The Musical Box Record Shop

And we’re finally done! After the shops feature on Antiques Road show last year, @waynecolquhoun suggested we should display the shops history in a museum upstairs. With it also being the shops 75th year anniversary we decided we wanted to give back to Diane’s Mother Dorothy 1/4

Truly saddening to hear the passing of Ozzy Osbourne just weeks after his final gig. Ozzy was a true legend and pioneer whose voice defined rock music for generations. We couldn’t even put a guess on the countless amounts of his records we’ve sold over the decades, including some…

The story passed down from Dorothy over 60 years ago was during the early 1960’s two young girls screamed “that was The Beatles!” as two young lads left the shop after buying a copy of Mersey Beat magazine, but we never knew which two Beatles it was. Over 60 years had passed…

A history lesson behind the red chairs in the upstairs shop floor! These red chairs came from Liverpool’s iconic music shop Rushworth & Dreaper's tea room which was located in Islington between 1828-1960 when it relocated to White Chapel. When the White Chapel shop closed down,…

We have absolutely loved our first year of giving tours at the shop with our good friends Fab 4 Taxi Tours! We took the tour our selves for a surprise birthday present for Paula! Our tour guide and friend John took us around all the key locations and filled us in on countless…
