This was my parents' shop around mid 1970s to 1981 when we moved to Australia. I believe we still have a couple of carrier bags with the original logo.

I found this letter on page 35 of 'Music Week' dated September 6, 1980:
“POLYGRAM'S NEW list of "catalogue" prices must rank as the greatest piece of impertinence this year. Having first decided to "abolish" RRP, they promptly replace it with a price list showing remarkable price reductions. Just another ruse to try and enforce a reduction in their back catalogue. If dealers were confused about the new-style despatch note, all they had to do was to refer to the last PolyGram RRP list and decide at which price to sell it. I would challenge this new so-called survey of prices as being totally false unless they surveyed the price of every item in the current catalogues in every shop. There is no point in surveying the Top 75 LP and singles, which I suspect comprised the majority of purchases surveyed. Indeed, it is more likely they were Top 20 product or big selling new releases. The attitude of PolyGram in this is really disgraceful and contemptible.
