It was hilarious trying to order Peter Brotzmann records out of Impulse! Records in Hamilton back in the late seventies. Usually you waited for the old Union Street HMV Glasgow branch to have a clearance sale and suddenly there'd they all be for 99p each.

Can't remember who owned it except it definitely wasn't Billy Sloan.

Thats over 10 years it must be gone now. The bigger one in Motherwell closed too.

No one could get to the Motherwell one because of the roadworks. The Hamilton one is now an Oxfam, I think.

Weird, I was trying to remember the layout of Virgin on Union Street just the other day (for no real reason), talking mid eighties, Jazz was on the 2nd floor?
