Was it Impulse?

If so, I think there was a thread about it fairly recently.

Damon,
It wasn't Impulse.The shop I mean was 2 doors down from the Albert pub.

Oh, OK mate. Dunno then! ;)

I thought Revolver was on high street near the old legends bar?

I'm sure it was Impulse. It had a green sign on the top of the building. Used to sell t-shirts and lots of "hippy" trinkets. Wasn't there a car park at the side of it where the old Albert pub used to be?

What was the record shop called further down the road- next to the wine bar on the corner? Used to get some great tunes from there

Does anyone remember that record shop Warp that used to be on Division street?

Yes- remember WARP vividly. Used to go in there saturday lunchtimes. You colud always get stuff cheaper in there than say Virgin or HMV.

I remember when the owners of Warp appeared on that yearly Enterprize show that used to be on around 6:30pm. They didn't win but what year would that have been?

Remember Violet Mays?.... That was a good shop for picking up older singles and ex juke box stuff. Peter Frampton... 'Show me the way" what a find that was..... erm....

They sold comic books too I think... or was that after a change of ownership?

I think that was 1991.

Warp the record label is now one of the most successful and admired independent labels in the world - check out www.warprecords.com to see how far they've come since those heady days of '89-'90 when they reached the top 40 three times with tracks by LFO, Nightmares on Wax and Tricky Disco.

The shop and label were founded by Steve Beckett and Rob Mitchell, but unfortunately Rob died a couple of years ago due to cancer. They moved their operation from Sheffield to London about 3 years back, but their links with the city will always remain.

They are particularly known for their continuing collaborations with Sheffield's world famous design team, The Designers Republic - www.thedesignersrepublic.com

it was geoffs record shop in the late 70s

in response to the question regarding the shop top of cambridge street it was called "AMAZING RECORDS"

I bought my first two FOCUS elpees from this shop Jeff's Records, before moving to there the shop was on Division Street near to John Fanthams barber shop. The shop on Cambridge street had Faulkners Snooker hall above it and I used to play snooker with Jeff's younger brother Craig there. Jeff is now a market trader and also does carboots, usually at Marsh Lane or Chesterfield.

Faulkners snooker hall,
seen many a man walk out of there almost in tears after losing a weeks wages on the tables.
