TRACKING DOWN HARD-TO-FIND DISCS

Where can I get that record of ...? It’s a question that keeps cropping up even among people whose tastes are for easily obtainable pops and classics. SHEILA FITZJONES provides the answer that can save you the hours of searching that often end in disappointment.

The record industry has undergone a revolutionary upheaval in the past few years, with supermarkets selling 12 in. LPs for 12s. 6d., along with detergents and cheap shoes. But even though the outlets for records are more numerous, there are still some shops worth knowing about if you are anxious to track down a particular type.

I found this piece in the ‘Illustrated London News’ dated 1st June 1988:
“Harold Moore’s Records, 2 Great Marlborough St., W.1. (437 1576). Famous for its unusual imports (e.g. the Russian Melodiya label), & the staff are musical-encyclopaedias.”
