Name: Chris Harris
Comment: Still have quite a few 45s in my collection from the shop, but while the sleeves have the same design, they all have the shop's earlier address, which was 31 Crabbery Street. The shop's phone number back in the early 1960s was Stafford 634.

Brand new high fidelity albums of three long playing records, giving hours of fun for the family and there's something for everyone! Hit songs from the Beatles. All your favourite shows like South Pacific, West Side Story, Carousel and a wonderful selection of light classical music. THERE IS JUST ONE very small point. We have managed to secure a very limited number of these exciting record albums and in order to be very fair in distribution we must limit customers to one album per record player or radiogram purchased between now and Christmas. THERE SHOULD BE NO trouble in selecting the right instrument. We have such a large selection of Record Players and Stereogrammes that there is something for everyone. They're all in stock now so call in at our Bridge Street branch and choose the Player to go with your free three long playing records. 10 BRIDGE STREET, STAFFORD 51234.”
