I remember buying this LP from Paradise st West Brom

Let it Bleed 1969, getting home skipping through the tracts to see what was on. Got it later on 8 track for my car.

That would be Turners music shop in Paradise Street. Judas priest spoke about it in this article from 2014

Yes 68 I remember it being at the bottom end of Queens sq when you went up the steps there was a pub called the Flask. There was another record shop in the Kings sq called Terry Bloods hardly anyone used it and closed fairly quickly

I bought this after hearing just that track. Midnight Rambler and You Can’t Always Get What You Want were the other big tracks as I recall. But I really liked this

Rackhams that was a posh shop, Mom used take us there when we was kids to see Mr Hollie at Xmas. Years later help to install the telephone system there, got some good overtime as we used to work out of shop hours.

terry bloods forgot about him phill always a good selection always bit more expensive though.they were great them record shops.but if you remember when the big boys of the day moved in on the lucrative record market so to speak.in West Bromwich alone there was ,john menzizes ,w.h.smith ,even Woolworths tesco and littlewoods all sold records ,killing off the independent shops.then we were all conned in to buying the CD. thank god the vinyl making a comeback.

Not so posh from my experience of working there one Xmas when I was a student. I bought a few records there as it was the most convenient place.
