Top record shop - sold both new and used records. Accyweb member and Clayton End habituee Uncle Mick was a permanent fixture there in the 70's.

The Disc and Tape was the best record shop in the late seventies.

At that time most albums were about four quid. Which if you take into account inflation, and the cost of buying music today, was relatively expensive, in relation to today's prices.

Was worth every penny though.

The first LP I bought was Billy Haley and the comets Rock around the Clock and I still have it, bet it sounds awful today

Mrs Millls Plays Led Zeppelin,either that or The Rolling Stones Vol 1

Scrittie Politti's first album Songs to Remember and my Japan album, Assemblage were the most frequently played. I used to play them over and over and over again.

But, my Mum used to do the ironing in the room next to my bedroom and after an hour or so of my 'suicide music' as she called it, she begged me to play my Bat out of Hell album. It was never, ever cool to admit that I liked Meat Loaf at the time, but I guess it's ok now.

Why is it I always read posts like this when I'm halfway through a brew, is it any wonder of all my typos with all that coffee spluttered all over my keyboard

I bought "Highway 61 Revisited" by Bob Dylan and my Mum hated it, we had a sort of stereogram thing so it had to be shared by everybody in the house, still got the LP

Thanks Cashy but I don't think that's the shop I'm on about... this was a very small shop a couple of doors to the Black Horse and only sold second hand records mostly singles (like 10p a single)... got alot of 60's Tamla from there early 70's.
