Albert Records

  (March 19, 2015)I found this sticker just inside the opening of the 1966 dated ‘John Handy at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival’ LP cover. I bought it, second-hand, at the Broad Green Record Centre, Croydon in the 1970’s.  Dave Harwood


I lived in Aberdeen Road Highbury from 1969 to 1978 and I occasionall frequented Albert's Record Shop in the Holloway Road. If I remember rightly Jimmy Jewel tenor saxophonist anda friend worked there. I frequented all the jazz record shops in London from 69 onwards- particularly Dobells, Asmans, Rays, and occasionally Dave Careys and Chris Wellards and Later Mole. I still have an LP of Lee Wiley on American RCA "A Touch Of The Blues" which I bought in Alberts. A nice shop with good stock.  Comment: Robin Aitken
