Spinning Disc

Picture
I was friendly with Terry from Spinning Disc - he was the real thing! Great place you could hardly squeeze into and then  you had to fight your way past the teddy boys looking for R'n' R . Comment:  Andrew Titcombe  

Terry was a lovely bloke and used to buy a lot of stuff from me - always very fair with his prices. RIP mate - you're well remembered.  Comment: Mark Griffiths

(Oct 26, 2013) Colin said:Agree ,all the way. He had so much crammed in the window ,and I wondered why he constantly closed. A closer look in the window and I read the note that he had left us , sorry to say two months previously. Should have taken more notice 


(May 27, 2013) CC Rider said:A fantastic shop. Being in that shop was like being in a 50s/60s time warp. Terry was always happy and enthusiastic about the music he sold. Happy days!

( October 14, 2015) Indeed Terry had a great selection of 45s that I could not get at the London Rockin clubs. Doowop and RnB and the like Remember buying Elvis of him to. So when passing through Chiswick on work I always hoped he would be open.
It was a squeeze at times for sure but nice memories. Was sad to hear when Terry passed on.  Comment: Guy Rawlings.

( November 26, 2015) Still miss going into the spinning disc ,still love rockabilly music and all the fifties artists ,can now get it all on u-tube ,how would terry have handled the new technolodgy ? The shop is now a dry cleaners ,so is "at the hop " on Fulham road .it always felt great walking out of the spinning disc with a bag full of records I'd never heard before . Sure miss terry and "THE SPINNING DISC".  Comment:Colin Dunning.


( Jan 16, 2016) Loved Terry I worked in spinning disc with him for about 5 years in the late 80's on Saturdays to early 90'S Many good memories great people used to come in the shop and it was all due to Tell the legend. Comment: Darry Johnson

Name chris brown Comment:  I will always remember terry with great fondness spending many happy days in the shop. And Terry and myself became good friends. As has been said in previous comments the shop was a alladins cave stacked with vinyl.where I was living at the time in isleworth terry infact used to live just round the corner from me. And on numerous occasions I used to pop round to see him. And I remember he had this lovely jukebox in his front room full of rock n roll and rockabilly records on it.Terry was always happy and enthusiastic about his music.R.I.P. Tel. P.s. I bet your still rockin in heaven. cb x
