Album covers

I might have been helped by you - I loved Ashwoods back in the day, everything sorted in their sections, you could get lost for hours ........

Cool.
We paid either 1, 2 or 3 dollars for albums and charged 2,4, or 6.
As a buyer, whoever bought a set of albums had the first dibs on what was there if they wanted anything. Had a couple of heated arguments, especially with one guy over a Sunnyboys coloured vinyl album, who was out to make as much money as he could working there by selling at markets on the weekends.
Owners were 3 lovely guys. They started working there after WW2. The original owner gifted the 3 of them the shop when he died. It was worth 2 mill in the early 80s. They paid us bonuses every 6 months.
Went to the dishlickers a couple of times with Nev, one of the owners, he was into training them.
