Tudor Records
I also have fond memories of the shops in and around Muswell Hill, my teenage years home. Tudor Records next to the Post Office and Les Aldrich in Fortis Green Road both had the stand up listening booths. I must have bought loads of Beatles records from them before moving on to Kevin Ayres, Pink Floyd and Ry Cooder. Les Aldrich are still there, or were a couple of years ago, selling classical CDs and sheet music. Phil Abel Sound of the world forum
Tudor Records - originally next to the ABC Cinema at the top of Muswell Hill, then moved to The Broadway near the Post Office. Jean and Bunny Gold ran it. Les Aldrich (late of the Squadronaires?) was on the same side of the road as the Odeon, and later moved to the other side of the street. Comment: Chris Hughes

Ian Shepherd 'I bought, or rather my mum bought, my first Cliff singles and my first Shadows singles from Tudor when it was next to the ABC cinema (The Ritz at that time, I believe). When they'd moved I bought my first Tamla Motown single from them as well. When I was little I also knew their daughter, Sheila Gold. later on, when the Golds retired, they sold the shop to Alan Davison, ex-Lightning Records and also ex-Laser Records. Whatever happened to Alan?' (June 1, 2016)

Name Yvonne Carey Comment Wow this is a blast from the past! I used to help unpack new stock out the back to help pay off for my records. Alan used to put new lovers rock and reggae limited editions aside for me. Most of my record collection which is in my loft was bought from Tudor Records. I remember Imagination lived around the corner and they were often in the shop and signed my LP cover for me.
