Dick Gaughan No Gods



I was listening to the news the other day
I heard a fat politician who had the nerve to say
He was proud to be Scottish, by the way
With the glories of our past to remember
"Here's tae us, wha's like us", listen to the cry
No surrender to the truth and here's the reason why
The power and the glory's just another bloody lie
They use to keep us all in line

So-So, has some nice vinyl at times.

Kirkcaldy High Street Oxfam

Always worth a look but not much lately.

Kirkcaldy High Street Cancer

Always a good selection of vinyl around online prices. There is a new shop next door with a large number of records but mostly mono classical.

Kirkcaldy High street Debra


View Larger Map

Always a good few records in this shop. Worth a visit

Top End Kirkcaldy High Street Save The children


View Larger Map

Usually has a few good quality records in.

Top End Kirkcaldy High Street Heart


View Larger Map

British Heart foundation, few records and no regular pricing policy.

Top End Kirkcaldy High Street Bethany / Barnados


View Larger Map
Bethany usually has something to suit all tastes and usually 2 albums for 50p. Barnado's is a bit of a hit and a miss, bought a couple of good records here but not much choice.

The Thrift Shop Methil


View Larger Map

The cheapest shop in Fife I believe, genuine little shop but not open too often, a shame, best buy here, The Weavers, Old Smokey.

The Thrift Shop


View Larger Map

The rear of this redundant church is used as a thrift shop by different local charities and groups as a fund raising venue, they are allowed to use it for one week at a time. Sometimes you can find some good vinyl.

Regular haunts. Leven


View Larger Map

Four shops in the Precinct. The photo just catches Shelter and the Red Cross.
Cancer Research.
High priced for years with the same records there month after month but over the last few months prices are OK and there is some fresh quality stuff coming in.
Shelter Scotland.
Feast or Famine, sometimes good stuff sometimes nothing for months, friendly people.
British Red Cross.
Usually some records in but not often my type.
Heart and Stroke.
Again a Feast or a Famine and the prices go up and down but some good records.

Regular haunts. Leven

Barnado's do not sell vinyl so just pop in now and again. Small shop not too much choice, but ok
