Carolines
It was run by a sort of hippy lady and her ‘boyfriend/partner’ sold lots of alternative music on vinyl, a really good shop for Lps, particularly psychadelia. Alongside rolling papers and bongs. It was one of the few places that you could find anything a bit different. Reknowned in Eastbourne I believe it shut down when the partner was busted heavily and it never reopened though it sat empty for years and years looking like it might open back up at any point...

A high turn over of stock, there was always something new and exciting to discover there. The shop sold second hand stuff and had a huge stock but it was more for the 60's psych, folk, rock, punk, alternative and new wave merchants than people like me who were into soul, disco and funk. The good side of this being that any such stock was usually cheap to clear there as Caroline found it harder to sell.
