Thank heavens for Richer Sounds...

Was that on The Headrow - a way up from a Virgin Megastore? I spent a single year at Uni in Leeds - great fun but no work done, hence the year going unrepeated.

Yep the little store on the Headrow opposite St John Centre, before they moved to the bigger premises. That store really was like the catalogue used to say "Tiny shops packed floor to ceiling to keep prices low." I've not actually been to the bigger store.

"Tiny shops packed floor to ceiling to keep prices low."

The London Bridge store famously held the world record for most retail sales value, per square foot.
That record was apparently still held in 2023 - not sure if it still is.

One of my closest branches was Chelmsford - but that actually closed - doubt they've closed many (if any) other branches since 1978.
