My daughter is a part time radio DJ in Whuppertal. in the 80's I let her take all my old LP's back to Germany as CD's were going to be "perfect sound forever" ...ha.
Anyway, she plays them on her program and is astounded at how much of the US/UK music was never heard over there.
My son is a full time internet record seller (with a psych masters degree from the Univ. of London) and ships a large number of US records to South America and around the world.
The groups that you call crap are back in demand. Esp the BG's.
I'm in Portland,Oregon and we have more record stores per capita than any major city in the US. Here it's very "hip" to be "spinning vinyl". I can resell about any TT that comes my way.
Gotta keep busy in retirement
