Gutted to here Covert are closed. My favourite on line record store and first port of call to browse and listen to what is new. Other places just don’t do it like Covert.

Well i am personally gutted to hear about this i dont live anywhere near brighton but i have ordered vinyl on-line from covert ever since i discovered the site. It was my favourite as it not only gave u decent length samples and a good write up about every tune, it also gave u samples and info on all not yet released tracks
and allowed u to pre order them so u was always 1 step ahead.

Im genuinely devastated about this!

COVERT RIP CHEERS!

A simple question sums up my thoughts

Who would you like to spend the night with Britt Ekland or Jordan??????

I would like to wish all of the guys at Covert the very best for the future…It’s another brick in the wall! Mick (Urban Records)

It really is a shame. We did a survey recently and found that Covert was concidered as one of the best vinyl shops in Brighton. I guess DJs just cant be fucked to carry round vinyl anymore. You can see the benefits but its a shame for such institutions to go under.

I was shcoked to hear this as i thought covert did well, but i suppose with all thier genres, etc it was difficult to stay afloat. I personally havnt gone down the playing cds/mp3s out. But with things like this I cant see how I have little other choice. I will still support vinyl as long as is humanly possible. Infinate records is also closing/closed, which was also really shocking with all the DnB heads around today. I think it basically the end of an era for a while, dance music isnt declining, just not growing. Where are areas like indie/band music types are growing. Its the usal 10 year cycle. By the time it comes around again I will probably be a midlife DJ ready to sell up :)

Enough of this. Roll on Brighton summer i say!

Unfortunately a sad indictment of our time.
