Book and Record Exchange

My other favourite record shop in Hull in the 1970s was the Book and Record Exchange on Princes Avenue. Great shop because you could literally exchange things you did not like. I also loved the first Virgin store in Hull with its beanbags and their willingness to put anything you recommended on their turntable. Steve Chapman 2024

I found this advert in the 'Hull Daily Mail' dated 20th November 1969: “Secondhand Books and Records, Posters, Hangers, Good selection of Christmas Cards. All at the BOOK & RECORD EXCHANGE, 97 Princes Avenue, Hull. Telephone: 43988. ALSO AT 43 Carr Lane, Hull. Telephone: 25616."
... and this classified advert in the 25th April 1974 edition: “We are still looking for an ASSISTANT for the BOOK AND RECORD EXCHANGE. The successful applicant will be young, bright, energetic, responsible and well read, but not over-qualified. Apply in writing only to: THE MANAGER, BOOK AND RECORD EXCHANGE, 97 PRINCES AVENUE, HULL.”
