Anyone know what version of Cities In Dust they are playing?

Looks like the vinyl version to me.

Mercury and Solace in there too I think? Those were the days indeed!

baggers44 probably bought it off Enzo now i think about it who i always thought was a miserable and slightly cynical fucker in comparison to the other fellas in Plastic Fantastic who were mainly sound.

Any idea who the guy that worked there was who had a pony-tail?

hugopal …Johnny Orange?

baggers44

Cheers - he was sound.

When I used to pop down there with my pocket money as a green 13 year-old he’d let me have any record for £5, including promos.

Totally mega. Was at Creamfields that weekend.

hugopal they nearly all were actually - a good laugh. Obsessed with football. Would keep proms and stuff back for the regulars. They played the star bar in Bedrock a few times. Enzo and Oliver Macgregor also guested on Diggers Kiss Fm show once. That shop was a big fixture for years.

baggers44 Oliver was always my go to when I was in the shop. Had the innate ability to fleece me of exactly £50 more than I’d told myself I could afford to spend, each and every time…

baggers44 …terrible to think of the catastrophic environmental damage all those Swain & Snell white labels must have caused

Pickles

Yes, that was the same year.

baggers44 Was that the same Oliver who was resident at Lawler’s Harlem?

Dan Yeah, that’s the one.

vinnyt77 Nice bloke tbf…..put me on to some corkers.

Gave me a promo of this

vinnyt77 He produced with a mate of his under the name “Menace” - tribally sort of stuff which was his thing for a while - i think they did a remix of the Bagiuo Track for renaissance (somewhere in the dense forest of vinyl upstairs!)

baggers44 Think Menace was just a pseudonym for Swain and Snell?

…think Discogs is incorrect here, pretty sure baggers is right, Menace was Ollie (and another)

….odd that I can recall that, but not a single Menace/Swain & Snell record
