Chappels

The other Mecca for me was the shop on Charing Cross Rd.-was that Chappels?---I worked just round the corner and one real highlight I remember was being downstairs waiting my turn to play a selected record in the tiny enclosed booth there and listening to Ian Christie-Dicky Hawdon--and Keith Chritie
( The Christie Brothers Stompers) talking about the previous nights concert. Thats where I bought most of my Tempo/Melodisc records---that was up to 1952. My only claim was to be present at the concert when the Mississippi Jazz band played --I wanna a girl just like etc which was recorded and I can still hear the applause--and myself --perhaps!! Good luck Dennis.
