In the 1960s you could find Guy Stevens, Mod DJ from the Scene club, and David Williams, author of The First Time We Meet The Blues, buying records. This shop is referenced in the book A Mod Anthology as source of US imports.

Precise location was at the junction of West Street and Shaftesbury Avenue In the late 1960s/early 1970s.

Brixton Market, 71 Electric Avenue, SW9 (BRI 0711) The stall here are usually good for West Indian pop music, and another stall worth calling at is Lee’s in Cambridge circus next to (Tubby Isaac’s jellied eel stall) who sell a lot of secondhand rhythm ’n’ blues records, pop records and a bit of Jazz maily “rand b” based records usually come in the £1-25 price bracket. Lee is hard to track down and usually only sets up stall on fines days. Sheila Fitzjones “Hard to Find Records” Saturday 20 August 1966
