Comment: Black Sedan was a great (little) shop in the early 1970s opposite what is now the local Jobcentre in Rochdale catering to the 'Heads' - Beefheart and prog galore - painted black walls as I recall and primarily albums.

Comment: Oh yes, the Black Sedan. Great interior decor, that place. Black staircase and LP sleeves on the wall. Roger Dean posters. Left a few quid there. Also found a Black Sedan plastic bag the other day in t'attic. Must be 40 years old. Receipts for Relics and Space Ritual. Whatever became of Moira and Sheila? Tractor and Black Sedan. What a great upbringing. Glad to be old enough to have experienced this era in Rochdale. No more Rock and Roll.

I found an advert for Black Sedan Records 127a Oxford Rd., All Saints, Manchester from back page of Mole Express Fanzine/Magazine Nov. 1975 Issue 47 10p – ad. suggests that shop will be moving to University Precinct and that there is also a second shop at 17 Fleece St. Rochdale.
You can see the advert on the web page at this link:
