Is that so? Obviously a gem undiscovered on my part in the early 1970s.

What was the shop in Grange Rd West ? Was that Rushworths. Not only could you get records but also pre-recorded reel-to-reel recordings, if you can remember them !! Also there was a shop up there were you could rent 8mm / 16mm films in the days before video. Maybe that was Rushworths  Rushworths was at the top of Grange Rd, i can remember my Dad having a reel to reel tape recorder, made by Waltzer i think or something like that.

Rushworths within Robbs?
Not sure when grangey was redeveloped but Rumbelows opposite present Tj`s must have appeared around this time and not forgetting Grandfare(old TJs site) and Beatties?
Also Bargain Box Records on borough pavement towards St Werburghs square.
I think Honest Jeffs in the Market was probably post 74

Wasn't there a stall in Birkendead Market? Phoenix Records? The only problem with the Market then was it was only open 2 days a week, Wednesday and Saturday. So unlikely to get a record on the day of release as they were usually released on a Tuesday. Don't ask me why.

Precisely, and still unsure if the Market, prior to it burning down on 9th November 1974, had a record stall, as you say also opening times would not have helped. Phoenix Records sounds familiar, where was that located?

Thanks for that, had a feeling it was, options pre-the new market, for buying albums usually involved a favoured few places.

That would have been a Walter, pioneer manufacturer in the '50-'60s.
