Name: Pete Chilton Comment: I recall occasionally visiting the Oxford branch of Harlequin at 36 Cornmarket Street. As a young teenager I always felt a little out of place in what was a 'grown-ups' record store, most people of my age getting their music from WH Smith, Boots or Woolies. Tended to use Music Market across the road but I do remember buying Tusk by Fleetwood Mac in Harlequin... (12 January 2015)
Name: Stewart Williams Comment: I remember working in the head office in the returns department sending back scratched records. We also had a guy who worked there who was the spitting image of the old boy on Snafu's 1970s album All Funked Up, but what I do remember most was getting Paul McCartney's autoraph - he was visiting his shirtmaker down the road and the only thing I had to write on was a petty cash voucher. Those were the days, my friends. (28 May 2017)
