And the carrier bags that said 'Stolen from Ivor'. Were they yellow ?
Going back to the late 1960`s and early 1970`s I used to frequent on home games a trip down to John Dalton Street in town and visit a place called Rare Records.WOW what a find for me and my mate who were/are massive soul fans.The amount of records that he held was wonderful and you took away a record and played it in one of the individual booths.The amount of records that I bought from that shop was incredible but also the number of American imports that he would order was superb.
It was only a few years later that I found out that the owner used to write regularly in the New Musical Express which was the top selling music newspaper of its era and one that I had delivered on a regular basis to my home.
I doubt its there nowadays but both me and my mate spent many a long morning prior to home games in that shop.
Anyone else either shop there or remember it ?
Did it have listening booths? My sister was a big soul fan and she used to drag me down there.Going back to the late 1960`s and early 1970`s I used to frequent on home games a trip down to John Dalton Street in town and visit a place called Rare Records.WOW what a find for me and my mate who were/are massive soul fans.The amount of records that he held was wonderful and you took away a record and played it in one of the individual booths.The amount of records that I bought from that shop was incredible but also the number of American imports that he would order was superb.
