You know we love a good back story, so here’s a few for you from heckhippy:
back in the early `90`s i was working in carnaby street in a shop called METALHEAD – as we were one of the biggest customers with Brockum t-shirt manufacturers they were nice to us at the end of their financial year and would sell us a load of end of line and sample shirts at a flat rate, very cool :) – i am listing THREE of the Metallica sample shirts i grabbed for my own collection from around 1992 / 1993 all of which i believe to be one-of-a–kind shirts that never went into production for one reason or another
We can assume these were shop misprints or test shirts. Either way, rad backstory and cool, vintage Metallica tees. Do any of our London/UK readers (Boardy …) remember this store?
Metalhead was awesome – used to get their mail order catalog all the time. They were THE source for band merch in the UK back in the late 80’s / early 90’s.
I’m looking for others that worked at metalheads. Matt in particular. Can I contact you?
Im from Germany. I remember this Shop good :) Was there twice in younger Days.
I still have one of these silver bags with red print on it :)
