I used the record department in Hammonds (Binns) which was up on the top floor.I got "Bob Dylan" and "Freewheelin'" there. Prior to that, I bought rock'n'roll from Stardisc in Silver Street, Syd. Scarborough's, Gough & Davy in Savile Street. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Flas...l-1950s-Hull/story-18563556-detail/story.html A poster on here (Renegade?) has put this up on the Hull Music Archive Facebook page: I used to like Stardisc the most - old Lou Saphir(?) would listen to what you were talking about and get the records you wanted. But do you remember any of these? http://www.britishrecordshoparchive.org/east-yorkshire.html
Regis Records, Holderness Road...as a teenager in the 1970s, the thrill of getting pocket money and then later on part-time job wages to spend on records still lives with me. I used to occasionally go into WH Smiths on King Edward Street on the way home from school (Marist College) and of course Sydney Scarborough's on a weekend! Gough & Davy's for musical instruments and sheet music...blimey I am getting misty eyed now!
Used to use Scarboroughs and Stardisc mostly, also Clevelands on Hessle Road. There was one in town, possibly in Savile St, can't remember the name. Anyway they used to display the sleeves with the albums still inside them, need I say more...
Didn't Trev Bolder's dad have a record shop, over the Hessle Road flyover, just before North Road, also called Regis Records (the ABC Regis cinema had been there and the music shop took its name from the cinema)? And was the Holderness Road one up near Durham Street/Jalland Street?
Trev's dads place on Hessle Road was called The Bolder Record Bar. I used to go to Scarbough's, Sheridan's and the place in the station (I always forget what it was called), along with the market.
Sydney Scarborough, Tempo Records, WH Smiths, Numerous record fairs, Car boot sales, ebay and anyone who wanted to sell what they had. But the hours spent in Syd.Scars over the years especially during the summer months was most enjoyable. I have got 3 boxes of vinyl in the shed that I have never played and never will play. However, they are gaining value as each year passes. Some more than others.
I remember selling some albums to fund an away trip to see City. The place was on Paragon station. The records were by a group called Geordie, lead singer Brian Johnson who went on to bigger things.
Record Exchange, then John Sheridan's (which moved to a spot between the Merchant Navy Hotel and the Regent Cinema).
East Hull Radio and Records was my first in Cottingham. Labelled wrong on the link. Then Sid Skids where I used to mooch around saturday morning and then a few years later on Offbeat where I used to hang around all day. Not bought a record or CD in decades.
