Svein L from Bergen, Norway

Me and my girlfriend were in London for the weekend in August, due to my band playing at The Forum. We had a list of places to go, number 1 on the list was Rise Above Records & Relics, which wasn’t too far from where we were staying. I had met Lee back in the late 80s when he played in Oslo with his old band. That was a crazy time. I had seen Lee in concert several times since then but never had the chance to speak to him again. Anyway, I’m so glad we made it to the shop, as he was there along with the very gracious lady who worked with him. He remembered the gig in Oslo and we reminisced. Anyway the shop is amazing, with the best selection of used metal I have ever seen. There was also a killer selection punk and hardcore singles, as well as crazily rare 70s prog LPs. I bought a nice stack of stuff at a great price and to top it off, Lee joined us briefly for a beer afterwards. Happy days! Svein L. Bergen, Norway
