( April 22, 2015) I remember Manzi's. I also remember the great sound booth. I bought one of my first ever singles there...Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan. It had a sort of hippy vibe. Comment: Peter Barron
( Jan 17, 2016) Uncle Eugene,, we used to come as my mum would always, be buying records and me and my brother would hang around the shop, and the sound booths. You and your shop were great. I remember it changing a bit? I think if I remember right, a downstairs area opened up, selling other items. My parents were into a lot of music, but my mum was a Bob Dylan fiend, I was always happy when something else arrived on the turntable. Bob D doesn't have much appeal to kids ears, those sound booths were great and so where you, real sound. Best wishes Anna
Name Steve Hunter Comment: I used to work in Lucas Sports, just down the road from Manzi's. Spent most of my wages in there! Lol. ( Sept 27, 2016)
Name nick saloman Comment: Me and my mates bought loads of stuff here. Mad River, Beefheart's Safe As Milk, Electric Ladyland etc etc. Great shop. If I recall there was a basement selling posters. Not too long ago, one of my mates met Eugene Manzi at a party or something, and reminded him how we all used to frequent his shop. He said he remembered us because one of our gang was an albino & we were always nicking things! Totally untrue. I loved that shop and I genuinely never nicked anything. I was deeply hurt by the suggestion I was a tea leaf. (Nov 22, 2016)
