At the foot of Wimbledon Hill was a very posh music shop called Maxwells - instruments, everything. Had separate listening booths.
They would put anything on for you from stock or ordered - probably from the influence of 'THE GRAMOPHONE" (mainly classical LPs reviewed but some jazz). They were very good and did not seem to mind if you didn't buy the LP you had heard! We schoolkids used it a lot! Comment: Edward Black
