It wasn’t too long after I started out as a professional record dealer in 1992/1993 (where did those 25 years go?) that I began to become ‘creative’ in my search for the Black Gold. I was living smack-dab in the middle of Brixton at the time (just behind the Ritzy Cinema, if you know the area) and historically, Brixton has always been an absolute goldmine for black music – reggae in particular, obviously.
