although I didn't own the sports centre or tennis club, I did own Hinckley Sound Centre. And it was one of the greatest record shops of all times - noisy, friendly (except to the goons who purloined record sleeves for their bedroom walls), informative, cheap and expert. It's a pity that the citizens of Rugby (now there's a shithole) didn't feel the same about the shop I opened there; if they had done, HSC would still be going (my fault...a failed attempt to be Branson). And more.....it had a great Rugby Club, a superb wine bar in Karns run by the beautiful Chrissy (who I saw recently and hasn't changed a bit);
Ha ha - having opened the hostilities on Hinckley, I am glad I acknowledged the greatness of Hinckley Sound Centre. I definitely bought the OP8 album off you and probably a few more. And as per my post, Mrs SPT lodged with the lovely Chrissie for a year (we're still in touch).
