I remember Ken's cycle shop, i bought a bike from BEN advert in 1975

a sun racer ,about £10 worth, thought i would be a proper smart arse with 3 in one oil and a screwdriver all over the gears

had to walk it up to the shop where Ken put it up on the bench and had it sorted in about ten minutes . He didnt want any payment , just said ,dont mess with what you know nowt about!

sound fella

Me and my Dad went into the first x records shop to buy our ACDC, and for me old Whitesnake (pre slip of the tongue) and for him bit of Leppard.

Loved it, I know most of you had formative stuff all around football, and we did and do love it, but our thing is and was always music. Taught me a lot.

I bought plenty of bootleg LPs in X-Records, mostly of Concerts I had been to. I remember they had a KISS colored vinyl with a picture of some bird giving a blow job. I think it was a bootleg of a Concert in Milan. You could always get some decent stuff there. Also a place in the downstairs Market by the Arndale in Manchester. They always had Cassette Tapes from Concerts around the UK.

Yep, not sure that they sold as much vinyl though.

 I, I mean my friend, was a bit naughty with their Derby St store and borrowed 45’s on a regular basis. 🙄

The same thing happened at E P Lees shop on Newport St facing the Wheatsheaf where ,oddly, a lot of the early picture sleeve punk singles turned up & were "borrowed" .

I didn't get one, but apparently a lot of the highly  collectable ( & possibly valuable now ) original Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch went there.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoYiQ8Qsozk
