Fopp was shite. It never had anything apart from mainstream releases - One felt obliged to buy stuff just because it was so damn cheap. Every time I went in one I loaded up on CDs and then on approaching the counter put them back and went to Rough Trade in Covent Garden instead to buy obscure CDs and Records. I can understand why people like it, but they never stocked anything that you couldn't buy anywhere else.

I dunno Bleep. I bought an awful lot of stuff in there over the last couple of years that most people won't and will not have heard of. Mainstream it ain't.

I suspect from previous postings that your tastes lean heavily toward electronica, and for this you may well be correct.

For indy it was a marvel.

EDF: another day, another attack.


Mockney,


I'm afraid your knowledge of recorded music technology is not sound.


The organic material used to play records was the thorn needle.


They could be purchased at Follet's record store at the bottom of Lordship Lane.

      Pride in place

      Vapes aren't big yet - most people still get their Chinese B&H Gold from one of the 'barbers'. The theme park isn't a bad idea - Torbay are using their cash for an 'Agatha Christie Trail' - so it's not so far-fetched.   'One-eyed Cop Killer' Dale Cregan and, most chillingly of all, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall are also from the neck of the woods. Would you believe Hucknall's dad was an actual barber? Brian & Michael (Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs) lived at the top of my road, and were abetted by The St.Winifred's School Choir on that aberration. They, of course graduated to the unforgivable 'Theres No-one Quite Like Grandma'. A truly terrifying place.

      Good idea for a theme park.  Obviously that would be in bad taste.  Although you can do the Jack the Ripper, Kray twins and no doubt other tours in London. Surely there are mobile/vape shops too
