May I offer up a solution to Local record shops not stocking John Foxx...
Hear, hear! May I wholeheartedly congratulate you on this approach Craig. I do the same here in Southampton - we WILL keep Foxx in the shops!!!
How else can you buy music in exchange for good old fashioned cash??
Reminds me of a similar story I have regarding a certain Marc almond, whose output in the middle years of his career was similarly subject to a low profile, cult artist kind of status. I used to order singles etc from the HMV in Witney, Oxfordshire which was about the size of a sheep's eye.
I would then always go in, pick up the discs off the shelf, and congratulate the well-pierced, white skinned goth girl behind the counter on the extent of their stock of material by this challenging and difficult artist.
No problem, she would smile. "It's great to know there's someone else out that likes his stuff! Are you going to any of the gigs in September..."
Thus, with a nudge and a wink, a relationship was born. Typifying Almondesque characters, it burnt itself out too, too quickly...
