Our Price Records, St.Albans.
In the early 80's my girlfriend was the manager of the above mentioned establishment. After a long boozy lunchtime my mate The Egg and I dropped in to see her and hang out.

The music playing in the shop was always her choice so was probably something like the Wedding Present (have I told you I look like Dave Gedge?). We stumbled 'round the shop for a while looking at new releases.

A big bloke entered the shop and said loudly "Can you put 'Whistle Down The Wind' by Nick Heywood on?"

The Egg took umbrage at this and fuelled by eight pints of Benskins truth serum protested "Nick Heywood? You can fuck right off" As he finished saying this he realised how loudly he had said it and how big and lairy the other bloke and his mate were. The Egg is well over 6 feet tall but doesn't pose a threat pugilisticly.

Naturally I was honour bound to join in although I managed to persuade all protagonists to step outside to prevent the shop getting trashed.

It was just about a score draw as we heard the Police sirens and did a runner. So sadly I didn't have a fight in a record shop but did fight for Wedding Present over Nick Heywood.

Length? 12" black vinyl.

If you look like Dave Gedge
then I look like Luca Brasi, wearing the garotte.

I miss the Our Price in St Albans.
Student me spent many a happy afternoon browsing their bargain bins.
