Was thinking the other day about the time I went to peps shop in Wolverhampton, and just started wondering what happened to him,is he still about.also the likes of Alan Rhodes and other well known characters from the early days
The old co-op store in 82-83, then the last shop was in queen street, think it was called watchdog but mick will correct me on that one. the coop was amazing...it had a huge cellar which ian duely filled with all the record collections he had purchased over the years.....it REALLY WAS a CELLAR FULL OF SOUL & every other genre you could imagine, there wasnt an inch of floor space...you could literally have to walk over records. however, the one nestled between the grand & vic was the place to be in its heyday...all those brilliant releases, in particular from the late 70's/early 80's...ian got them on their release dates...many of them now are collectors items and gone on to be massive tunes but back then you would pay the going rate...£1 for most of them.
