Camden Days

Was going through Camden High St yesterday and remembering those days back in the 80s and early 90s when I used to go down to the market/Lock and the record fairs at the Electric Ballroom to try and find the latest rare prince tapes/videos. They were great days and would often meet loads of fans - anyone here used to go there? and was there the day Prince opened his store there with Mayte?

They were great days indeed. If you hunt hard enough, you can still find some pretty good stuff in Camden.

I loved the Prince store... What a wonderful place it was.

I only visited the shop once, a pleasure it was.
I was with a friend who was not really a fan of Prince, but it even made him smile!! biggrin

The Camden Palace gig remains the single funkiest aftershow Prince has ever played.

The Electric Ballroom is where concerts are played but during the day it is rented out and on some saturdays as a record fair.
