It was a small record shop in a small town really nothing to get excited about.
In a way I can be even more specific about the tapes. Over the last couple of years I've been lucky enough to be given two huge collections of live cassettes which were just taking up space for their owners. But there's one big stall at one record fair in 1986 which haunts me. His prices were ridiculous so I could only afford to get four or five items - those I did get were incredible recordings for the time period but there were hundreds more I wanted and I never saw him again. The audios were all orange covers and the videos, oh the videos....., were all green. To give you an idea the asking price for one video of a 1985 concert which I can guarantee you has never been available anywhere since was £100. I couldn't afford that then if I was offered it for £100 today I would run to the cash machine and at least six websites would explode.
