There's a whole chapter on Gordon/FON studios in the book
I love the way that book dispels the whole idea of 'it's a London thing'.

I thought is may have been in Magic Feet, good find!
Would love to have some copies of Magic Feet. Was gutted when we had a flood a couple of years ago & my Overload mags were totally destroyed. I looked at them & they looked undamaged, picked them up & they just disintegrated in my hand.

Cheers Spandex so true it hurts. 
I used to love the Freak Brothers comics and remember thinking how it wouldn't have looked out of place in one of those.
Warp had this mad glass-topped counter, made out of metal, in a kind of L shape. It had two decks, SL1210s under it and that was where I learned to DJ. Once I got into something I was a bit obsessive with it and DJing was the same. There was Chris, Dino, Winston, me and then loads of other people wanting to have a go on the decks and then the customers wanted to listen to stuff. There was also a whole other side to it with a really shit hot selection of every other type of music. So they wanted to get on the decks too. I was always coming down off something so never in the best of moods and Chris hated talking to people because he was so shy. So we basically just served DJs that we knew and when they bought something other people would buy it too. I remember we used to get Strictly Rhythm imports on a Thursday night and we never got enough. Every single release was absolutely storming, in those days.

Herb Garden was ace too - I remember one issue had a fake credit card - Pablo Escobar's Rack Em Out Card - though it did say on the card that if you actually use it, you're a sad dtuggy fool

Both Fon & WARP were dead friendly. I used to frequent both. I then had the displeasure of the 'happy dance music' types on the upper floor in the top shop at Selectadisc. I always remember buying an LP in FON & it not fitting onto the record player because the hole hadn't been drilled right, taking it back & them cutting it out for me with scissors & explaining what to do in future. Felt like such an idiot, but nowhere else would have done that.
Benson is in the group as well, yes?

The staff were dead nice but only to people who were dead nice back. There wasnt any 'the customer is always right' nonsense either. Fon was Rob Gordon wasnt it? He was so chilled. I remember around the time I started he had just bought a vinyl cutting machine and he would make a tune in the studio and then play it out to see what kind of reaction it got. Are you from Sheffield Mattym ?

he doesn't seem to be credited on any releases but it doesn say he was an original on discogs. I'm sure bmd knows more
