First I bought myself was The Beatles 1967-70 (Blue Album) aged 13. Fittingly I completed my Beatles collection by buying all but one of their albums from "Revolver" on Lister Gate, just outside the entrance to Broad Marsh.

I then started walking up Mansfield Road to "Good Vibrations" to buy 2nd hand 60s albums before settling on Select-a-disc for the cheaper CDs (all up that black painted staircase) when the old albums started being re-issued on that format circa 1987. I remember going in Arcade Records a few times, also HMV when it was still in Broad Marsh (they moved to Lister Gate 85? which forced Revolver to close). Virgin must have opened late 1986 with "Our Price" opening around the same time somewhere between Viccy centre and the market square.
