Magnum Records

Yes it was my brother in laws shop..John Taylor..I lived in the flat above. Such great times.

I found this in the 'Greenford & Northolt Gazette' dated 25th March 1983: “MAGNUM Records Limited has been open six years now. Like many other smaller record shops the firm tends to specialise in certain musical areas. Magnum centre round what is frequently termed ‘Black’ music such as Funk, Soul and Reggae. The Directors of the company are West Indian born John Taylor, a former motor mechanic and his wife Valerie. John started the business from scratch after deciding he would like a complete change of employment. He carries a comprehensive range of discs covering most musical tastes besides the Soul, Reggae and Disco in which he specialises. The last named is an understandable choice as John has been a DJ in local discos around Ealing and district. Another line offered by Magnum Records is Tee-shirts. These bear pop group motifs which are specially made for John’s firm. He does however design some of his own and these carry an emblem associated with the business and the words Magnum Force. Besides selling music, blank cassettes plus many other accessories - in fact a wide range of musical requirements - John also undertakes repairs to Hi-Fi’s, Televisions and Videos.”
