If I remember correctly, the record store inside was H.M.V. Comment: Marty

Name Robert Sider

Yes it was in Top Shop I worked there as sales assistant to the Manageress Madeleine Hare around 1977. We had both worked for W.H.Smiths in St Stephens St prior to this in their record department. I do remember the EMI rep popping a copy of a single onto our decks and telling us that it would be number 1, we disagreed and only ordered 5 copies. The single was Kate Bush Wuthering Heights. I spent most of my money in the first year there buying obscure punk singles but then got hooked on disco and started collecting 12" disco singles. I ended up with over 300 by the time I had left. They were great days we had the Radio DJ Adrian Juste visit on occasions, once with Fiona Richmond one of Paul Raymond's soft porn actress's.(Nov 7, 2016).
