to god that we don't eventually go bust.
Good luck to Pete, Dean and Phil, you guys have always rocked!
RIP Tune Inn
Pauze :twisted:
well i have to say something here. i dont know these guys personally but i am GLAD they closed.... why? because those fools SELL MY PROMOS. selling promos online is gross. those were sent for PROMOTIONAL USE and u F*CKERS have no right to sell em.
Dont be a daft (insert stronger word here) so you are telling me that all record shops dont sell promos on except tune inn? or are you just grandstanding because it makes you look good? (which it doesnt.)Quote:

Or did i get it wrong, you meant record shops in general?
Or is it that in an age where people are having to penny pinch because deadlines are tight that you feel tight enough to moan about 4 or 5 promo records? As for bloody promo's themselves yes they demand a higher price as DJs want em earlier...
words fail me. I dont like what you said. I dont think it serves a purpose other than to make yourself look like what.. i dont really know.
and as for being glad... im not, not because i know them, but because another part of YOUR scene is gone.
go and knit or something.
every record shop sells promosQuote:

just because you little namecalling internet know-it-alls think this is ok, does not make this acceptable. think bout it. does juno sell promos online? how about hardwax? sattellite? this practice of selling promos to the public online, months and months before the release is just crap. varella, myself and others have been planning action against these guys for months. CV even got coxy's lawyers to handle publishing disputes EXACTLY like this.
"pathetic"? pathetic is shady business practices being defended by the lot of you because "everybody does it. maybe some of you know these guys personally but should that effect the logic behind clean biz????
mark eg - lets get your take on this
mark eg- lets also get an edit button dammit
well if your sending 20-30 promos out and they are ending in in shops perhaps your are sending them to the wrong people :eh:
surely :eh:
