Name: Robin Aitken Comment: I lived in Aberdeen Road, Highbury from 1969 to 1978 and I occasionally frequented Albert's Record Shop in the Holloway Road. If I remember rightly Jimmy Jewel, tenor saxophonist, and a friend worked there. I frequented all the jazz record shops in London from 1969 onwards - particularly Dobells, Asman's, Ray's, and occasionally Dave Carey's and Chris Wellard's and later Mole. I still have an LP of Lee Wiley on American RCA, A Touch Of The Blues, which I bought in Alberts. A nice shop with good stock.
Name: Nigel Thompstone Comment: Best record shop in London in late 1960s. Under the counter new albums,, Disraeli Gears, Floyd, Doors and all other west coast bands for under £1.Also great blues, folk, jazz used records.Still have many albums with the sticker just inside the cover. Always jumped off the bus on the Holloway Road on way into Islington. Great memories. (2021)
