R.E.Cords

Owned by Dave Milton this shop is surely now part of record selling folklore. Certainly an early one 1973/74??

After a Night at Cinatras Disco I went to buy Kool and the Gang Greatest Hits, I was even happier when R E Cords opened in Burton, Ah the Past was good if you had money. Comment: Simon Collyer.

(May 21, 2014) Mark Baker said:I I was not quite brave or cool enough to actually go n but I was in awe of people who carried copies of pin ups or diamond dogs in The clear LP bags
