Hope your well,

Craig here. I'm doing some social history research on music in Peckham and South East London. Really interested to hear about Intone Records, which appeared to be Peckham premier stockist of soul and reggae music, or any other stories or info about other record shops and vinyl suppliers in the area. Really would be a pleasure to hear from you.


Many thanks

Craig

Red records was in the high street late 70s and early 80s, Reeds Music/record shop was off the lane for years and I certainly used it while I was at Peckham Manor, but I also used Jones and Higgins as they had listening booths in the 60s and 70s. There was also another record shop in Choumert road but the name of it escapes me.

GSJ57 Folletts was still there in the 70's as well (maybe even the 80's?).


I seem to remember that Reeds was owned by the same people who owned Folletts, which was run by their daughter (name escapes me) and her husband, Brian. When it closed, Brian worked across the road in the electrical shop, Edwardes? which is now the coffee shop.


That's when E.D. had some character (sits back and awaits stampede !!!!).

Craig, it was nice way to waste away a few hours on a Saturday or during a lunch during my time at Peckham Manor because it was a way of keeping out of the cold in the autumn and winter months.

This a nice site but it only seems to have photos of record bags or photos of shops past and present but nothing I can find by way of reminiscences/stories relating to these stores, many of which I've visited.

Also had a stall in the lane at the Walworth Road end on the same side of the road as Rossi ice cream shop, photos of which occasionally pop up on the Facebook group "Now and then Walworth" The stall was a meeting point for many of us that lived down the lane in the 60's and 70's.

  • 4 weeks later...

I bought some of my records in Woolworths, Camberwell, Brixton and Peckham (from the mid 70s). Then most, including my lovers rock collection in the early 80s and other 12" were bought from the A1 stores in Walworth Road.


From the front the A1 looked like it only sold ornaments and lighting.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
