Hades

Comment: In Bath Street, in the next block along from McCormicks, was a “progressive” record shop called Hades. The decor consisted of oranges and purples and the guy behind the counter looked like he could have played in a rock band.

For Glasgow, this seemed very bold and It couldn’t have been more different from the traditional McCormicks along the road. It had a ground level section and a basement and as you walked down the stairs, you were watched by an enormous poster of Rory Gallagher.
