I just got this email and is one of many who like the site.  I thought I would share it here, as it sums up what I had in mind for this site to do.


What a brilliant website – I’m having a big clear out at home, so if I find anything useful I’ll definitely send it on….I used to keep record bags from loads of shops, but suspect many were lost when I moved from Hackney….something like this is long overdue, I think the fella behind it deserves immense credit….after all, he’s preserving part of our popular culture….ahh now lets see, top 5 record shops (bear in mind it’s been about 16 years since I last bought vinyl):-

1) P + J Records, Narrow Way, Mare St., Hackney
2) Bluebird Records, Berwick Street, Soho 
(weren’t they in Paddington as well…?...I also seem to remember a shop in Proctor Street, Holborn as well)
3) Groove Records, Greek Street, Soho
4) Time is Right Records, Chapel Market, Islington
5) Reckless Records, Berwick Street

Time is right was run the two Dave's, one being Dave Brownless ?. That Dave used to run the mail order Cut-it out records. They used to store the records near the lea bridge road London. They had another shop Time is right in Bristol. City Sounds was the shop in proctor st with Dave and Nigel Wilton. Bluebirds had two shops in Paddington green.
