(November 26, 2015) It certainly was a major player. That's where I bought my first record at 12 years old 'She loves You' - the Beatles.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes and I remember the sticker on every record. Save albums. Sadly I lost my priceless record collection when I left it in storage and came to America. but hey now with the internet you can find anything!!! Comment: Chris Hampton.
( April 2016) I used to live in Rosehill Gardens and obtained all my vinyl there from the mid 60's to the late 70's.
When did it actually get sold to HMV? I remember there used to to be a middle aged lady called Mrs Davis (who as a youngster seemed too old to be working in a record shop!) but she was brilliant and her knowledge and helpfulness was incredible.
I believe Gerry Landau owned the shop. Great memories. Mike Chapman.
Name Elliot Baxendale Comment: I love the idea that the record s that brought so much joy and inspiration are still in circulation. Giving the same feeling as when released to those of a different generation. (Nov 9, 2016).

When I worked there in 1960-1962, I was in the service department with Ray Tuck, Alan Stroud, and Robin (Connaway I think). Two of the girls in the shop were Ursula and Elspeth. Vic and Clara Landau owned and ran the shop with Gerald who was, I think, their son-in-law. Opposite Landau`s was a coffee shop selling fantastic Italian ice cream.

At the age of 15 I was well into the music of the time and I have a suitcase full of 45 s with the Landau,s sticker on with the number on the records corresponding with the sleeves. So many happy times asking the staff to play a particular track and going into a booth and listening over and over again . That was usually from a L.P.I was living in Cheam at the time (1960) and going to Chatsworth Road School. I am obviously talking about the SUtton Store.

I bought a record at a carboot sale at the weekend with a Landau sticker on the back. It was 'The Oscar Peterson Trio - The Trio : Live From Chicago' and the inscription on the sticker reads 'LANDAU RADIO ltd. 174, HIGH STREET, SUTTON, SURREY. Tel: Vigilant. 0084'. I now actually live in Sutton near the station, and would love to know where this shop used to reside, and whats there now.

Wow-another trip down Memory Lane! Having taken (late) retirement last year
I've found time to play a lot of my now much-reduced LP collection and-yes-the Landau's sticker is on many.
Early 1960s, as a Banstead schoolboy, I started with "The Great Western TV Themes" by Johnny Gregory, then the Beatles of course, then I got into film music-specifically Elmer Bernstein-those lovely United Artists LP covers.
