British Record Shop Archive - Museum of Soho - Berwick Street

[Expiry2011]

Passed a fantastic pop up exhibition in Soho about record shops in Soho
Loads of info ( in fact maybe too many words!) great pictures and record bags
Well worth a visit if you are passing

I went in on Saturday. Talk about a blast from the past...and further back too. A few missing, but as you say, well worth a visit.

120. Kenny Lynch? Never knew he had his own shop - did it only stock his and Tarby's records?

121. Disci - you can see it in this fine night-time shot of Piccadilly Circus:

Mr Bongo is on the map above - no.86 - shown at it's final location Poland Street.

It started off, if memory serves, in the basement of Daddy Kool Records when they were in Berwick Street.

I used to go to Bongos then, down the stairs on the right. I remember a guy with a head of curly hair, maybe a goatee, wasn't dave, was it Rufus something? Then it went to Lexington, split in half with brazilian and latin in the back. Then Poland st. A sad day when it closed.

I'm sure the map's right but I remember Groove being where 56 is, not 55?
