Uk record shops doc

Not got all the way through this yet but thought it might be of interest to some. Mentions of Mr Godin/ Soul City (nice bags btw), John Anderson/ Soul Bowl, Peckings etc in the first 10 minutes!

There's a book to accompany the documentary too:

I've got (& read) the book, but was waiting for this big time.

Watched it last night after seeing it mentioned on Facebook as now being available.

Essential viewing, as was (is) "The Last Pirates" all about UK pirate radio and available on BBC iPlayer.

Love stuff like this........big up to Vijay and the 2Funky boys and Schooly for his hard work in putting it all together.

 

Cheers,

Agreed, wonderful to see something like this on Youtube as the majority of record collecting/buying videos on there aren't that long and are usually focused on aging rockers looking for rare 70s prog albums and things like that.

It's a fabulous insight into black music/record shops genres from the early days. My first experience was Ralphs in Manchester but by the time I got there all the good stuff had been hoovered up by the big guns in town. I had to settle for the odd Golden World/Rictic/Motown single. Ralphs may have sold other stuff I can't remember. But for me it was Soul record shop.
