A much-loved Liverpool record shop that has been run by four generations of the same family is celebrating 76 years in business.
Located on West Derby Road in Tuebrook, The Musical Box record shop dates back to the 1947 and first sold toys and LPs to customers before it became the business the city knows and loves today. Thought to be Liverpool's oldest surviving record shop, the Liverpool ECHO recently spoke to the business for our How It Used To Be series about the history of the shop and memories throughout the years.
The shop was originally owned by Tony Quinn's great-uncle Jack, but when the family returned to Liverpool, Tony's grandmother, Dorothy, later bought the Tuebrook shop. Tony's mum, Diane Cain, grew up in the shop which used to sell everything from loose cigarettes to Meccano toys, before she took on the business and passed it down the generations.
