Re: record shop
Mrs Marshall was the classic old school record shop proprietor. She knew each of her regular customer's tastes and she would recommend records that she thought might interest you. I discovered many a classic sound in her shop.
The woman at Tony's was good that way, too. As I didn't live too far away, she would sometimes let me take records home "on approval" before deciding whether I wanted to buy it or not. |
Re: record shop
the fog has lifted the band box opposite the
market hall yes a little shop with one row of records the full length of one side I THINK :mosher: |
Re: record shop
That's right, they were down the righthand side with the counter facing you at the end. Always, had lots of sale records. I once bought a single called "Liza Jane" by Davy Jones & The King Bees on spec for 1/6. When I played it, it was rubbish, so I made a frisbee out of it. It's now worth £1,000+, because it was David Bowie's first ever single. Doh!... :eek:

Re: record shop
Are there still any record shops in Accy these days or is it just Wolly's and Asda and the like:confused:
|
Re: record shop
There's Custard Cube in the market hall, which sometimes has some interesting items. If you're a vinyl lover, ask the guy if you can see the stuff he has in his storeroom on the upstairs balcony. He's got a veritable Aladdin's Cave of LPs up there!
The only other record shop, Music Zone on Broadway, managed by our own Lindsay Ormerod, sadly closed some time ago. |
Re: record shop
napped a couple of 45s upstairs yon,yesterday, not what i was after but what i'd forgot about.:D;)
|
Re: record shop
I can't remember Bandbox although the name sounds familiar.I just can't visualise the shop.
Marshalls was brilliant. I discovered some excellent music there - as you said she used to know the sort of stuff you liked and then would recommend something else you may well like. I usually did. |

Does anybody remember the Golden Disc Bar, on Broadway, opposite Woolies? Downstairs was a TV/hi fi/electrical appliance store called Wisemans, but the record shop was upstairs. The big attraction here was that you could buy an LP on the never-never. Just slap your deposit down, then they gave you a little book which was stamped as you paid your installments. Here's one for the coffin dodgers - anybody recall the Co-op on the corner of Abbey Street and Barnes Street, with the record department upstairs? The whole store closed in early 1966 and they sold off their stock at silly prices. I picked all The Who's 45s for two bob each...was well chuffed! :) |
Re: record shop
remember the co-op,thought it was just furniture:confused: which played no part in my life at that time.:D never knew they had a record dept,hence i never went in it.

Re: record shop
I recall that, in the late 40s/early 50s, a large shop next to where Catlows Fruit market used to be (top of Broadway and where dry cleaners is now), sold records (old 78 type)
I remember going there with my brother and we were ushered into a large wood and glass listening booth. The assistant, wearing gloves, placed the record on the turntable, and we sat and listened before buying. That shop later became a furniture store where I bought stuff for my 1st house in 1961(was called Platts) |

Re: record shop
Bandbox was on Blackburn Road, opposite the market hall, Cashy. Remember the shop he's on about, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Re: record shop
What was the "Pirate " radio station that broadcasted from the Irish sea for a while , thinking that Radio Caroline was off the coast of East Anglia and the Irish sea station was aiming for better recption/audience in the north-west and Scotland

Re: record shop
I thought that the music shop next to Catlow's was Wallace's, and wasn't there a TV & Record shop at the junction of Little Blackburn Rd and Abbey St - about where the Canine entrance is now - Abbey TV(?), something like that - know my Dad got our first TV from there in 1954

Re: record shop
One not coming up seems to be the Abbey Record Bar-around in the mid to late 70s when I was buying records by the sackful. It was on Abbey Street, just as you walked around from the top of Little Blackburn Road-very narrow, lots of 2nd hand stuff. Got the Magical Mystery Tour EP there.
