I think Judy only mentioned Les Aldrich in Muswell Hill as it had quite a good folk section but besides that they only had classical - I doubt you'd find it very exciting. I used to go there for guitar strings rather than the record selection. But good to hear they are still going.

You'll visit Barry Everard's Record Collector shop I imagine. I've never been to his shop but remember buying some LPs from him by post in the mid 70s.Garth Cartwright wrote:I read Shades Of Violet last week (Leon lent it to me) as I'm heading off to Sheffield (arrived there this evening). Yes, a good straightforward celebration of a woman who had an eccentric passion for running second hand record shops. i hope to find out more out the once thriving scene now I'm here
Part One (of Two) - Maximum R&B: The Birth of the Who (link above) -just a brief mention by Pete about 3-4 minutes in - the shop he bought blues records from as a 14 year old.What show on 6 Music was it that mentioned Squires of Ealing?
One Stop Records, South Molton Street and HMV Oxford StreetWhere did Hendrix buy records when he lived in London?
I seem to remember reading that they bought a double LP compilation of the 1964-7 Pretty Things on their visit.Rock On seems to have served the pub rock and punk band community - tales of Ramones arriving wanting Sweet singles etc abound!
