1977

This was Razors, this shop sold punk accessories and 50s style American clothes. Inside it was covered with all shiny black plastic. From an interview with the Dec 6 - 19 1977 edition of the Back-Street Bugle, the owners say "We sell punk things, but we're really into 1950s American clothes, music, decor and cars." It moved in March 1978.

prior to 1977

It was called Plain Clothing and then briefly Tacky Glamour (painted with a rainbow and run by Maddy). A photograph of April 1976 appears to show this shop with the name The Nearly Shop and a larger sign "Everything Secondhand".
