Comment: The very first British pop film, the charming Rock You Sinners (1957) which features great shots inside and out of The Chimes Music Shop, 65 Marylebone High Street, London W1. I researched this when I first got the film in 2004. It was run for many, many years by a Mrs. Knight who was still running it right up until it closed in the late 1980s. It would have been her probably behind the counter, usually - not a very young Jackie Collins, as in the film! The shop is now a trendy café.

I found this classified advert in the ''Kensington Post' dated 19th March 1954: “YOUNG LADY, knowledge of music, required for training as assistant in records & music shop. Chimes Music Shop, 65, Marylebone High Street. W.1.”
