May 7th - Probe RecordsProbe Records - a real blast from the past for me! I have fond recollections of visits to this haven for 'Vinyl Sniffers', but when it was in its original Button Street location and Dead or Alive's frontman, Pete Burns, was one of the excrutiatingly fashionable (and, if I'm honest, scarily intimidating) counter staff. Originally set up by Geoff Turner, it continues to cater for all lovers and collectors of rare ('proper') records - sadly, one of the last of its kind...Love the juxtaposition with the faded painted advertisement for 'garage tools' on the wall behind and the electric blue tower of Urban Splash's Tea Factory poking over the flat roof.
Aaah Probe! Not the same since it moved...Remember their brilliant carrier bags?!! Many fond memories too - and it all started just a stone's throw from their front door Paulo! ;-) N xx
