Melody House. Bond Street.
Wag... That's a word from the pastGraffiti in St Annes on Wood Street. Skipped school the afternoon The Joshua Tree was released to go there and buy it. They hadn't received any copies. I had to wag the next morning too in order to buy and listen to the now in stock album. It was worth the wait. I loved that album.
Remember the Record Centre on Poulton Rd. You could go into a booth and put headphones on to listen to any records you wanted to buy.Anyone from Fleetwood remember the Record Centre on Poulton Rd and Soundtrack on Lord st?
Got most of mine from Cobweb in Cleveleys.
I bought my first single from there.Melody House. Bond Street.
Late 70s. Wasn’t that down in a cellar in one of the big office buildings at the top end of Oxford Street opposite Rafters/Jillys? I recall they took mostly remainder stock from record companies so had hundreds of copies of failed releases by obscure bands as well as some popular stuff. Mostly crap but the odd gem emerged.Yanks in Manchester.

Before I discovered Melody House I used to buy from Lewis's. It's only a couple of years ago that the last of my Lewis's singles bags disintegrated. I remember buying Blockbuster (The Sweet), Solely, Solely (MoR), Telegram Sam (T Rex) and a couple of Slade singlesST John’s market .
Lewis’s listen to before you buy in the booths
That was the one, next to the beehive.Where abouts on Dickson Road where the? I remember one virtually opposite the Odeon.
Remind me which shop was cobweb records in Cleveleys? What is it now?The original Cobweb records on Vic road Cleveleys ran by Derek he might have been a good business man but he had no idea about music remember him telling me Bruce Springsteen would not amount to much and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody would not chart it was too long
