Rediffusion (Nottingham)

Name: stevenandgeoff
Comment: Rediffusion in Nottingham was the place I bought my first LP at the age of 17 in 1959 - it was Connie Francis Sings Rock & Roll Million Sellers. Although not a great LP it got plenty of play.

Being a gay teenager in a homophobic world, I found this basement store a special place to visit and remember listening to a reissue of Don't Smoke In Bed by Peggy Lee and returning to the centre of Nottingham clutching the EP and knowing that I was different in a straight world.
