Above: ad from Christmas 1985 showing albums you could buy for £5. The copy refers t0 CDs, although there is an acknowledgement of how expensive the new technology was. Virgin Megastores went bust about a week ago.
Above: Dingwalls in Camden Lock. The bands featured in the Virgin ad would all have performed here or came here to see other bands (Scritti Politti lived in Camden). Three nights a week there was also a nightclub.
