Comment:
I also worked in the Arcade Music Shop which was the 'in' place to be and in the 1960s it was a fantastic era in every sense of the word. I loved it. What with The Beatles and Tamla Motown and soul music plus the stereo sound had just become available and you had a choice when you bought an LP, mono or stereo?

David Howman also worked there and went on to be a good musician. Mr Rumerlow owned the shop and his two sons Mark and Paul took over the running of it. I worked in the record side of it and we had booths for people to stand and listen to the latest releases.

Cliff Richard came in once while I was there, also Frankie Vaughan and the Beverley Sisters.
