Violet Mays was just off the Moor,corner of earl street I think.The record shop I remember on The Wicker was Kenny's

[Lushcannon 10]

There was one quite far down London Rd @1975 but I can't remember it's name.

[Steptoad 12]

There was one at the bottom of Sharrow Lane too, that specialised in reggae.

"Revolution-Castle Market Gallery"

 

Did that later turn to Spin City records, remember buying some decent rare and bootleg stuff from there in the mid/late 80s.

What was the first record shop in Sheffield and the others that followed it?

 

I always remember the first Virgin record shop being on the moor was a rite hippy place

 

My first single i bought was My Blue Sky by ELO

 

Philip Cann at the top of Dixon Lane long before Virgin was thought of

Cox-Radiovision on Attercliffe Road in the 1950's

My first single was "It's Over" Roy Orbison, it was purchased from a record shop on Spital Hill either next door or a couple of doors up from the East House pub.

 

I can't remember the name of the shop but it was early '64 and I was 9yrs old.

Remember a place in the nearly 70's opposite Church House, I think its St James Street near to the cathedral. downstairs, called Some Kinda Mushroom, all 2nd hand L.P's if I remember, lots of Ravi Shankar albums!, the owner was a guy with long hair (What a surprise!)
