Many years ago a friend (in the US) went to the opera with his wife.

She took ill so they went home, to find the front door swinging in the wind.

All the art had been taken off the walls and was neatly stacked against the skirting boards, ordered by rough value, pricier stuff closest to the door :grimacing:

Was watching a channel earlier and they were out record buying in London.
One bloke had punk memorabilia for sale.
This poster of woods in Plymouth had just sold. The mystery chart group was the pistols when they were struggling to get anywhere to play.
Normally they went under Spots (sex pistols on tour)

Apparently only 2 of these known to exist ,this one sold for £7,500

Didn’t realise Peter Russell was a record dealer before he opened the HiFi Attic.

Pete Russell stickered most of the inventory he had - I’ve bought LP collections in Manchester / London / Birmingham all sporting Pete Russell stickers (He did a lot of imports too). The important thing about Pete Russel was the Tie in he had with Pete Vandike (Vandike club). Pete was very well connected to the record labels in London, as such he had access to many bands on promo tours. Vandike would book these acts and Pete would sell a shit load of records the following day to club members who’d just seen the act the night before. The Vandike club was once voted the best club outside of London by the NME. In many ways this was heavily influenced by Pete Russell
