I used to manage Uptown Records on Market Street in the late 70's behalf of Carl Tebbut who also had a record store in Mablethorpe. We found a niche for selling 12 inch singles and Northern Soul for which we also did mail order. Other offerings included pin badges and sew on patches, posters and photos.
Happy memories.
