Ralph’s Records
Was trying to remember the name of the shop in Stockport where I bought a stack on Minit albums including Ernie K Doe last week - then this reminded me it was Ralph's. I got copies of We Sing The Blues and others from there circa 1976. Comment: Tony Burke.

I'm from Stockport and my 1st single that I bought was 'Come and get it' by Badfinger on the Apple label in 1970 from the branch on Underbank.
I was always in Manchester around Victoria station mainly to get the 'Football Special' trains following Man United everywhere.
I used to always pop in 'Ralph's Records' at 3 Corporation St and I remember buying my 1st 'US' Northern Soul import by Bob Relf 'Blowing my Mind to Pieces' on the yellow Trans-Atlantic label. I've still got it..
You could always get rare imports from that particular shop in Manchester but no so much the branch in Stockport.
