Name: Julian Wild
Comment: Hi Lynne. I worked for Pitts Records from 1974 to 1984, seeing the changes from the upstairs room shop onto the High Street to the large store in the Guildhall Centre. Those years saw the moves through vinyl, cassettes, 8-track and on to CDs. I took over as manager at the end of the 1970s when David and Michael took over the Left Bank, and Martin Dyer moved to manage there. Loved the old place in many ways. I set up The Record Shop in Crediton in 1985 and that kept going for 27 years!

Name: Phillip Tolley
Comment: I loved both Pitts and Left Bank. I worked at HMV at the time and was the classical buyer, but if I wanted a special recording I went to Pitts or Left Bank.

Name: Mark Vittles
Comment: Loved Pitts. Remember cycling there from Beacon Heath, seeing an album that I was desperately looking for, then cycling back home to get my pocket money to go back and buy it. 39 years ago.

Name: Fran Carnell
Comment: Saturdays at the Left Bank - buying American records (which weren't available anywhere else), meeting friends upstairs in the coffee/milk bar is an abiding memory of my yoof.

Name: MO York
Comment: Pitts - where I first discovered The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, one of the staff must have been a fan as he played the whole double LP on a Saturday afternoon (1980 September).
