Comment: There was also a record shop downstairs in Harrogate market called Robell's Music Box run by a Billy Robell.
Name: G Reed.
Comment: You could buy cheap demo copies of the early punk bands and the proprietor used to stammer over saying "S-S-S-S Sex Pistols". It still had the listening booths right up to the 1970s, and a more private room for classical records.

The ROBELL MUSIC BOX stocks one of the largest selections of hit records and also has the new stereophonic sound. Also recently installed here are several new listening booths.”
