Michael SaundersA few singles were purchased there and added to the Royal Bar juke box circa 81 until about 83, odd day there one day, a band called the Fire Engines signed copies of their single at that time.

Anne BoyleWhen I hear 'Video Killed the Radio Star' by the Buggles I am instantly transported there! They had a TV showing music videos and we would stand for hours watching them.

David A CurrieBought my first vinyl in Budgies. Sid Vicious album Sid Sings. Had to take my mum with me as I was only 9 at the time. Still buying vinyl last weekend, but had to travel to Edinburgh.

Janice Earl-SummersEwan Kean I do! I remember buying an amaryllis for my mum and putting in the floor in the middle of that shop and dancing round it to Falco's Amadeus 🙂 did you see what I did there?

Raymond PerryRemember listening to the sex pistols in Budgies.

I found this notice in the 'West Lothian Courier' dated 3rd August 1979:
“BUDGIES RECORD SHOP - NOW OPEN! - 82 NORTH BRIDGE STREET, BATHGATE. Tel. 53411.”
... and this piece in the 24th April 1981 edition:
“At Budgie’s record shop the visits of live bands, which have included Twisted Nerve and Positive Noise, have proved very popular and the shop has been packed out with interested fans. Heather Barr, from Budgie’s, has been down in London promoting Glasgow band Factory Poems. She met John Peel and confirms that BBC tea is as bad as the DJ’s say!”
