Before he joined the music industry, just over 30 years ago, Howard Corner was what he describes as “a record shop kid”.
Most people, of a certain age, perhaps of a certain disposition will know what he means.
A lack of transport and technology might have limited their options, but not their passions, and the local record shop (there might have been more than one, but there was usually only one that mattered) became your social life and your school; partly competitive, partly collegiate; sometimes cynical, more often encouraging. And always all about the music.
