None of you guys would have heard of him, but he was a friend of my parents and I also knew him personally
NZ record shop owner, raconteur and writer Roy Colbert has died aged 68 following a long period of illness (he had had diabetes all his life). He ran the record shop "Records Records" from 1971 to 2005 and was a mentor to the young bands that formed the acclaimed "Dunedin Sound" scene of the late 70s and early 80s.

He also interviewed a lot of visiting stars like Lou Reed and Tom Petty
RIP Roy
