I'll always remember getting Cheap Tricks' 'Standing on the Edge' on import about 2 days after the US release and being gobsmacked by how quick Listen had it. A gem of a shop.

I worked in Music market in Smelly Alley - although a rival to Listen we were both independents and I spent a lot of my time with Tubbs. Both of us were Gallup shops and we exploited the fact with the label reps as much as possible. I remember the EMI rep coming in and showing us a thing called a CD - we laughed.
