Twist & Shout Records
Visited once around summer `79 - they were playing the Specials' 'Gangsters' which had just come out. It was all very Mod Revival and I think they also sold clothes. The records were extortionate - copies of the Who's Brunswick singles at a fiver each when they could easily be had elsewhere for a couple of quid. Never went back. Comment: Mark Griffiths.

I used to help out sometimes in this shop.
It was run by Steve Weeks.
It released a couple of singles on it's own label.
It did not sell clothes.
Prices were not unreasonable, but Steve knew his stuff so sold rare issues at their correct values. This was probably the case with The Who disc.
