Comment: Gordons was another Stockport shop which sold Punk/New Wave records. They mainly sold mainstream/chart stuff, and didn’t keep a huge stock so it was always worth checking their discount box for reduced items. Picked up several now very rare items here for pennies. I guess it closed around the mid-1980s.

I found this advert in the 'Manchester Evening News' dated 23rd January 1979:
“GORDONS RECORDS req. full time ASSISTANT, knowledge of contemporary music essential, aged 17-20; refs. reqd., gd. wages and conds. Tel.: 273 1908.”
... and this information from the webpage at this link:

“Record shop with three branches. The tiny Stockport branch was at 106 Prince's St. Reasonable selection of Rock / New wave.”
