Record and Tape Exchange

Name: Leon Parker
Comment: About 1974-75 I became a fan of Climax Blues Band, the small half shop in Notting Hill Gate added the LP Richman to my collection at a price of 40p. In 1976 on my frequent shop visits the F section was crammed with Peter Frampton Comes Alive LPs.

Comment: Used to go to the Shepherds Bush shop and the Notting Hill shop. Nearly flattened Roger Taylor from Queen as I only had one hour on the meter and was rushing around a corner to get to the shop. Nearly knocked him over. Always popped into their musical instruments shop further up as well.

I found this piece in the 'Aberdeen Evening Express' dated 7th September 1996:
Q. IS there a record available by Red Sovine called Teddy Bear? Mrs Auld, Aberdeen.
A. This album was released in 1980 but is no longer available. You may wish to contact the Record & Tape Exchange, 38 Nottinghill Gate, London, W.11. Tel: 0171 243 8573. It tries to find copies of records, tapes and such which have been deleted.

The bottom step down to the basement of the Notting Hill Branch was labeled 'Bored Girlfriend Seat.'
