I found this advert in the 'Liverpool Daily Post (Welsh Edition) dated 11th December 1964:
“RECORDS FOR ALL THE FAMILY. All the WELSH Records in Stock. Records despatched to all parts of the World. RECORD TOKENS - COUNTY RECORD SHOP (T. & J. ROWLANDS) 319 HIGH STREET, BANGOR. Telephone 2120.”
... and this in the 'North Wales Weekly News' dated 11th December 1969:
“Records for Christmas - Finest selection in North Wales of English and Welsh. Also a Good Selection of Guitars. THE COUNTY RECORD SHOP 319, HIGH STREET, BANGOR. Telephone 2120.”
... and this piece in the 24th July 1980 edition:
“WITH the recession now in full swing, the record buying public in North Wales have never had things so good. Instead of prices soaring with inflation running so high, albums are actually dropping in price as companies battle to maintain a fair slice of the market. In Bangor Mr. David Rowlands of the County Record Shop said: It now looks like the men will be sorted out from the boys as companies battle to stay in business. He said that last year most albums were on offer for around the £5 mark, but now it was £4. Not all companies have dropped their prices in this way, CBS for instance, but many have." He said that there was a noticeable slump in trade in the earlier part of the year, but things were now picking up.”
