Loading Bay Records
In 1982 he relocated to 598 Bristol Road, just a few shops away, renaming it Loading Bay Records and specialising in High Energy dance and soul music.
He started his own record label, which was also called Loading Bay Records, buying the rights to many European tracks (he always had an ear for an amazing song). With 85 releases on the label!

There was discussions about starting up a soul music label, but that never happened.
In the early days there was Duncan Finlayson, Christine Norton, and Dave Allen (who worked Saturdays). In later years Tony Millican joined the team. The shop stopped trading after his death in 1996, at the age of just 45.
Comment
I first met Duncan as his new neighbour in Harrow Road. Duncan and Christine became friends instead of just neighbours. I spent many a happy of time fixing his Jenson or repairing his motorbike or scooter. Absolutely a lovely bloke and genuinely missed.
