Swales Music Centre
Comment
I well remember saturday afternoons spent in Swales, looking through their eclectic selection of music that couldn't be found elsewhere. Having them play Spooky Tooth's Ceremony for me, before walking out with the album clutched to my chest, discovering Saturnalia, Faust, and so much more. In a world of 'if it isn't in the top 20 we don't stock it', Swales was a beacon of 'try this - you might like it'. Sadly missed, from 12,000 miles and 50 years away.
