   I lived in a small village in England growing up. It was an hour bus ride to   
   the nearest town with a decent record store. I'd go to Revolver records in the   
   Four Seasons Shopping Centre to get a couple of 7" singles. I was never much   
   in to collecting albums back then. I liked the songs like heard but wasn't   
   willing to invest in stuff I had no idea about.   
      
   After that I'd walk down to Vinyl Mania which has the best used selection.   
      
   I had a paper round which would barely cover the bus fare and a couple of   
   singles but it'd be fun just to go into town.
