I got to meet interesting people. Serve folks like Carl Cox and Norman Cook. Get on the guest list for gigs (like Black Grape at the event). Get given promo copies by the reps (like the first ‘Presidents of the United States of America’… on yellow vinyl!). Buy more music than I could possibly justify….. and have a fucking good time.
I remember the warmth and camaraderie of local traders. The happiness of punters discovering something new, or half remembered. The sense of belonging.
Sadly, at the time I was living with a joyless harridan of a woman, who convinced me to take employment elsewhere, as Rounder paid me peanuts…. Terrible decision.

Goodbye Rounder… you’ll be missed

It was one of those places I could go in with Baby in the buggy and not care if I got blocked in because it would just lead me to peruse another interesting section!

There are not enough of these shops left now. Such a shame.
