I've got a couple of cds ordered, 3000 yen total. Shipping is 1380 and they've added VAT at 876 if that helps.

I'm racking my brain to remember which one you mean mate, so many have closed over the years. The one I was thinking of was Revolver, on Clasketgate near the theatre.

I've got my facts slightly mixed up mate, terrible when your memory starts going. That's volume 1 you have there. James must've stepped in just after. I had same problem in Lincoln regarding import shops. We had one which closed in early 80s just as I was starting to earn money! Conway & Temple was the one that cost me a bit from back then. There's an old website with Hammy's bible somewhere, will see if I can find it. That's impressive mate, you have most of them. Last number on Discogs is 36, Sheila E which is fourth from end on your picture. Thanks for sharing.

James Hamilton did the preview mixes on first few and was pushing them in his Record Mirror column. Did well initially but he had a disagreement on the money and pulled out. He still plugged subsequent releases, every two weeks, but I think it emerged the sales figures were never as high as initially claimed. There's a full list on discogs without track details, 30 something releases. I only bought the first one. Played it to death and cost me a fortune buying the tracks. Bear in mind if you play it again, they were all new releases in a two week period. Some serious classics on the list?

I tripped over him back in 80s buying Streetsounds albums originally. Expansions released the Heaven in the afternoon album in the 90s. Talk to me is one of my prized 12s to be honest. Sad to hear he's gone
