teddie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Remember going to see a pop group there, to launch their new album in the 70s, no one recognised them as they walked past, so they had to come out of the shop again, and re do it, was great, we all cheered. God, can I remember the name of them ?? Think it was Strawberry summat or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAIRBOY Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 But what about a few memories of the Dixon Lane shop? In the early to mid 50s, the staff there were great, and I bought my first 78 there! Wasn't Big Ada's fruit and veg stall outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me 17 guineas and I paid it off weekly out of my pocket money. A Selmer Lincoln as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodens Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I always remember asking a middle-aged, female, shop assistant in Canns for "Lets Spend The Night Together" by the Stones. "That's not a very nice title for a song" she replied - how times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadheadfred Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dark Side of the Moon is one of the all-time classic albums by - Pink Ffloyd. Correct.... ...but they only used the title a year after the Medicine Head album of the same name was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
