Name: Phill Roden
Comment: I worked at BG Records 1976 to 1981 in the shop in the picture, (20) and then when we moved next door to the bigger premises (16-18). I was also a regular at 78 Record Exchange (did it become Enzos?). I used to send customers there if they were after anything deleted. Brilliant time to be selling music with the birth of punk and the indie scene plus music videos, picture discs, and coloured vinyl.
