Although the hunting was part of the fun. And using mailorder, getting records sent all the way from AMERICA!
I remember paying £16 for Double Nickels On The Dime (in 1985! a small fortune), which was only available on import for quite some time.
And I did buy some 'second choice' records because sometimes you wanted to just pop into your local Our Price and buy a record.
