Name: Ted Trundle
Comment: Happy memories of buying my first Throbbing Gristle vinyl LP at Red Rhino in York circa 1979...

Name: Cranky
Comment: I remember when they had punk singles in a box on the counter and racks full of prog rock! I must have spent a fortune there in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was a great place to get punk/indie & reggae. Very sadly missed.

Comment: When Tony told me he was leaving London and planned to open a record store in York "that won't be selling any commercial rubbish, just good new progressive stuff" I was scared of him going bust. I just coudn't imagine a record shop not selling pop music. I'm glad he never listened to me. He had a vision and it became a reality. That's a wonderful legacy, to make creative things and ideas actually happen.

Name: Max Evans
Comment: Such a great guy, risked life and limb driving that old van round the North East "wholesaling" his gear to us all. Fantastic times.

Name: Jonathan Grant
Comment: Loved that shop, spent lots of £££. Never got to know the name of the guy in the photo.

Name: Stevie Crowder
Comment: Red Rhino Records, once on Gillygate in York then in Goodramgate, (where a succession of bad pressings from Diamond Head Canterbury and Jethro Tull Broadsword turned me temporarily off vinyl.)

I lived in York from 83-87 and the musical highlight, when my three children were all under 6, was to see Robert Fripp play at Red Rhino Records in Goodramgate. Asking for chords from his audience, he set about weaving patterns which were mesmerising. A great memory.
