i have a small piece of video footage of john swain's shop that tony
madejczyk shot 19 years ago after a hanks brewery show. he walked out
of the club and kept the camera on. he went straight across the street
to the record hole (was right next to college beverage then) and
filmed into the window of his store. he focused on that turntable for
awhile till the police came and asked him what he was doing. i think
someone told me that footage was used in a a short tribute film at his
memorial. the other footage was of john at a record show, probably
hillsborough at the big barn.
