Blast from The Past
'Blast From The Past' was for most of its life situated in The Enterprise Centre near Eastbourne Station. Its first owner was a 'wily old campaigner' by the name of 'Bob' (amongst others!) and it sold mainly second hand video's, Lp's, and latterly DVD's and CD's.
Later on, the business was taken over by a younger chap and he did away with the second hand element and the vinyl side (though I think he did carry on selling 12" for a time) and began to sell budget price CD's and DVD's as well as current chart albums, CD Singles and Box Sets etc. I have a feeling he changed the shop name to 'Blast Music' as well but this could be a false memory.
The last I remember of the shop, it had moved to bigger premises within Eastbourne station itself (near the Shoe repair shop).

Shopped and browsed here a lot in the mid-1990s for second hand CD albums and singles.
The shop was very small but well stocked (sometimes with recent releases). I think they sold a fair bit of VHS too and recall vinyl being on the rear wall from floor to ceiling.
The shop was indeed later renamed to Blast Music (see the separate entry).
