Delmar's Music Shop

Delmar's Music Shop

Picture
Delmar's Music Shop, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar, early 60s. They had to cover a wide range of music in a very small space (they also sold musical instruments). There was a listening booth and the staff were very helpful to a young teenager with hardly any money - I got 2/9 an hour for my Sunday morning job. Most of the music I liked had already been deleted by the time I started liking it but they would look stuff up in their huge catalogues and tell me what had been rereleased on EPs. Then they would order it in for me and if I didn't like it I didn't have to buy it..And I've still got one of their bags!  Comment: treefrogdemon's
