Sam Taylors (Silver Street, Bury)

They had a record shop inside. in the mid 1960's I had a school friend whose very glamorous Auntie worked there full time.

She had access to the very thick singles catalogues that retailers were given to buy/order their 45's. We used to look up all the Northern Soul titles that we loved from the Youth club and later the Twisted Wheel. The disc labels I remember were Red and Black Atlantic, Stax, Fontana, Tamla etc

I think so.  Didn't they have booths downstairs where you could listen to the record before buying?
