Does anybody remember this magazine published between march 1971 and c.1975?
If so please let me know. I have unearthed some 'interesting' details about the record shop in Piccadilly arcade - but I need to go through more Grapevines.

I will have a word with my brother, as he was at Brum Art College between 1970 and 1974

I remember Cyclops well.
It was in one of the arcades connecting New Stret with Stephenson Street.
The shop sign was a classic image of Cyclops from The X-Men using his eye beams. If memory serves, it was run by an older, slightly curmudgeonly bloke.

No.
It's actually mentioned in DC's initial post - Picadilly Arcade.
(Note to self - pay more attention to threads).

Picadilly Arcade runs between New Street and Stephenson Street.
This should jog your memory:

I have located 3 Grapevines between March 1971 and Feb 1972 - which incredibly starts to hint at the Spinal Tap - esque activities inside the head of that alcoholic grumpy curmudgeon 'Roy Evans' the man behind Cyclops - so please watch this space whilst I sort the material out.
