I grew up in Hatfield and I'm pretty sure it was there from about 1970.
As a kid I used to go in just to gawp at the guitars on the wall.
It was run by a couple of what I thought were hippies, but in retrospect probably just had long hair like so many others at the time.
I loved it in there - they had such a great range of music, Blue Beat and ska before 2-Tone was a thing, loads of 60's stuff and prog. By 1977 they'd embraced punk and had a great 7" section

I found this listing in the 'Hertford Reformer & Mercury' dated 6th February 1981: “HATFIELD: Rag Records 10 Market Place 65013.”

Weirdly enough I just found two red paper Rag Records bags in two charity shops which are now directly under the old record shop.
