I remember buying a Frank Zappa record, (cant remember the title), from Pete Burns at Probe at Enterprise House and was expecting a hard time, but he was very nice and handed me the record and took my money without comment. My first purchase from Probe was in the mid 70's which , as far as i can remember, was in a basement on Whitechapel.
I will be looking out for her book next year. For me, collecting interesting, cool records was sort of like being in a band (when I was younger), cos having some hard to find, old records by some great, obscure psychedelic/garage band would spark the girls interest, on the Alternative and Retro scene that I wanted to be part of in the mid to late 80s... AND, of course, cos I really loved and wanted to listen to that kind of music (and see those kind of girls!).
Great interview. Enjoyed watching.

😅 Scarey Pete Burns! What a character, legendary now.

Went there is 77/78 to buy a Damned album when I was 16/17 and Pete Burns absolutely refused to sell it to me. Walked out with Exodus by Marley.
I hope you managed to get a copy of The Damned album, too, eventually.
Wow, what a great woman! How, where did you find her??! 😍
(No need to reply, you are actually explaining that in the video, right now. 👍)
Pedant Alert - She said Rubber Soul and you said about Klaus Voormans intricate design..which is of course not rubber soul ;-)
Absolutely right. It had been a long day!
