Heroes & Villains
Fond memories of Mikey C and Bert the Slave. Comment: Martin Smyth
Keith M. 'Classic shop in Shaftesbury sq run by quiet guy if I recall who later opened across the road. 1985 was a long walk out of town at weekend to it. Dingy black painted outer. 7"s in sections at desk and lost round the edge of rest of shop. Bought lot of punk rockabilly and indie there. A burger from spuds beside it and then back into town. Shop across road when it moved was not as good in late 80s early 90s. The owner I heard sold up and went to Thailand etc travelling ??? Also remember there was his assistant who was kinda shambolic hippy bike punk type guy smoking fags. Owner was Michael if I recall.' (April 22, 2016).
