Do you recall these record shops?

I have come across records paper bags from two record shops in Grantham from the 1980s.
I ran my own mobile disco from 1975 till 1986 and lived in Castle Bytham so I had 2 shops to buy my records from each week,  one was in Stamford the other was here in Grantham

Also there was a disco shop on London Road –  they were great lads in that shop. Bargains when they saw me comming in the shop they treated me realy good..well I do have a scan of the record bags so here they are

 MAT DISCO  was my disco name then I am a big 80s fan. Anyone recall thse shops?
