I found this advert in the 'Huddersfield Daily Examiner' dated 8th July 1960: “These are just few recommended LPs from our large stocks. Call in and browse at your leisure through our selection of LPs and EPs covering music for all tastes. WOODS FOR EVERYTHING MUSICAL 67 New Street, Huddersfield.”

The Wakefield shop had a record section upstairs. It was never the ‘go to’ but sometimes you got a winner from the bargain bin. Paranoid by the Dickies on clear vinyl for 50p still lingers in the memory.

Comment: Woods music shop in New Street, Huddersfield, now long gone sadly. It was mainly a musical instrument and sheet music shop, but they had quite a decent record selection at the back. Along the back wall was a row of booths (like telephone boxes) with headphones, if you asked nicely they'd play you an album before buying it. The somewhat stuck-up managers' expression was a picture when I asked to listen to the latest Discharge album, LOL.

Comment: I still have my Woods discount card somewhere from my DJing years in the 1980s!
Fantastic shop, if they didn’t have it, they could get it in a day or two.
I remember going through the catalogues with the staff! So good and knowledgeable. Miss Woods like mad.

Comment: Worked at Woods in the singles department with two legends, Maureen and Barbara. Their knowledge was immense.

Comment: I worked in Woolies as a Saturday girl, and used to cross Darley Street at lunchtime to Shuttleworths to decide which record I would buy with my wages.
