Charlie Gardiner - former Selectadisc employee

Selectadisc-ing the memories

Former independent record shop employee Charlie Gardiner shares his memories of the Nottingham institution.

Selectadisc began trading as a market stall in 1966.

The stall soon turned into a shop and it wasn't long before Selectadisc reached iconic status as one of Nottingham's music hotspots.

Charlie Gardiner visited the music mecca religiously to buy new and unheard of music.

When he was offered the chance to work there he jumped at it. He spent three years listening to and surrounded by music every day.

"It had that very much underground feel. Unpolished.

"People felt as if they could hang out here. It was a shop for the local community."

But music downloads proved the shop's downfall. In March 2009 it closed.

"It was so horrible to see the decline. It's a real shame."

Charlie says he lost more than his job when the shop shut its door for the last time.
