Virgin megaslore in Glasgow was not so much hunched as put into orbit, during a day of noisy and extrovert happenings involving Virgin Records and Retail staff, artists,^civic dignitaries and large crowds of onlookers and record buyers. After an open top bus ride to the store (during which MD Richard Branson, above centre, made free with the champagne) the ribbon i cutting was done by the Skids who went onto the roof of the building to release J balloons carrying prize tickets and to play a set directly visible to the crowds in the street and relayed by video inside the store. Both the Skids and later Ian Gillan took part in signing sessions in the 6.000 sq. ft. record department. Concessionaries in the five-storey building are Robert Smith hi-fi and video, John Jee jeans. Bullion jewellery. Radar punk outfitters, "a specialist hairdresser" and a card and poster department. There is also a Virgin ticket office and bookstore. PAGE 6 MUSIC WEEK SEPTEMBER 20, 1980
