Thanks. A fascinating article. I didn’t know about the exhibition, which I’ll try to get to.

Hot, Hot, Hot was produced in 1982, not 1987. I’m surprised it only reached number 59 in 1984 as it was being played everywhere that summer.

I think its one of those things that if you know, you know, but if it wasn't part of your upbringing then this post wouldn't have bought a smile to your face (including the slightly disorganised implementation).

Between this and the exhibition in the new V&A, black British music heritage is getting a lot of attention at the moment. Great to see (and hear)!

Niche but nice. Recall both Hot Hot Hot and Silly Games.

I used to play football in my teens in Harrow and Wembley against the team Willesden Hawkeye. I'm assuming the team's roots were connected to the record store in some way?

Thank you for highlighting this Mr. Geezer. I would never have known otherwise.

...meant to also say, the BBC drama 'Small Axe' from a few years ago is set in Ndubz and has a great soundtrack if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the extra background! I was wondering which earworm I would be left with and sadly it was Snoopy Vs the Red Baron
