A Customised Piece requested by the Local Vinyl Legend himself - Barry Everard of Record Collector Sheffield!
I was truly humbled to have been asked by Local CD & Vinyl Legend, Barry Everard of Record Collector Sheffield, to create one of my custom Record Collector pieces for him. We discussed which 14 album covers to go in the windows, which were all Sheffield bands; some very well known, and some lesser know little gems. The artwork was covered by the Sheffield Star and an article about the piece can be read here!

If you’ve never been to Record Collector Sheffield, you must know it is an absolute treasure of a music shop, and a true jewel in Sheffield’s music heritage crown. Over the years, practically every Sheffield band you can think of have passed through the doors and chatted with Barry {Bit of trivia here: the album cover for Little Man Tates’ ‘About What You Know’ was shot inside Record Collector, Sheffield}. Always selfless, and incredibly supportive of Sheffield bands, big and small, Barry has promoted and sold tonnes of debut albums for now world famous bands, back when they were but a blip on the radar. I’ve got many fond memories of searching through the thousands of albums Barry has at Record Collector, and discovered some incredible singers and bands which shaped my music collection over the years, and all because of this superb shop.
