The term "mom and pop shop" gets thrown around a lot. But how often do you rock-up to a shop actually owned by a ‘mom’ and a ‘pop’?** Vera and Lee Ross have run Recycled for over 30 years, they’re ‘mom and pop’ to Millie Ross, (whose fantastic Lilac Menace zine they still stock), and their shop is chock-a-block with great stock (including T-shirts from Upper Playground). They focus on eclectic, interesting new music, they know their shit, and they’ve always got super cheap deals out the front. Near vinyl-lovers haven Ready Steady Records, pop over after the markets some morn to be proud parents to some terrific new purchases.
