About me: Hello Everybody and I Mean Everybody
Bob Thomas from BIM BAM RECORDS (UK) here.
I've been into Rockin' music since 1974, I heard the hot sounds of Rock 'n' Roll at the WAYOUT youth club in Hammersmith, this was the local haunt for the notorious Shepherds Bush Rockers (Johnny Farrell, Gary McMillan etc etc) These guys brought their own records to the club & spun them on the twin decks, I'm sure the club owned Slade & Bay City Rollers records were trashed...That was the start of a 33 year journey.
17 years ago I started BIM BAM RECORDS, I set up a mail-order business with monthly catalogues & soon picked up a good rep for specialising in rare re-issue/repro 45s & LPs. Of course in those days we only sold hot rockin' wax.
but nowdays we sell CDs/DVDs/Vinyl - check us out at www.bim-bam.com
Over the years I have had stalls at all the main UK rockin' weekenders (Hemsby, Rave, Riot etc etc) & I still stall out at 50s record fairs around the UK.
IT'S THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD - WWW.BIM-BAM.COM for all your rockin' music
