Carnival Records

Parkstone kiddie.Carnival was my number one shop for buying punk in '77/'78.Was run by a lovely lady,blonde,probably in her late thirties-heard she passed.She used to stock a lot of mainstream rock,but had these two boxes of punk & new wave singles on the counter.I bought 'Shot by both Sides' there,'Holidays in the Sun',loads of others.And if she didn't stock it,she'd order it.Great place to spend a boring Saturday afternoon.

I remember Carnival records... used to go in there every pay day . To talk to lad in red trousers, that I thought looked like David Silvern
