Circle in the Square

Circle in the Square

I used to go to the Circle in the Square almost every Saturday between 1970 and 1972. I was a budding DJ and wanted to build up my collection of vinyls. Well, this is what I told the Saturday girl that work there. In reality, I fancied her like mad but never had the courage to ask her out. In the end I never did ask her out but ended up with a great collection of vinyls.

Circle in the square record shop was a regular haunt and introduced me to so much good music. Happy days. How many on here used to shop there ?.

    My younger brother worked in Circle in the Square, in the late 80s for a few years (then went on to Rhythm - in Camden). We used to use that shop beforehand.
    As an aside, to work at Rhythm you had to answer a 100 question sheet and wow some were very obscure

    I used to pop in there every time I passed by. As a Madness fan I was given a lot of the posters that accompanied the release of their records once they were no longer wanted. Great shop with some great memories.

    Was such a great place to visit and I discovered so many interesting artists that really shaped my musical tastes. Loads of white label pressings also which I still have in my collectio
    • Steve Drennan I sadly sold my collection in 1994 but started collecting again seriously around 10 years ago.

      Jon Jordan very true!

      Steve Drennan it's a costly venture mate

    • Steve Drennan
      Jon Jordan unfortunately I did lose a large part of my records but was lucky that I still had a box in storage for decades and have been trying to replace the ones I know to have lost
