Red Rat

I believe Red Rat originally started in larger premises in Duke Street as “Red Rat Record Rentals” – as the name suggests you could rent a record for a day or so (and listen to it, of course NEVER record it, ‘cos that was illegal, wasn’t it?). It became evident fairly early on that other customers were not so careful with the vinyl as I was, as a lot of them were fairly badly scratched.
