SB&Q On the Web

As well as being mentioned by a number of businesses that are involved in selling second hand albums and by some people who have listed their entire record collection on their website, there are a couple of web sites that mention the band in some detail. In addition, Gavin Sutherland appears to be contactable by e-mail through the firm that he is involved in. However, I am a believer in giving people their privacy and I would ask that you do the same.

Gavin's site is at www.gavinsutherland.net.

Any information on other website sightings would, however, be appreciated.

There are many of the band's records available on vinyl, as well as on CD and with a bit of perseverance, it is possible to obtain the entire collection, as listed in the discography section, by trying the options suggested below.

If you are looking to obtain any albums by SB&Q, you might try your local record store for the various albums that exist on CD. Alternatively, www.magpiedirect.com and http://www.blahdvd.com have good websites and are reliable retailers with an interest in older material. Other retailers that might help are www.amazon.co.uk, www.hmv.co.uk, www.101cd.com and www.towerrecords.co.uk while if you are looking for a non-UK site, try www.cdwow.com, www.play.com or even www.amazon.com as the biggest retailers. Stuart Lord has access to specialist items and can send you a list if you e-mail him at stuart.lord@wanadoo.fr.

Jeannie Jones has written to me to say that if you want Gavin's latest CD, you should send a cheque or postal order for £12.00 (incl. p&p) payable to PICTURE HOUSE to her at 25 Shrewsbury Drive, Chesterton, Newcastle, Staffordshire. ST5 7QN. That's how I got my copy - and it was worth every penny!

For second hand albums (vinyl and CD), many people have managed to get lucky by bidding on www.ebay.com while the biggest collective of second hand dealers is www.gemm.com but I would also try:

You have to be patient when trying the second hand sites and hope that you will get lucky over a period of a few months. It could be worse - think how long it would take if all you could do was go to record fairs for the next twenty years! I have managed to complete my collection of albums through second hand sites - although I have made only limited forays into acquiring singles. Occasionally, you may come across a version that is different from the ones listed in the discography on these pages. This is inevitable when, over the years, a record distributor buys the rights in one country or another to issue a particular set of tracks. Good luck in your searches!
