Mum took me to Biba right before it closed. My brothers couldn't care less, but this boy was in heaven - a sad heaven to be sure, because it was closing, but we walked out in a flurry of fabulous scarves.
Great stuff Simon - I used to hang out there all the time! It was truly decadent and magical. I was also lucky enough to be at that Pointers Sisters show in the Rainbow Room. PS my Substack is now up and running, I've posted five pieces so far. https://steveswindells.substack.com

Thank you, what a mad time, and a good explanation of what really went on! I had not realised the extent of it!
I was 22 and RCA had just released my first album 'Messages'.
