(August 19, 2015) Seeing that picture actually made me well up a bit. I used to spend hours in that shop. It was big with high ceilings and those windows let in so much light. The walls were covered in the more desirable and always something interesting on the stereo. A really 'proper' record shop with one side dedicated to electronic, and the other everything else. Paul (I think was his name) was a top bloke, had a shop in Oxford and I one in Salisbury. Alas all have shut down now, and mores the pity. A great great loss. Comment: James Curry
