TEA London News & Views

Saturday at TEA London‘s WE HEART RECORDS was indeed fun and the weather was surprisingly BRILLIANT!

So the BBQ went on til sundown and everyone was pretty merry (hey it was £1 a beer ok )
But besides that, I really do love the DIY space..(lo-fi for hi-fi!!!)
The vintage stall was cute plastic brooch heaven (I had to get the big animal brooch), and the art, I love Jarrod Sanderson‘s video in the toilet (I know, crazy but it works) and had to really stop myself from buying one of Robin Spalding‘s skull though I have promised myself that I will get one .
As the record players, ooh as a record buying person, I think the 4 Pro-Jects are brilliant. I particularly like the entry level Pro-Ject Debut, not because i’m cheap nor because it is the cheapest (though for less that than £200, I think it is super) but I genuinely genuinely like its very simple design. Very clean and basic especially the white one that was there. It kinda reminds me of the white portable Vestax record player that was super hip errr… almost 10 years ago (if you don’t know about it then I’m sorry, you weren’t cool enough then), but of course the Pro-Ject is a thousand times better than that toy. But, if you are seriously consider buying a record player, I think you better talk to Tim – hey, what do I know, I am superficial after all…

Tea London love records. We really love records.

Although we are not a record store, we do sell the various bits and pieces that will let you play the best music format ever, the record, the LP, vinyl albums. We will be organising our own small event for Record Shop Day on 21 April 2012.

On 21 April from 11am to 7pm Tea London will host an open day, celebrating the best recorded medium ever: the record. Records have clarity, depth and quality that no digital music medium could ever match. For those of you who have never heard a record or maybe if you want to reacquainted with records might have forgotten, should definitely come along and pay us a quick visit on the day.

We will be playing records all day interspersed with some live music. We will be also be showcasing a selection of Pro-Ject Audio turntables and which we invite to audition so you can hear how they really are.

A small selection of local independent traders will also be there selling vintage items, art, curios and local produce, plus there will be good quality hot food off the barbecue, salads and drinks will be on sale for at a very reasonable price.

Please come along for a great day of experiencing the joy of recorded music, played the best way it can be.
