(October 30. 2015) Great shop! Friends and I would make a regular pilgrimage from Reading. I remember buying The Allman Brothers - Idlewild South album (amongst many others) there. Also went to the Eagles gig at the Poly in '73. Comment: Steve Mags.

Many happy times spent browsing (pls note, Amazon !) the latest LPs in mid 70's. Also used to be a cool clothes shop in the same street - flares etc !
Thanx for all the memories (wish I'd kept my Sunshine bags).

Bought The Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen and The Stranglers' Peaches in the 'Blackmail' sleeve, which turned out to be a wise investment. 1977. Can't believe there aren't any photos of the shop!

Hi, I am Graham's daughter, Caroline. It was also my mother's shop - Sue Rowe. Thanks - it means a lot to see the shop online. I have vivid memories of the mushroom shaped stools!
