i remember that shop
bought my first record box from there & still got my "Manchester Underground" slipmat (black with white text) aswell.

the entrance stairs were a bloody nightmare ,steep to go down into & weird to exit from - i really whacked my shins the one time when i tripped up them on my way out of the shop

that comment about "everytime there is a new record out - there is about 20 that copy it" was & is still true.

is it still going this shop ? or when did it close down ?

Shut down mate. Most of the good shops have now Welly always went with the new styles but got out at the right time when all that wigan pier 'donk' shit hit the clubs

That brings back some memories. Went a couple of times. Shame the documentary was ruined by "I'm a dreamer"
