Studio Musica – Grosvenor Shopping Centre Northfield. This shop has the distinction of being the shop I bought my very first album from – Frampton Comes Alive in 1976. Comment: Mark Tyler.

(Jan 30,2015) Used to buy sheet music from the Shirley shop (near the Shirley Temple restaurant!). Got the books for Rod Stewart's 'Never A Dull Moment' and Lindisfarne's 'Dingly Dell' there. Happy days! Comment:Pete Bowman

I started work as an apprentice dental technician in 1971. The dental lab was on the other side of Stratford Road to Studio Musica. I think I visited most days to have a flick through the albums. Often buying singles (T.Rex mostly) and who remembers the 7" cardboard sleeves to protect them. Comment:Mick Blizzard
