A mate of mine lived near the carousel, so used to go in every week or so. Some interesting people in there back in the day. Met a very "interesting" young lady there too... I was 18, and she was my first experience of a girl who knew exactly what she wanted, if you get my drift :) (no, she...

I always used to buy the plastic sleeves for my albums, and make sure they went back in as soon as I'd finished playing them, whereas my older sister used to just throw her albums onto the floor when putting a new one on. She has some very rare albums, and often talks about how much they are...

Wow, didn't think I'd see his name on here. He had a very different voice and style that not many "got" at the time, although greatest voice? Not for me. Elvis would be on the list near the top. Still got my Beefheart LP's in perfect condition.:)

I live there too, and know who you mean. We feel sorry for his Russian wife....
