“My teenage years in record shop bags: Roxcene, Newport - hair-metal a speciality, top floor of the Kingsway next door to the sex shop.” Craig Austin
I bought physical graffiti from there....twas warped but still played it to death
| Hawkmarty SUBS Many are called... | Had a delve into one of my memory boxes and dug out a load of record bags from my youth. From Cardiff I have Spillers, Buffalo Records, Sound Advice and those orange Virgin. I also have a paper Virgin 7" bag with the Rocket Ranger cartoon on it. From Penarth I have In Sounds and one of those Woolies bags with the musicians on it with the legend "Woolworths For Top Records". From Newport Roxcene Records. From Yeovil Acorn Records. There's a Parrot Records too which advertises shops in Southend, Chelmsford, Ipswich, Colchester, Braintree & Sudbury. I even have a paper 12" Spillers bag which has little records all over it and advertises Spillers in Cardiff and Newport. |

I found this in the 'Glamorgan Gazette' dated 15th November 1984: “ROXCENE RECORDS. Say goodbye to your Christmas present problems because the Roxcene Record Team have the answer. We have the largest selection of Records and Tapes in Mid Glamorgan. Whatever your taste in music we can supply. From Heavy Metal to Classical from Reggae to Country and Western. It's no problem and it is as simple as that. Also on our first floor: T Shirts, Pop Towels, Posters, Pop Earrings, Heavy Metal Belts, Pop Calendars, Patches, Badges, Pop Ties, Pop Pillowcases, Pop Photographs and much more. Compact Discs and Japanese Pressings always in stock. Music Videos in both VHS and Betamax in stock now. Let the Roxcene Record Team spoil you for choice. Our experience is obvious.”
