Steve's Record Centre — Provenance

Mail & Guardian (Profiles the shop while still trading, on 'the very busy Jerusalem Street' in Marabastad (Asiatic Bazaar), Pretoria; owner Omarjee Vally described as stocking jazz records for Tshwane jazz collectors; 'Pretoria has always been the bedrock of jazz'.) December 2014
News24 / City Press (Names it the oldest music shop in Pretoria, open since the mid-1970s, serving jazz and gospel collectors in Marabastad.) April 2015
Global South Media Network (Confirms closure: on a return visit to Marabastad the writer finds 'lock and key' where the shop used to be, and learns from neighbouring Kashmiri Restaurant that 'Steve's Record Centre went belly-up, following the death of the owner Omarjee Vally.' No specific month/year given for the closure, so closed_date is left null rather than guessed.) May 2025
