World Outside The Window

The day my dad took me guitar shopping from Stoke, down to Birmingham, I settled on a £69, white 'Sumbro' Strat copy from George Clay's on Broad St. It was the summer of 1975 and I used the guitar at our final school christmas party later that same year. When we came out of the shop, I can't remember whether it was next door or on the opposite side of broad st, but we took a wonderous gaze through the window of a small music shop I've since been assured by former long-standing employee Gary (who then made the move to PMT) - was the original Musical Exchanges, and there, in the window amongst many other used guitars was a/the unmistakable 'Superyob' guitar. Now, in the summer of 1975 I don't think there were many if any copies around.
