Tracks

Tracks record shop, Lincoln, circa 1981. Some Sanctuary personnel found their way to this shop near the market at the turn of the decade. Friendly, enthusiastic staff , but no atmosphere or charisma like Sanctuary. A great shop nonetheless. Comment; Steve Panter

I'm pretty sure Tracks had the same owner as Sanctuary - it was only a record store for a short period of time and became a video rental shop when VHS caught on and may well have been the first video rental shop in Lincoln - which it did well at for a period. When it was a record shop it didn't seem as well stocked as Sanctuary, but they used to deals on Fridays, I recall getting a Small Faces double album for a £1. I remember buying The Jam 'Sound Effects' and the Pretty Things 'Cross Talk' and The Kinks double single 'Better Things' on release so the shop must have been there in 1980. Comment: Russell Smith
