When my local record store Hippie Haven Music Café was forced to closed down to make way for ‘progress and development’ I helped the owner Chris to move shop and clean up. There were many old records that did not make Chris’s cut and ended up in a skip. I could not help myself but engage in a bit of ‘record’ dumpster diving that day! This particular record caught my attention and has been in my collection since. I always enjoyed browsing through Chris’s record collection and chatting at lengths with him, I learned so much about artists, labels, and genres from Chris and thanks to him have some real gems in my collection. Hippie Heaven was a meeting place for local musicians, collectors and enthusiast alike, and had a real vibe and buzz regardless of what time you dropped in, I miss really those days.
