42 John William Street (where Vinyl Tap now is) – Closed 2012. Wall of Sound had moved from Halifax three years prior to this 2010 article: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/blur-rarities-boost-towns-last-5000654. Their website explains: https://wallofsoundrecords.com/about/ (and has photo of the shop). Later re-established in Harrogate, then Leeds. Elliot Smaje was the proprietor.
