“My big sister used to go to Placemate 7 every weekend, around '78-'80. Apparently "Ooh" Gary Davies used to DJ there, before he hit the big time with Radio 1, and his 10cc mates used to pop in from time to time. That's what my sis told me, anyway!”

“That's the kind of artefact I like - none of your box-fresh, never seen the light of day pristine nonsense here! It reeks of history.”

“My sister worked at the Flacks Arcade branch in 1978, as her Saturday job. I remember her bringing home Real Life by Magazine in one of those bright orange Javelin bags - they were plastic by then, though. I'm 11 years younger than her and it all seemed impossibly glamourous! Javelin was a great record shop, I can still picture the counter, set at the back of the shop on a little platform. The record racks were all wooden. I loved going in to see her if my mum took me up town on a Saturday afternoon. I don't know if she was equally as joyful, though!”
