Beanos

I was doing a Tesco Express survey in Croydon today and had about an hour left to hit the centre and check out some record shops.

I knew that Beanos was closing down,and wondered if it had shut down already,but blow me, it is still here (just). The three floors  that was full of vinly and CDs are  now down to one floor. There are some bargains to be had but lack of time prevented me from digging further.

Anyway picked up five singles there for 50p each, including "Save The Country" by The Fifth Dimension, "These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra and "My Baby Just Cares For Me" by Nina Simone.

Also from MemoryLlane Records a Herb Alpert LP from 1970 for a quid,including a cool version of "A Taste of Honey" and the Coaster's "Love Potion No.9". 101 Records was shut today, but at least Croydon still has three fine shops for old vinyl.
