Cloud 7
I worked in The Portobello Rd Branch on Saturdays for a while. I remember that Saturdays seem to be just one big party!.We had an arrangement with a the pub opposite and we drank beer all day and listened to great music. Hamid Mantu-Transglobal Underground

I was Manager of Cloud Seven records Hounslow for most of the 1970s, don't know if anyone remembers,happy days.When I first went there to manage the shop it was still owned and called Musicland,the best retailer I ever worked for,they just let you get on with it,so much freedom, I had a couple of vans delivering the latest American imports ,all sealed. I remember how thrilling it was when they showed me the first couple of Neil Young albums ,several weeks before British release,oh what bliss,ha!! Anyway that's enough from me,but if you are an old customer,or friend please contact me at any time, thanks Robin (now known as Rob) PS You will also find me on Facebook, just look for my name Robin Robertson, I am the one with the white hat and glasses .Music is my first love and it will be my last.

Hi Robin, I worked with you for awhile in Hounslow and Putney and also shops in Wimbledon, Ealing, St Albans, and Portobello road. A great time in my life, will never forget the party atmosphere especially Saturday afternoon in Portobello shop full of customers and Springsteen's born to run or Ted Nugent's strangle hold the volume cranked up high.

I used to go to Cloud 7 in Ealing and also the branch in Wimbledon, where they sold my fanzine "The Sound Of The Westway". It was there that I first saw myself on the cover of the New Wave album sleeve.
