An early 1930s record sleeve from Messrs. Kent & Cooper of Market Street, Nottingham. They were a well known Nottingham music shop, specialising in good quality pianos, which they bought in from London manufacturers and 'rebadged' as their own - a common practice at the time. The firm still exists, now known as Clement Pianos, on Lenton Boulevard.
