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…

                apyssjw ah was that the same weekend? I was at that Creamfields - Sasha had lost his records on the way back from the States and had to borrow records for his Creamfields set.

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

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

                            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!)

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

                                  Unbroken1 he sold me loads of those - mostly on Plastica - not great if i am honest ! -

                                    Dan …yeah, that was a nice track, had forgotten they released it, I have an import version I think.

                                    They were super-generous with the promos… but not sure any of them made the cut when I sold off a lot of vinyl.

                                    They rereleased a few bits of Euro stuff, Francesco Farfa and Chab, and Eagles Prey ’Tonto’s Drum’… not often with particularly strong remixes iirc. The only release I ever remember getting wide-ish play was Slacker’s mix of Clarkness (which wasn’t one of their best remixes either tbh).
