Inferno

Easily the best punk record shop of its era in Brum. Whatever new releases were played by John Peel in the week could be found at Inferno by Saturday morning. Only big enough for one man and his dog, but still managed to pack them in when the Rezillos came in to sign their album. Showed its true loyalty when John Gidman, the ex-Villa right-back walked in one day (permed hair and flairs) asking if they had the latest Billy Joel album. Not a word from the assistant – just a slow shake of the head said it all… .Tom
