Name: Jay Kay Comment: Glasgow Virgin was a genuinely exciting shop when it first opened. Tons of non-mainstream records* and a fairly subversive attitude. Originally had a cloakroom at the door to deter shoplifters. For a while had its own head shop concession (Stone Age) selling dope-related paraphernalia. Needless to say it went downhill after a massive corporate makeover.
Name: Jan Robertson Comment: I remember the first Virgin record shop in Argyle Street, Glasgow. Oh it was one dump! Folk used to go there and hang out - the windows were filthy - just a hang-out place. (15 February 2017)
