Moxons

Picture
In the late 60s/early 70s I would pay monthly visits to a record shop of sorts in Blackhorse Road, Walthamstow named Moxons. They seemed to specialise in obscure or deleted blues, jazz and dance band (for want of a better term) 78s, 45s, EPs and LPs. My recollection of it was as a sort of "bric-a-brac" shop. Comment: Alan Balfour

( December 13, 2015) Moxons used to be on Forest Road, nearer to Hoe St than Blackhouse Rd.
Early 60's I'd spend ages lookong through his second-hand stuff for Buddy Holly. Other places were Fosters on the High St a couple of doors from Willow Walk, and a market stall between Manze's and Rossi's (or was it Toni's) ice-cream shop in the High St.Then there was Petticoat Lane, but that's another story! Comment: Tony Barrett.

( March 11, 2016) Great shop was Moxons. I visited when in Forest road in the 1960s. Great jazz and blues records. You used to take your old LPs in and he would pay you 12 shillings [60p), after telling you every reason why on earth he couldnt sell it, then you could buy a `new` secondhand one for a pound. Great arrangement so you got to own loads of different music. He was a great bloke. He also did a similiar arrangement with musical instruments.  Comment: Richard [Sam] Simmonds.

Name Brian Phipps Comment: I used to to spend hours searching for obscure jazz LPs for Charlie Watts in the early to mid sixties. He was a great collector and my then boss, John George, was a close mate of his and Ian Stewart (the unseen Stone). Happy days! (May 19, 2017)
