Must admit, that surprises me - as a rule, what you don't know about Accy in the 60's ain't worth knowing! Maybe that's why they had to sell their records off so cheap...because hardly anyone ever went in!

after the co op closed bradlys gents and boys out fitters moved in, dont ask when.

I recall that, in the late 40s/early 50s, a large shop next to where Catlows Fruit market used to be (top of Broadway and where dry cleaners is now), sold records (old 78 type)
I remember going there with my brother and we were ushered into a large wood and glass listening booth. The assistant, wearing gloves, placed the record on the turntable, and we sat and listened before buying.

That shop later became a furniture store where I bought stuff for my 1st house in 1961(was called Platts)
