Pop Inn

NME 1985

Name Steve Thrower Comment: Pretty sure this used to be on the Bullring, where it curves round onto Westmorland Street/The Springs. It was a newsagents with a few record carousels, selling mainly singles. They were 'ex-jukebox singles' (with the middles knocked out and replaced by those whirly plastic adaptors) and most of them came in the same generic blue and orange record sleeves. I remember buying "Love is the Drug" and "Both Ends Burning" by Roxy Music there, and some of the more obscure Sparks singles like "Get in the Swing" and "Looks Looks Looks". (Dec 12, 2016).
