Not sure if either of you remember it but there used to be a little department store Called 'Hitchins/Hitchens' somewhere around Debenhams and Woolies, could it be that ?

Rather than dump this in the 'what are you listening to now' thread I thought I'd dump it in here.
40 years ago I bought this 7" EP from the underground market paying just 75p for it! Seems like yesterday and it still sounds great, especially the title track.
One - Two - Three - Go
I've got an ego
It won't let me go
What am I gonna do?
A - B - C - D
Paranoia's killing me
I'm dying on my aching feet
What a way to go
Roll up - Roll up
People always stroll up
Say "Why don't you grow up?"
No thank you!
Big cats, small cats
Some cats are fat cats
Those cats are bad cats
What we gonna do?
There's an awful lot of people in the world today
There's an awful lot of trouble in the streets these days
And it doesn't seem to matter what you do or say
If a change is gonna come you've got to help it on it's way
A change is gonna come before too long I know
Peace has gotta come, well, I could be wrong I know
But I just don't know what I can do
You don't trust me and I don't trust you
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
would of done exactly the same myself, love zounds, pretty much had all their vinyl output
every saturday would spend many a time in underground records, happy days

Could be but I don't remember Hitchens in town. They had a store on Stamford st Ashton I remember, but don't recall them selling vinyl or even tapes. Woolies was good for ex chart bargain bucket stuff, especially punk n' new wave as most of it never had much impact on mainstream chart positions and was sold off really cheap.Not sure if either of you remember it but there used to be a little department store Called 'Hitchins/Hitchens' somewhere around Debenhams and Woolies, could it be that ?

Happy days indeed pal. Was quite expensive for me buying vinyl, gig tickets going city home/aways, plus time and money going fishing etc. Was always skint but happy.would of done exactly the same myself, love zounds, pretty much had all their vinyl output

Managed to see Zounds at least once, possibly twice. Good band back in the day.

I thought it was closer than that but then again I was probably too excited getting some Wranglers from there.

Just spoke to my mate over there about the Debenhams bargain bin. Turns out it was called Pauldens back then. No wonder I was confused.
