So, this week I learned on here that there are in fact 7 mixtapes from that rave at Crystal Palace. My one was the 7th set. I also spotted something on my tape inlay I’ve never noticed before - see pic.
I bought that tape in Lucky Spin records on Kings Road. I remember going up the steps at the back of the shop and I vaguely remember seeing the tapes in a line in a glass counter. Lucky Spin then became Section 5 and was owned by Moving Shadow. I didn’t know that. Now look, I realise it was a bit dim of me to not make the link that the short bloke called Nicky I used to talk to behind the counter at Blackmarket Records was, uh, Nicky Blackmarket, but how the fuck did I not know that either? We went in there all the time because the Our Price on the corner kept quite a lot of hardcore on the shelf and then on up to the Bluebird Garage where there was a live DJ. It was always worth the trip there for music.
