sprite Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I think the shop in question was Curtis CO, The Steel City Stompers made a record there in the 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 There used to be a branch of Wilson Peck on London Road probably opposite the Cremorne pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushbaby Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 It was just up from Gerge Barlows, on London Rd near the bottom of Keetons Hill. It did some second hand stuff and some imports. I bought a few singles from there, which I still have. "Suite:Judy Blue Eyes" by CSN, "Land of 1000 Dances" by Keem-O-Sabe and "Billy Porter" by Mick Ronson. I think it was just a young guy who set up on his own. He was always good to chat to. He ordered me the first two Bruce Springsteen albums, in 1974, and I think he also did a good line in Bootlegs, but he kept these under the counter. I've racked my brains for the shop's name, but once you get past fifty..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe9T Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Does anyone remember a record shop at the lower end of London Rd?I remember it being there Xmas 1974 {the pop charts were in the window) but have never heard anything of it since. Was it called J and BW or something like that. I remember a record shop, next door to Harvey's opticians on London Rd, back in the early to mid 70s???

Violey May had three shops starting on City Rd, above Bernard Street; then South Street opposite the Old Corn Exchange and finally Matilda St, just off The Moor.
