A-Z of Record Shop Bags: 1940s to 1990s: British Record Store Bags from the 1940s to 1990s

Arrived well packaged and in immaculate condition. Bought for my girlfriend as a gift as she’s a graphic designer. She loves it!

This is an interesting book about record shops and their bags! Not just that however.. when vinyl sales are healthy again it's a look back at how times have changed for both record buyers and for retail shops on the streets of UK towns and cities.

Most of these bags in this book are from the British Record Shop Archive . All I wanted was help towards the cost of the website for that year. Did Johnny Trunk cough up? Answer is, NO! The publicity he gained for the brand of 'Johnny Trunk' was worth hundreds. Not an honourable man.One item was researched poorly 'It Records' shop was in Lurgan and Portadown. Nothing to do with the IT publication. Another is wrong bag used for the wrong shop with the same name.The disappointment is how those with resources treat others to gain advantage. I think people should be aware of this. Every book tells its own story.The Curator British Record Shop Archive

Wonderful that people keep these sort of things, this is a fascinating look at a thing we all carried with pride back in the 60s and 70s and clearly some people kept them, I didn't, I used them to death and all are long gone. Glad to see many of my favourite stores are included as well as 100s of others that I have never visited. Hope Johnny Trunk keeps bringing out these sort of quirky books (loved his Wrappers Delight and Own Label)

Sounded like a fun idea but turned out kind of boring..
