that would have been 'rock pile' (now CD3000 or some computer shop), and, yes an excellent wee shop for bargain bootlegs and herbs, as the dude who ran it was a stoner and stocked more than mere music. i miss the smell of his warez.
there was also another wee yellow-painted music shop half-way up the hilltown (next door to the dundee pie shop) called 'totally mental' who at the other end of the spectrum seemed to make their way in life via stolen goods (did i mention the hilltown?), this was an excellent place to acquire brand new cd's at rock bottom prices.
both of these small establishments fell to grouchos about the time grouchos moved into 1 perth road
now there's no competition, which in a way i can understand when many an afternoon i'd buy a cd at one of the two and then end up going to groucho's anyway to buy the new cd cases they stocked as rock pile and totally mental's stock were usually fucking arsed. grouchos used to stock crystal cases, now they seem to even replace damaged cases of trade-ins, no new-comer can really stand up to them.
and they still deserve their title as one of scotland's premier music exchange and ticket outlets as i've recently bought a vaselines LP and a big fat book on bill hicks, all for less than erm, a rangers match.
