I've recently moved home to Kingston only to find that Slammin Vinyl/Cage records has become a sandwich shop or something.
Anyone know what happened?
Also did the shop ever have any link with the promoter? Always wondered that...

I can answer the second question but not the first really......................
The first and only time that I went to slammin Vinyl in kingston was in about 1997/1998 (Envoy what Aphrodite tune did you buy, Was it peace, love and unity?)so I can't really say when it closed, but i can tell you that it had nothing to do with the raves and record label as I asked my mate who plays old skool about that ages ago and he gaveme the low down.

the main things that killed the shop were -
the rise of UKG (they were slightly off the pace)
the death of hardcore
and the fact they never made a website
as delsa says the shop and the promoter were dif things (but in the early days red alert etc.. did have a finger in the shop, but as things moved on Jimmy J bought the shop outright but was allowed to keep the name.) Eventually Slamming Vinyl Promotions grew bigger and amalglamated with the other big hardcore promoters.
