Past & Present Records
Great record shop for new releases run by John and Mick with a second shop just round the corner that stocked second hand singles and albums. Got all my Phil Spector International singles and lp's from here in the 1970's. Comment: Barry Green.
(April 25,2015) I loved Past & Present Records. I lived just across the road in a flat above a shop on the St Albans Road. I bought a whole stack of great records there in the mid to late 1970s when I was a teenager and Mick and John were always very good to me. Comment: Ian Marshall.( June 9, 2015)
I loved Past & Present. I bought all my vinyl there in the early 90s. Always feel nostalgic when I see the old price tickets on my LPs. Comment: Sara Taylor.k

Knew this shop very well- John began secondhand in a tiny tiny shop in Harwoods Road Watford near where i lived before moving to the shop around the corner from there St Albans Road base- I became very good friends and customer for a long time and would love to thank them for being so important to my discovery of great music. I have often wondered how they may be or if they still are involved in any way.Thank you Mick and John. Would love to know if they are still about. - Ian (2019)

I started buying in this shop late 70s and continued right up till it closed, got the opportunity to run the second hand shop round the corner on a couple of occasions for a day and it was a dream come true for me. Sad day when it closed.

Spent far too much in Past & Present - oh to have the opportunity of spending an afternoon in the 2nd hand shop now! P & P supplied me with a significant amount of my late 80's - mid 90's Americana CD collection - I specifically remembering hearing new releases from Counting Crows, Uncle Tupelo, Wilco & Son Volt within those walls - hardly the sounds of St Albans Road!
