J&J Records had a bricks and mortar shop in Lower Kings Road, Berkhamsted, Herts as well as the market stall in Watford market. It was a tiny space but managed to cram in a great selection of new and used records. In the early 1980s most of my pocket money went in their till. Comment: T. L.

John (the proprietor) was a lovely bloke, did a lot of second hand stuff and some new. Spent many a Saturday afternoon in there (and many a pound too). Went a bit downhill in the 90's, lack of stock availability I guess.

I worked here from it's opening in 1980 until Feb '82 - Ian was the Store Manager and I was the Assistant Manager and Annie also worked there... she worked for Virgin in Oxford Street and appeared in the video for Ziggy Stardust by Bauhaus. Bananarama came in a had a few games on the pinball machine. The LP bags were yellow and there was also a branch in Berkhamstead run by Bob (huge Springsteen fan), Stuart Clarke - Semi famous photographer (Homes Of Football) was the Xmas temp in 1981, there was also a Market Stall in Watford market. I began my record shop career in Royston with Tracks (aged 14 ) in 1976 run by Dennis and Geoff - they also had a branch in Hertford where they lived and think another shop in Harpenden -
