Comment: Morley Music in the Court Yard (also known as the Grave Yard!) in Thatcham, probably late 1980s into the 1990s. Owner relocated to Newbury as Whirlygog Records in the Arcade, Newbury. Closed late 1990s.

I found this in the 'Reading Evening Post' dated 23rd April 1988:
“RECORDS and TAPES BOUGHT, SOLD and EXCHANGED. 1,000's of bargains from the 1950's to current Chart material. MORLEY MUSIC, Broadway Courtyard, Thatcham. Tel: (0635) 71442.”
...and this in the same edition:
“Morley Music: Have recently moved to The Broadway Courtyard. They offer records and tapes to suit all tastes. They also offer the service of exchanging records and tapes.”
...and this in the 8th December 1988 edition:
“THATCHAM'S RECORD CENTRE - CHART 7in. SINGLES, L.P's AND CASSETTES. MORLEY MUSIC, BROADWAY COURTYARD, THATCHAM, (0635) 71442. Record tokens, 1989 Rock and Pop Calendars, T-Shirts, Posters, Badges, Flags, Patches, Tour Programmes, Magazines and Postcards.”
