Comment
Bought my first ever 45 from here as a 7 year old - the Union Gap's 'Young Girl'- which must have been mid-68. I remember a couple of young ladies (but way older than me!) manning the turntables.
I think it had a change of ownership a couple of years later when it became a Soul and Reggae specialist. Then bought Eric Donaldson's 'Cherry Oh Baby' in summer `71 (45 new pence) and was then a fairly frequent visitor until it moved almost entirely away from Reggae and overwhelmingly into the Soul and Disco side around `78.
