Record shops you have known and loved

My first forays into ‘proper’ record shops were Manic Hedgehog on Cowley Road in Oxford, and subsequently Massive Records, again in Oxford. But my best/most influential finds were at the back of a menswear shop called ‘Lucky in Love’ (which ironically Massive took over from when they moved to their second shop). It was here they used to have a little box of imported 12’s for sale, tucked away, and it’s where I scored my first copies of things like The House Music Anthem on Trax.
