I remeber buying records in Smith's, that bag is in amazing condition. Our Price was always a great place to buy records, they had a lot of shops, and an iconic bag.
Hi vinyl vault. I recently found some Woolworths record bags from the early eighties. One bag has a picture a super star competition on the bag If you were the lucky winner it was a trip for two to the USA. The other bags promote there low price record blitz. Always look forward to your new videos. 🙂🙂
I am pleased for you. Its nice to get the old bags as many were thrown away. Thanks for letting me know you look forward to my videos as it's comments like these that make it all worth while. All the best and good hunting.
I must admit, those record bags are far more interesting than the content!🤣I well remember that WH Smith design. I must have bought at least a dozen LPs in those in the 80s.
It's all fascinating stuff to those like us that remember them and younger bods that have no idea. My favourite was Woolworths when they dropped out the chart they'd do singles for about 20p-£1. Of course the average Woolworths buyer had no idea who the smiths or sisters of mercy were....... 30-40 years ago now time has flown. WHSmith does still do tons of overpriced books how it survives? I think by people in a panic at airports desperate for something to eat, drink or read. I'd say it is a truly crap shop these days. I had a period being into *wait for it* stationery...... but records took over pretty sharpish.
I never liked WH Smiths for records, they invariably used to keep just the outer sleeves in the racks and would end up in a dreadful condition from so much handling by customers. HMV were decent back in the day but not anymore.
Oh yes, I vaguely remember WH Smiths doing that and the covers getting bent over. I had some visits to HMV oxford street back in the day. That shop was massive.
Nice little haul as always mate,..I always went to wh smiths and HMV,I remember them using tape on the handles of the bags..an anti shoplifting ploy lol,and I noticed all the Floyd on the shelves 👍
Thank you. Yes, good shops and I miss those days. I never thought of it has an anti shoplifting ploy but now it all makes sense. PS you spying in my racks. 😉
