Great memories seeing some of these 7" covers. Every time I see one I remember staring at the wall in the underground market, trying to chose which one I'll be bringing home today.

Memory lane eh, lol. Staring at the wall of discount records was as hard a choice as the pic n' mix aisle at woolies.
Do you remember they also sold tickets for Mayflower and Russell club gigs there mate? Went to both venues a few times, Crass being most memorable gig.

Yes mate. Went to the Mayflower twice. Talked to Ari Up outside once.
I waited for the record stall to open one morning to get one of the first copies of this:
The last of the punk bands to get a recording contract. I saw them twice before they put a record out and I hadn't turned 15 yet.
Still have all the 7" vinyl I bought before I moved away.

I remember the bin full of records at Woollies as well. Downstairs if I remember correctly and always had a few punk singles in there.
I have a copy of I am the fly that I got from there.
My favorite shop though was Robinsons records in Stevensons square. My room was covered in posters that they gave us.
Had a life size cardboard cut out of Johnny Thunders. : )

@dennishasdoneit I seem to recall 'Marianne faithfull's' stall as Collectors Records. Could be wrong though ?

Woolies was always good for stuff, plenty of 7" bargains to be had for between 30-50p each.
Robbie's Records was a place I browsed and bought in as was Piccadilly Records. There was a very small corner shop selling posters and badges at the bottom of Market/corner of Cross st. Can't remember the name of it, you know where I mean?

Mike and Andy's Inside The Smiths?
dipped in and out of this thread so poss answered before but that was my saturday morning ritual as a youth into the underground market to discount records to get my weekly fix(can picture all the buzcocks singles in a line on the wall as they were such distinctive colours) then onto collectors records to look at the ones i couldn't afford(and to stare at the good looking owner :-)

That's interesting. Can't argue with too many of what's on there but the order isn't quite mine. White Riot and Guns of Brixton would be in my top ten.
