Comment: Sadly, you're seven years too late. A couple of weeks ago, the last reggae shop in north London shut its doors as Trevor Sax closed his Regal Music Centre for good. This shop used to be called Lasco's Music Den and was a leading place for pre-release in the early 1970s when Baba and June ran it. I bought loads of great Jamaican singles there circa 1973-76. From the 1980s almost to date, the store was run by Eddie Regal but in recent years the shop has been mostly poorly stocked. (28 October 2009)

Slight correction. Lasco was run by Baba and Manny, with Johnny Casco as the link in Jamaica. June came later. I was the very first customer.
