“I used to work at Robinsons Records 78/79 on the singles bar, many happy memories.Flannel you couldn't be further from the truth about the singles stock, it was HUGE! Rare Records couldn't even compete,Robinsons had excellent connections in the States, and imported shedloads of allsorts every week.I'll have to dig out some catalogues and scan some examples, and post 'em.Also it'd be great if we could get Mike who was the singles bar manager, to put some of his memories on here,he worked there from begining to end,still workin' as a dj now as then, can't remember his moniker at the mo,but I'll put a link to his site when it comes back to me.Funnily enough, can't remember the moggy!”
“I remember Dr Floyd, lovely fella, he was like your dad on acid ! Always wondered where he is, used to hang out together throughout the time of waves and gore st jillys. The bell doesn't ring with Elvis though, perhaps you could jog my memory zacky, in fact you and i probably knew each other at the time.”
“I remember Gyro, my old mate Adam from primary school was in the band, they were well good, can't recall the sad cafe connection tho'. The frontman was Chris Gill.”
“I think it might have been as early '78, certainly '79. I went there quite a bit round that time, the owner Maurice Hilsley, was a mate of my dad, so I got in free !”
“Hi, I knew Stewart quite well, he gave me a couple of sax lessons and sent me on my way! The last I heard of him was that he had settled down (can't imagine Stewart settling can you?!) with a lady in Hebden Bridge. Mark Shaw”
