    I’m now excessively mature so my memory is seeing multiple covers of the Sex Pistols’ Never mind the Bollocks filling the HMV window (I did say I was old) but with the word Bollocks covered up. That and CD’s first appearing in the store at more than twice the cost of vinyl LP’s (£13 vs £5.49).

    I was about 15 and queued up for hours to get tickets for me and my mate to see Nirvana. I think they were about £13.50 each and then £1.50 ticket fee. Between then and the concert Kurt Cobain killed himself. I marched right back to HMV and got my £13.50 back. 🤦

    Imagine how awesome it would be to own one of the few, complete, tickets for a Nirvana concert that never happened.
