Stan's
Comment
Stan Strickland also supplied acetates transcribed from tape recordings and records he must have been quite busy with this aspect because many of Stan's acetates still crop up in Bristol car boots. A certain Mr. Adge Cutler had a tape of 'Drink Up Thee Zider', recorded live at The Royal Oak, Nailsea, transcribed to disc at Stan's in 1958 - that's eight years before in was a hit on Columbia!

Quite a lot of Graph acetates, cut on Stan's disc cutter direct from tape (or naughtily dubbed from friends' records) still pop up around Bristol, complete with custom labels - the correct name of the shop, according to labels, is Stans Record Centre (no apostrophe).

Thursday was pay day from 1956 and that was my day to visit Stans with friend from work, John Saunders. The aim was to buy at least an EP. I still have many of those purchases and still have one of Stans discs as well. My recollection is that Stan cut it for my 17th birthday. Those were the days; 32/6d for a 12" LP but Blue Note LPs were 39/6d or possibly just over £2.
