and I always thought it was a very high class type of shop.The name of the shop was red neon sign which was fixed to a lime green background.This shop is
now called " Bilal Shop " and it's beside " Konkan " an Indian restaurent There is another business called " Property Point " which is now where there was a
shop called " Mac's " He sold second hand records and always had new Decca and CBS records for sale I bought my first Bob Dylan Album from him.I always
had my suspicion there was something illegal about this shop.He eventually just closed down and I always felt his source of supply was gone .Being a quiet
and shy young man at that time I never got into much chat with him.I checked out the current names on the street from Google Earth and the rest is from
my minds eye. As I keep saying I could be wrong but my recall is pretty good for an old guy.I'm amazed how much rubbish we all have stored upstairs.Last edited by camden; 03-11-2012, 09:25 PM.

Originally posted by dinny View PostYour right Camden ...I couldn't remember the name of mac's shop...myself and my friends spent hours in the shop talking to the owner....we used to sell or swap records with him.....never noticed anything shady about the man though
seemed very pleasent and as I said I never had a conversation with him but I often wondered where he got the records from.Maurice for Bargains South
Richmond Street and South Willaim Street also would have stock of Decca and CBS around that time.All of the records were new and in the original sleeves.
