“Yeah, Jeff asked if it was okay to share my number and I was happy for him to do so.
That sounds like a plan.
Are you still living in and around Manchester? Are you on WhatsApp? If so, find me on there....”
“Hiya Craig,
Yep, certainly up for that! I'm not due back till April 30th, unless the Spanish government kick me out early! Email me on pme690@gmail.com and we'll do some catching up!”
“Haha! Craig had the glasses, I was the taller, handsome guy! Glad we made a difference for you.
It's amazing where Record Peddler comes up in on-line conversation. I'm also on Twitter at @record_peddler get on there and join the fun!
Mark”
“Hi Pants Cat,
Great to hear from you. Mark here, stuck in enforced isolation in a Spanish Villa!
Duck Stab by the Residents I guess you are talking about! Yeah, certain things did always seem to be in stock. Interesting to watch posts elsewhere about records we couldn't give away back in the day.
A prime example would be the debut single of the Stone Roses 'So Young/Tell me' we had signed copies, white label copies and the standard issue, but although I loved it and played it a lot, it was a very slow mover at first.
Anyway, keep in touch. It's Mark here by the way!”
“Hi All,
Mark here, from Record Peddler. The shop stayed open until 1992, I then spent three years doing record fairs around the UK and Europe, eventually selling the stock to the guy who took over at Swan Street and opened a guitar shop.
I kept some stuff and still have a lot of Factory label collectables and other bits and bobs.
It's great to hear that the shop is still remembered fondly by customers. In those pre- social media days, I never did get the chance to say thank you to everyone who supported the shop over the years, so I'll do it now... 'Thank you' to each and every one of you.”
