YEH MAN!! WE WAS THERE IN 2000.........AFTER MEETING THE LADY ON A STREET MARKET SHE SUGESTED WE VISITED THE SHOP....WROTE DIRECTIONS ON A RECORD SLEEVE! AS WE DON'T DRIVE WE WENT ON THE BUS - A GOOD FEW MILES FROM THE CITY CTR. LOOKIN' @ THE CLIP THE SHOP HAS BEEN SMRTENED UP A LOT? WAS POURING RAIN WHE WE WENT...ROOF WAS LEAKING!! AFTER A WARM WELCOME WE WERE GIVEN DISPOSABLE GLOVES.......MUST HAVE BEEN A ZILLION 45'S TIPPED INTO BOXES, THOUGH LP'S WERE IN ORGANISED BOXES. AFTER DIGGIN' AROUND FOR AN HOUR WE ASKED IF WE COULD PLAY OUR SELECTIONS? REPLY CAME BACK "AINT GOT NO PLAYER...THE ENGLISH GUYS BRING THEIR OWN" WE DID MANAGE TO FIND A FEW DECENT BITS. ALTHOUGH THE SHOP IS IN RUN DOWN AREA WE NEVER FELT UNEASY...THE PEOPLE IN THE SHOP WERE REALLY FRIENDLY. WE WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYBODY SHOULD VISIT THIS SHOP......CHICAGO IS A GREAT CITY!!

another sad loss..........the "general" unique voice.............will live on orfansfromdetroit

WELL DONE KID, WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET PEOPLE LIKE HERMON...............WHO CONTINUE TO GIVE US SUCH PLEASURE & NEVER RECEIVED THE RECOGNICIAN THEY DESERVED. HIS WORK WILL LIVE FOREVER. WE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF VISITING BRAD HALES @ PEOPLES RECORDS 5 YEARS AGO WHEN WE ON HOLIDAY FOR MY 50th. BIRTHDAY. HE IS DETERMINED TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE M.C. ALIVE & KICKING & THANKS TO HIM PEOPLE LIKE HERMON WILL GET THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. RIP BROTHER HERMON ORFANSFROMDETROIT
